Certainly, there are ample parking options available conveniently situated right in front of our office, which is conveniently located on the ground floor..

We kindly recommend arriving 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to ensure a smooth and unhurried experience.

Check-In:
Upon entering the clinic, a warm welcome awaits you at the reception desk. To streamline the process and minimize paperwork, you will be provided with an iPad to complete the patient registration and sign necessary forms. As part of our policy, we keep a credit card on file to facilitate a seamless experience.

Appointment with Dr. Paul:
Ensuring your comfort and thorough understanding of your concerns is our priority. To enhance the consultation, having any previous photos related to your skin condition and details about prior treatments you may have undergone would be immensely beneficial. While we strive to address your primary concerns during the appointment, if you have multiple skin issues, we may need to schedule a separate session for additional matters or procedures. Our commitment is to provide a comprehensive and unrushed consultation while respecting your valuable time.

Check-Out:
As your appointment concludes, we are here to assist you in scheduling any necessary follow-ups or, if you’re interested, arranging a cosmetic consultation. Please feel free to explore our curated skincare collection featuring cleansers, moisturizers, serums, eye creams, and sunscreens—a thoughtful selection to complement your skincare journey.

We require all patients to have a valid credit card on file with Balanced Skin Dermatology and Aesthetics. Credit cards are stored securely in a Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant payment gateway.

The credit card on file is charged for no show fees (described below) or for outstanding balance due following receipt of any applicable insurance payments in connection with healthcare services rendered by Balanced Skin Dermatology and Cosmetics if payment is not received 30 days from the date of first statement.

We deeply value your understanding and cooperation in respecting our scheduling commitments, ensuring that our services remain accessible to all our patients.
If you find the need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, kindly provide us with a minimum of 24 business hours’ notice for regular appointments or 48 business hours for surgical/cosmetic procedures. For instance, if you have a regular appointment scheduled for Monday at 9 AM, we appreciate being notified by the preceding Friday before 9 AM.

This advance notice allows us the opportunity to extend the appointment slot to another patient, particularly those on our urgent waitlist. For any no-shows, cancellations, or reschedules with less than 24 business hours’ notice, a $75 fee will be applied.

In our commitment to transparency regarding billing and financial practices, we ensure that the process is clear and straightforward for our valued patients.

For self-pay patients or those seeking cosmetic procedures, payment is conveniently collected at the time services are provided, ensuring a seamless transaction.

For patients covered by insurance plans in which we participate (including Medicare and select PPOs such as Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California), we strive to streamline the process. However, navigating the intricacies of the U.S. healthcare system can be complex, and we recommend a comprehensive understanding of how insurance processes operate.

To facilitate a smooth experience, we collect your co-pay during the appointment, and subsequently bill your insurance company for the services rendered. It is essential to note that insurance companies exhibit variability, and the amount they cover is contingent on specific plans. Unfortunately, due to the multitude of plans and the dynamic nature of insurance processing, we cannot determine precise pricing in advance. The actual amount often only becomes apparent once the insurance claim has been submitted and processed.

For a more accurate pricing estimate, we encourage you to reach out to your insurance company and we are happy to provide appropriate codes. It is important not to assume that your insurance will cover the entire visit or all associated procedures, as factors such as deductibles (meaning the amount your insurance needs you to pay before they start paying) can influence coverage. Should you wish to gain better clarity on pricing or have specific concerns, our third-party billing company is available to address your questions. Please feel free to contact us, and we will facilitate the necessary connections. Your understanding and cooperation are highly appreciated as we navigate the complexities of the insurance landscape together.
