Dermatology built around clear decisions.

Simple and direct.
Medication, laboratory testing, pharmacy charges, and future visits are separate.
Common questions.
- How is this different from Thea asynchronous care?
- Thea asynchronous care is designed for convenient management of many straightforward concerns, primarily through topical treatment. The comprehensive consultation is a separate live visit directly with Dr. Shaikh for patients seeking greater depth, oral treatment discussion, or continuity.
- Can oral medication or isotretinoin be discussed?
- Yes. Oral medication, isotretinoin, and compounded treatment may be discussed when clinically appropriate. The consultation does not guarantee a specific prescription.
- Do you accept insurance?
- The direct consultation is cash-pay. A superbill may be provided for patients who wish to seek possible out-of-network reimbursement.
