Enhanced Technology for Even Better Patient Outcomes
We're celebrating our one-year anniversary utilizing the #1 Dermatology EHR System, Modernizing Medicine®’s (ModMed) EMA®! This cloud-based EHR system was designed just for dermatologists by practicing dermatologists.

At the beginning of 2022, we invested heavily in this important upgrade to further improve our workflow, patient experiences, and outcomes. Our daily tasks have been elevated as EMA adapts to each provider’s unique style of practice and produces notes, codes exams and procedures, ePrescribes, orders labs, print pathology reqs, and more for even greater efficiency. This award-winning EHR system provides us with the best in diagnostic and treatment power. We hope our patients already see and feel what a difference an upgrade makes!
Avoid Chapped Hands this Winter and Year-Round
During winter months, the dry air causes moisture to evaporate from the top layer of your skin faster than usual. Slathering on moisturizer before your hands even get dry is pro Tip #1. If you make it a habit to apply moisturizer throughout the day, it will help strengthen the skin’s barrier to avoid dry, chapped, cracked hands.

Tip #2: Switch to cream. Although lotions feel lighter on the skin, we recommend switching to a cream for added hydration. A thick hand cream with an occlusive, like shea butter or petrolatum, locks moisture in and forms a protective barrier. When the weather isn't as dry, you might opt for a lotion with a thinner consistency. We recommend CeraVe Moisturizing Cream ($17, before tax) or Vanicream ($19, before tax).

Tip #3: Always apply moisturizer after washing your hands. Although frequent washing is good for preventing colds and the flu, it can also wreak havoc on skin’s moisture balance.

Tip #4: To keep hands really soft, treat them to a mini spa in the evening, at least once a week. Use a thick hand cream and wear cotton gloves for better absorption. Keep on as you sleep - and wake up to significantly softer hands.

If you still have challenges with dry skin after you try these tips, schedule an appointment with your Medical Provider. By preventing dry skin before it starts, you can keep your hands soft and healthy throughout the year.
The Game Changing Hydrator We Can't Get Enough Of
Tired of dry skin? We can relate. Winter is harsh on skin, bringing on changes in humidity and temperature that create perfect conditions for causing dry skin. When patients say they "can't find anything" to hydrate, we're quick to recommend Avène Hydrance Aqua-Gel because we're already hooked.

This is a game changer and it's under $40 (before tax). Gentle to the skin's protective barrier, it can be used as a daily moisturizer, overnight mask and along the eye contour. Get dewy skin that's intensely hydrated and smooth. We encourage patients of all skin types to try it out themselves for instantly healthier, happier winter skin!
