We participate with select insurance plans for medical, surgical, and pediatric visits. Participation varies by plan and network, and it is your responsibility to confirm coverage with your insurer. Cosmetic treatments and skincare are self-pay. Please see our insurance page for the current list of plans.
Most patients do not. PPO plans generally let you book directly. We do not accept HMO patients. If you are unsure what your plan requires, please check with your insurer before booking.
Medical dermatology treats conditions that affect your health, such as acne, eczema, rashes, and skin cancer screenings, and is typically billed to insurance. Cosmetic care, including Botox®, fillers, peels, laser treatments, and PRP, is elective and self-pay.
If your child has a rash that won't clear, eczema that's keeping them up at night, or a birthmark you want a specialist's read on, we see kids regularly. Whether you're a new parent unsure if this needs a doctor or a veteran who's been through it before, you can book the same kind of appointment you'd book for yourself.

Pigmented skin behaves differently, and our team treats it that way. We care for melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, keloids, traction alopecia, and more — expertise deepened by Dr. Patterson's clinical work in Northwestern's Center for Ethnic Skin and Hair.
