Medical Dermatology

Urgent spot check

This appointment is only for a single mole or skin growth that is changing, bleeding, painful, or has a concerning appearance.
This is not for rashes, full skin checks, or hair loss. See other options below.

Level 1 Visits

Up to 15 minutes with Dr Goddard

Examples:

This appointment type is generally for established patients following up with Dr Goddard.
Follow up for acne, eczema, psoriasis, warts, or medication refills
This appointment type is not the right choice if you desire a full skin exam or full skin cancer screening. See below for other options

Level 2 Visits

Up to 30 minutes with Dr Goddard

Examples:

Most new patient evaluations fit this category
Full skin exam - This includes a thorough “head to toe” mole check by a board certified dermatologist and expert in melanoma and dermoscopy. This is a skin cancer screening and an appropriate visit choice for patients wanting a baseline or annual prevention check, but do not have a history of extensive skin cancer removals or other skin/hair concerns to address at this visit
Cryotherapy (freezing precancerous actinic keratosis, irritated seborrheic keratosis (nicknamed “barnacles”) or warts included for up to 10 spots
New patient visit for new issues such as acne, unknown rash, melasma, psoriasis or eczema.
Hair loss initial consultation and treatment plan

Level 3 Visits

45-60 minutes with Dr Goddard
$325 - $450
Schedule

Examples:

45-60 minute visits are uncommon, but are certainly available for more complex needs such as:
visits for multiple concerns (i.e. mole check + rash + acne)
autoimmune inflammatory conditions
blistering skin conditions
a functional medicine initial consultation
If you feel your concerns fit this complexity level, or you would just prefer to have 45-60 minutes with Dr Goddard you can book this time slot and you will receive a call from the office so that we can better understand your specific needs

Teledermatology

(Virtual Visit)
A teledermatology visit is a virtual appointment with Dr Goddard through a smartphone, tablet or internet-connected computer that has a camera and microphone. This is done directly through our secure and privacy protected technology platform. You can use a teledermatology visit to address any number of new or existing dermatology-related problems. Common conditions we can address virtually include acne, rosacea, hair loss, psoriasis and other various rashes. Conditions that cannot be addressed with teledermatology include skin cancers, changing moles or conditions requiring hands on surgical procedures.

Extras

Skin biopsy prices
Shave biopsy - $125
Flat fee for single shave biopsy (no stitches).
Includes pathology lab fee
Punch biopsy - $150
Flat fee for single punch biopsy (includes stitches and stitch removal)
Includes pathology lab fee
You have the option to submit these lab specimens under your insurance for potential coverage but there will be a fee of $50-75 for the procedure that is separate from what the pathology lab charges your insurance to process and read the slides.
Additional fees for special immunostains may occur. These are uncommon and you would be notified if special tests are needed.
Prescription drug prior authorization - $25-50
Certain prescription medications require extensive paperwork and phone calls to gain coverage. You will be informed in advance if your prescription requires this extra step.

Surgical Dermatology

Shave removal

This is for an irritated raised mole that is irritated by clothing or grooming

Skin tag removal

$150 and up
Schedule
Freezing: $150 for up to 10 small skin tags that can be treated with cryotherapy (freezing). These are those tiny little nub that can be found around the neck
Snipping: $250 for up to 10 slightly larger skin tags that are too big to freeze. These are common in the underarms

Cosmetic freezing

$150 and up
Schedule
This is for seborrheic keratosis (AKA “barnacles” or brown, rough, warty age spots) or appropriate facial lentigines (flat light brown age spots)

Benign excision

Surgical removal of entire lesion that requires stitching
Examples would be lipomas, cysts, neurofibromas, very large “skin tags” that require stitching.
Pricing varies based on size, location and complexity. Full precise estimate will be provided at consultation
Some benign lesions will require a pathology specimen fee in addition. This will be discuss prior to surgery if required

Skin cancer excision

Previously diagnosed skin cancer via skin biopsy by Dr Goddard or outside medical provider
Pricing varies based on size, location and complexity. Full precise estimate will be provided at consultation. As a reference $650 would be the higher end for a melanoma requiring larger/deeper margins and more complex repair

Destruction of superficial skin cancers

by curettage (scraping) and electrodessication (burning)
This is often referred to as “scrape and burn” in dermatology offices
This is appropriate only for smaller superficial basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma in situ and not an option for deeper skin cancers

Cosmetic cauterization

$100-300
Schedule
This is for sebaceous hyperplasia (overgrown oil glands on the face), cherry angiomas (bright red small growths on the body)

Milia extraction

$100-300
Schedule
This is for those little white pinpoint bumps/cysts that are a common nuisance on the face. They are clogged pores with trapped miniature keratin cysts. We prep the skin, open up the cyst and press them out in a safe and effective way

Cosmetic Dermatology

Cosmetic consultation

This includes expert evaluation of skin texture, discoloration and unwanted lines. We will discuss a plan based on your budget that could include topical prescription or over the counter products, in-office chemical peels, and injectable therapies
The consultation fee can be applied to services provided within 1 month of consultation
All cosmetic procedures at MD Derm are performed directly by Dr Goddard, an expert in the science of skin and positive aging

Cellulite reduction

See a lasting difference with this minimally-invasive procedure
TBD
with consultation
Schedule
Avéli™ is a minimally invasive approach to lasting treatment of cellulite based on a deep understanding of women’s anatomy. While many treatments approach cellulite blindly from the outside-in, Avéli™ identifies and releases the primary structural cause of cellulite from the inside-out in a single minimally-invasive procedure with little downtime.
0% interest payment plans available for 3, 6 or 12 months (with credit approval).

Wrinkle relaxers

$200-600
Schedule
We are talking about products such as Botox™, Dysport™, Xeomin™. These are also referred to as “neurotoxins”. These products are injected into muscles of facial expression to reduce lines that are caused by facial muscle movement. Examples are the vertical lines between the eyes, horizontal lines on the forehead, and “crows feet” around the eyes.
Pricing is based on the amount of neurotoxin needed. This is determined by Dr Goddard based on your facial muscle strength, the number of areas treated and the severity of lines. A typical session can cost $200-600 and a precise estimate for your treatment will be discussed at consultation.

Chemical Peels

$150-300
Schedule
Chemical peels are an in-office procedure that can improve acne, reduce fine lines, and correct sun-damaged skin. These are stronger than over the counter peels and require precision in strength, chemical compound and application technique.
