CLARK, N.J., April 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Metropolitan Dermatology, a leading dermatology practice with locations throughout New Jersey and New York, is expanding patient services to include telemedicine as a solution to these trying times. Now new and existing patients may be seen in virtual visits by our Board Certified dermatologists and Physician Assistants from the comfort and convenience of their own homes. "If you have a smart phone, tablet or laptop, you can immediately begin working with a member of our team who will be able to evaluate, diagnose and treat many common conditions remotely," says Dr. Alex Doctoroff, founder and CEO of Metropolitan Dermatology. "For patients with psoriasis, allergic conditions, acne, rosacea, eczema, and many other ailments, our providers can prescribe medications over the internet. Many area pharmacies are now delivering medications right to your door, obviating the need for patients to leave home". Urgent in-person visits are still available in our Clark, Kearny, South Plainfield, Staten Island, Vineland and West New York locations to help keep ERs and urgent care facilities accessible to those with acute needs.

It is of top priority to all of our providers to continue offering dermatological care during this moment of uncertainty. Video visits serve the entire community in the crucial effort of social distancing. "The safety and well being of our patients and staff is our singular focus," says Dr. Doctoroff.

Appointments, including those for immediate, same day needs, may be booked on metropolitanderm.com.
