- Primary Care1. Treatment. Our office will use and disclose your PHI to treat you. For example, we may ask you to have laboratory tests (such as blood or urine tests), and we may use the results to help us reach a diagnosis. We might use your PHI in order to write a prescription for you, or we might disclose your PHI to a pharmacy when we order a prescription for you. Many of the people who work for our office – including, but not limited to, our doctors and nurses – may use or disclose your PHI in order to treat you or to assist others such as hospitals, specialists, home health agencies or your primary care physician in your treatment. Additionally, we may disclose your PHI to others who may assist in your care, such as your spouse, children or parents.

- Mental HealthOur office is dedicated to maintaining the privacy of your protected health information (PHI). PHI is information about you, including demographic information, that may identify you and that relates to your past, present or future physical or mental health or condition and related health care services. In conducting our business, we will create records regarding you and the treatment and services we provide to you. Our privacy policies and procedures have long been in practice to maintain our patients’ confidentiality. These policies and procedures have evolved as the needs of technology and medical practices change. These policies and procedures as outlined in this Notice will continue to be monitored and may change when appropriate.
- Wound CareWhen your skin cancer is completely removed, the next step is to decide your best option for the post-operative wound. We will discuss with you the pros and cons of what we judge to be the best options. In some cases, allowing a wound to heal naturally (without sutures) will provide the best aesthetic and functional result in the long run. In other cases, suturing a wound can result in an almost undetectable long-term result. If you decide to have the wound sutured, generally the procedure is done the same afternoon at our clinic. The sutures are usually dissolvable. We will give you wound care instructions. Since we expect some drainage from the wound in the first several hours after procedure, we will apply an absorbent overnight dressing when you leave. Plan to take it easy after your procedure. There is usually not much discomfort afterwards, leading some to over-exert, which is unwise (swelling or bleeding may result). Acetominophen (Tylenol) is effective for any post-operative discomfort. Avoid aspirin (and other anticoagulants) for two days after surgery. Ice over the bandage is helpful both for any soreness and to minimize swelling.

- Laser ResurfacingIf you are looking for a subtle, natural way to appear more youthful, then look no further. Both Dr. Hultgren and Dr. Wolpert have special interest in anti-aging and perform procedures ranging from dermal filler injections to laser resurfacing. A combined approach targeting multiple facets of the aging process yields best results. For example, fillers treat the volume loss that occurs with natural aging and the effects of gravity. Neurotoxins such as Botox treat deeper lines and wrinkles on the face due to using our facial muscles. Lasers are utilized to target sun damage, redness and promote collagen production. Additional treatments in our spa such as microneedling and chemical peels improve skin texture and can treat pigmentation and acne scarring. Finally, a good skin care regimen is imperative to protect the skin from UV damage and improve skin texture. See our cosmetic services menu below for more information, and schedule a consultation with one of our cosmetic dermatologists today.

Psoriasis is caused by an overactive immune system and commonly presents as pink, thick plaques of skin on the elbows, knees, or scalp. The condition can worsen with stress or infections and often improves with sun exposure. Initial treatment often involves topical steroids but in more severe cases, oral or injectable medications may be necessary.
