Patient Resources

One of our primary goals for all patients who choose our Rochester dermatology practice is ensuring a positive experience. We start even before your first visit by providing you with information and other resources you can review and complete at home. On this page, you can find information about financing the cost of cosmetic dermatology procedures not covered by health insurance and links to documents you can download, complete, and bring to your appointment.

We value your time and hope that providing these resources can enhance your experience at Dermatology Associates of Rochester. If you haven’t scheduled a consultation or appointment yet, you can request a consultation using the online form or give us a call at (585) 272-0700, and our staff will assist you in scheduling an appointment.
