Welcome to Dermatology & Laser Center of Chapel Hill

DLC is OPEN for Telemedicine Visits!

Due to recommendations to limit the spread of COVID-19, I have transitioned my dermatology practice from in-person to telemedicine visits for the time being. I feel strongly that I need to do my part as a physician during this crisis to not overburden our medical system with dermatologic concerns that we can manage using telemedicine.

We are utilizing an easy-to-use telemedicine platform to manage both new and ongoing dermatologic problems. We are able to offer these services to both new and established patients. Please contact us to make a telemedicine appointment by either emailing us at contact@dlcofchapelhill.com or texting our office phone number 919-942-2922.

We hope to reschedule in-person appointments in May. Should we resume normal office operations sooner than May, we will contact you and convert your telemedicine appointment to an in-office visit.

Thank you for your continued trust and confidence in DLC.

Chris G. Adigun, MD, FAAD

How to Prepare for your Telemedicine Visit

Please text or call our office at (919)-942-2922 to see if your concern is a matter that we can help you with remotely. DLC will file your insurance or bill you directly for telemedicine services. 

BEFORE YOUR VISIT:

• Take photos – the more the better! If possible, have someone at home help you take high quality images on your mobile device. 5-10 images of the problem or concern are helpful.
• Describe your concern: When did it start? Where is it located? Is it constant or does it come and go? What is the concern like, i.e., bumpy, red, itchy, painful, bleeding, brown, etc. Does anything make it better or worse? Have you tried any home treatments? Is the problem mild, moderate, or severe?
• Do you have any changes in your medications and allergies? If you are a new patient, we need to know all medications/supplements you take and if you have any allergies to medications.
