LIDOCAINE NOTICE: October 2022
Please be aware when making your appointment that there is currently a national local anesthetic shortage forcing us to postpone elective procedures requiring local anesthetic. We are reserving our lidocaine supply to continue to care for our skin cancer patients and those who require abscess drainage. We anticipate this shortage to last at least one year, after which we plan on returning to our normal practice of providing this care.
TELEMEDICINE:
Patients with acne, rashes and individual lesions concerning for skin cancer may be able to be examined by Skype, What’sapp or Facetime, but this will not be appropriate for full skin exams. You can discuss your appointment with our staff and they will determine if your appointment can be scheduled through telemedicine. The patient must be in the state of Missouri during the call to use this optino. We do not accept pictures on-line.

If you have been diagnosed with Covid, or had a fever or any symptoms of an infectious illness during the 14 days prior to the appointment, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment 2 weeks beyound the original appointment. If you have been exposed to someone diagnosed with Covid, or who has had a fever or any symptions of an infectious illness during the 14 days prior to the appointment, then you will be asked to reschedule your appointment 2 weeks beyond the original appointment. If you are concerned about delaying your care for two weeks, please let my staff know and they will relay this concern to me so I can address your specific concerns.
We do require that a mask be worn at all times in the office and that the patient come in alone when they are able. This situation remains fluid and these screening parameters may change day to day. We ask for your patience and understanding during this challenging time. We look forward to caring for you as always.
