SMA: Skin Lesion Clinic
A Shared Medical Appointment (SMA) may give you the chance to see a doctor sooner than the next available regular appointment. Although visits are held in a group setting, there’s a private exam room available for personal questions or concerns.
The Skin Lesion Clinic is a good option for many people, especially those who:
- Need to be seen quickly, such as same-day appointment.
- Need a quick follow-up for one to three noncontagious lesions to be checked or treated.
- Need a quick acne cyst injection.
- Feel comfortable in a group setting.
The Skin Lesion Clinic is NOT a good option for patients who:
- Need a language translator.
- Have more than three different lesions or rashes.
- Need a full skin check.
- May have a contagious condition (rash, fever or draining wound).
Location: Palo Alto Medical Foundation, Bay Area
