The Dermatology Clinic at David Grant USAF Medical Center is a small clinic with a wide range of capabilities. Our courteous and professional staff include:
- Two Staff Board Certified Dermatologists
- Three trained medical technicians
- One Receptionist/Admin Clerk
The role that the Dermatology Clinic plays in the healthcare provided at DGMC is to provide support to the four main patient care clinics (Primary Care Clinic, Internal Medicine Clinic, Family Practice Clinic, and Flight Medicine Clinic). Patients are referred to our services after their Primary Care Manager (PCM) team has seen them and have determined that their condition warrants treatment or specialist's review. This clinic does not provide definitive or comprehensive healthcare beyond conditions affecting the skin.
Our Services:
- Diagnosis of challenging skin condition or lesions
- Treatment of difficult rashes
- Skin cancer treatments
- Phototherapy for extensive psoriasis
- Laser therapy of vascular birthmarks
- Iontophoresis (hands and feet)
Services that are not routinely offered:
- Tattoo Removal
- Laser hair removal
- Removal of benign lesions (skin tags and non-cancerous moles)
- Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (PFB)
- Vein treatments
- Melasma treatment
- Treatment of common skin conditions that can be managed by PCM
NEW PATIENT REFERRAL INFORMATION
Who we see: We see all active duty and retired military members and their beneficiaries of all ages. However, we are a specialty clinic, therefore we can only see patients that have been referred by their Primary Care Manager or Clinic which they are empanelled. Due to our limited staff and the high number of new referrals requests that come to our clinic, appointments to our clinic may be booked beyond one month from the date of the referral request or may be referred to a dermatology clinic off-base.
Patient Instructions: Please arrive 15 minutes prior to appointment. We follow DGMC's No-Show policy and reserve the right to cancel a patient's appointment if they are greater than 15 minutes late from their appointment time. All initial visits to the Dermatology Clinic will receive a full skin exam, therefore, changing into a gown is required. Some skin conditions will require full skin examinations for future follow-up appointment (e.g. Psoriasis, Dermatitis, personal history of skin cancer, etc).
General Administrative Information: All initial appointments are generally booked through DGMC's
Referral Management Office. All follow-up appointments can be made at the Dermatology Clinic's front desk or patients may call (707) 423-5105. If you don't receive a call from the Referral Management Office to book your initial appointment, please call the Dermatology Clinic's front desk. Messages can be left at this line and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
