I’m new! Where do I start?
Welcome! We are so excited to meet you! First steps will be to set up an appointment; we have many ways to do this but an easy way to start is to email us at office@premier-dermatology.com and leave a detailed email including: your full name, date of birth, cell phone number (we will text you new patient forms), reason for visit, and what insurance you have. If you have specific days of the week / general time preferences (morning v. afternoon) you can add that in so we can try our best to accommodate you.
For your visit, please ensure all of the paperwork sent to you has been completed – if not we will need you to complete it prior to your appointment starting. Please arrive without makeup and a clean face if you are having a skin check or cosmetic procedure. We do have a washroom you can use to wash your face if you are coming from work/an event.
How much do procedures cost?
Unfortunately, we cannot give you a quote without a consultation as every individual will have a different treatment plan to address their concerns. Even Botox/dysport prices vary person to person because it changes based on the strength of your muscle, the locations treated, and your metabolism. We would love to set you up for a cosmetic consultation with one of our providers to better discuss costs and financing options – email us at office@premier-dermatology.com or call us at 650-551-9700 to schedule.
