Patient & Visitor Guide

Welcome to the Patient/Visitor Guide for Emory Dermatology. We hope the following information is useful to your visits to see us.

Patient Registration

Before your first appointment with a physician from the Dermatology Section,  we request that you obtain medical records from your other health care providers and bring them with you, if possible.

This will help us to expedite your appointment and ensure that we have the appropriate information needed to provide the best advice possible during your initial consultation.

First Visit

You may make an appointment with a physician from the Dermatology Section of The Emory Clinic by contacting us directly or through a referral from your primary care physician.  Because of great demand for our speciality services and limited numbers of physicians with the unique expertise required to provide these services, we may not be able to immediately schedule an appointment.

In order to facilitate the appointment process, it would be helpful for you to send any reference notes from your physician and test results, such as previous skin biopsy and laboratory results, if applicable. You should also bring this information to your initial evaluation.

Please fax this information to 404-778-3337 or please send to the following address:

The Emory General Medicine and Dermatology Division
Emory Department of Dermatology: Building A
1356 Clifton Road
Atlanta, GA 30322

You should also bring medical history information, a list of your current medications and your insurance card. Many dermatologic conditions are covered by most insurance carriers and in most cases, you can be seen and the visit is covered without getting a referral. However, you should check with your insurance provider about your particular options before making an appointment. Patients whose insurance requires a referral prior to being seen will not be evaluated without a referral.
