Phototherapy on site, plus systemic and biologic options with insurance prior-authorisation handled by our team.

Skin Cancer Screening

Full-body mole mapping with digital dermoscopy. Same-week biopsy, pathology back in three to five days.

What Patients Say

Reviews from Boulder patients

Collected on Google and Healthgrades. We publish them as written.

“Dr. Reyes found a melanoma on my back that two other doctors had called a freckle. Biopsy on the Tuesday, excision the following week. I do not say this lightly — she caught it in time.”

Marianne K.Boulder, CO Google

“Fifteen years of eczema and nobody had ever patch tested me. Turned out to be a preservative in my own shampoo. Clear in six weeks after changing two products.”

Devin R.Louisville, CO Healthgrades

“My daughter's acne plan was written down with the cost of every prescription on it. No upselling, no packages. The front desk handled the insurance approval without me chasing it.”

Common Questions

Before your first visit

Still not sure?

Our front desk answers clinical-logistics questions directly — insurance, referrals, what to bring, how long results take.

Call (303) 555-0184
Do I need a referral?

Not for most plans. PPO and Medicare patients can book directly. A handful of HMO plans do require a referral from your primary care provider — call us and we will check your plan before you come in.

How soon can I be seen?

New medical patients are usually seen within six business days. If you or your doctor is concerned about a changing mole, tell us when you book — we hold urgent lesion slots every morning.

What should I bring to a full skin exam?

Your insurance card, a list of current medications, and no makeup or nail polish. Wear something easy to change out of; you will be in a gown for the exam.

How long does a biopsy result take?

Three to five business days. You get a call either way — we do not leave patients waiting on a letter — and results are posted to the patient portal the same day we receive them.

Are cosmetic treatments covered by insurance?

No. Cosmetic work is self-pay and quoted in writing before you agree to it. Medical dermatology — acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin cancer — is billed to your plan.

Do you treat children?

Yes, from age two. Paediatric eczema, birthmarks, warts, molluscum and acne are a regular part of the clinic week.
