The significant shortage of dermatologists makes the wait for a new patient appointment several months in some regions.
DERM ACCESS is the Seattle Skin Cancer Center's "Fast Track" pathway for prompt evaluation of potential skin cancers and suspicious skin lesions. You can see a skin cancer specialist shortly after making an appointment. If a biopsy is needed it can be performed at the same time. DermAccess is access to a dermatologist in timely manner for evaluation and treatment of a single suspicious skin growth. It is not for a complete skin examination or non-growth skin problems.
If you have a lesion you need evaluated immediately, call our front desk today at 206-215-3300 and state you need a DERM ACCESS appointment. You will be asked to identify the single site of concern. If needed, we can help coordinate care for additional skin concerns with your primary health care provider.
