Dermatology wait times have gotten out of hand. For many people, getting help for acne, eczema, or a stubborn rash can mean:
So it’s no surprise patients are turning to teledermatology for faster, more accessible care.
Dermatologists are in short supply in many areas, especially rural regions. This leads to long waitlists and delayed care. Teledermatology connects patients with licensed providers without location barriers — often in 24 hours or less.
Most common skin concerns can be accurately evaluated using clear photos and symptom questions. This makes dermatology especially suitable for virtual care.
Traditional dermatology visits can cost $150–$350+ per appointment. Teledermatology platforms typically offer flat, up-front pricing with no insurance required. This reduces major financial barriers to care.
Virtual platforms allow for easy messaging, refill requests, and progress photo tracking. This helps patients stay consistent — the most important factor in skin improvement.
Many patients feel anxious sitting in waiting rooms during a breakout or flare. Teledermatology lets patients receive care privately, from their own home.
Skin conditions affect more than appearance — they impact confidence, comfort, and daily life. Teledermatology makes high-quality care easier to access and more patient-friendly.

Feedback from our amazing patients!
"I can’t believe I did not know about this kind of service! This was absolutely perfect for my health concern and they were able to provide me with the necessary medication and with such cinch. Completely recommended this service. For minor health concerns, this can save you an unnecessary and costly trip to an urgent care center."
"Amazing!! Easy and fast! I didn’t have to take my 4 year old into an urgent care where only god knows what germs are there. The doctor sent the script right to my pharmacy within minutes!!!"
"I would give 10 stars if I could! CallonDoc is literally the reason I am recovering instead of suffering as I write this. I was skeptical at first, but I’m not kidding when I tell you I got prescribed my antibiotics and picked it up at the pharmacy within 2 hours. So instead of waiting & paying around 300$...I paid 40$!! I’m very pleased."
