Dermatology Clinics
To make an appointment, call Central Scheduling at (414) 607-5280 or toll-free (877) 607-5280.
Many different specialists are involved in treating the wide range of skin conditions. In addition, many treatment options are available. Children may be seen in the General Dermatology Clinic at Children's Hospital. They also may be seen in one of the other clinics, such as the Atopic Dermatitis Clinic, Dermatology-Oncology Clinic, Hemangioma of Infancy Clinic, Birthmarks and Vascular Anomalies Center, Surgery Clinic or Laser Clinic.
Separate clinics ensure children are seen by the most appropriate specialists. It also helps scheduling so patients are seen as quickly as possible.
What happens at a visit?
At the first clinic visit, patients are seen by a pediatric dermatologist who will record a detailed medical history and perform a physical exam. If needed, the patient may undergo treatment or blood tests.
After the medical history is reviewed and examination and test results are available, we will discuss a detailed plan of treatment with you. We try to complete this process at the first visit, which may take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the problem.
Patients are seen by a board-certified dermatologist. The pediatric dermatologists on staff at Children's Hospital also are on the faculty of the Medical College of Wisconsin. They work with and help train medical students as well as residents in dermatology and pediatrics. Since Children's Hospital is a teaching institution, these doctors in training may be involved with your care. The care they provide is supervised and coordinated by the faculty. |
