Yes. Sound Dermatology is currently accepting new patients and welcomes individuals and families from Abilene and communities throughout North-central Kansas.

In most cases, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment. Patients are welcome to contact our office directly. However, some insurance plans may require a referral from a primary care provider. Patients should check with their insurance carrier if they are unsure.

• To help ensure your visit goes smoothly, please bring:
• A valid photo ID
• Your current insurance card, if using insurance
• Any relevant medical records, pathology reports, or previous biopsy results that have not already been provided to our office
• Your preferred form of payment

   

   

   

During your first visit, your provider will review your medical history and discuss your skin concerns. A focused skin examination will be performed, and your provider will discuss possible diagnoses and treatment options. If necessary, additional testing or procedures may be recommended.

New patients are encouraged to arrive 10–15 minutes before their scheduled appointment time to allow time for check-in and any necessary paperwork.

Established patients should plan to arrive a few minutes early to ensure a smooth check-in process.

If you are running late or need to reschedule your appointment, please contact our office as soon as possible.

Sound Dermatology evaluates and treats a wide range of dermatologic conditions, including:

• Acne

• Eczema

• Psoriasis

• Rashes and dermatitis

• Skin infections

• Warts

• Skin tags and other benign skin growths

• Suspicious moles and skin lesions

Yes. Skin biopsies can be performed in the office when necessary to help diagnose certain skin conditions or evaluate suspicious lesions. Your provider will explain the procedure and discuss what to expect before a biopsy is performed.

It may take up to four weeks for our office to receive the pathology results after a biopsy is performed. Once results are received, our office will contact you to discuss the findings and any recommended next steps.

Not all moles or skin lesions require a biopsy. During your visit, your provider will examine the area and determine whether a biopsy is necessary based on the appearance of the lesion and your medical history.

If a biopsy is recommended, the procedure can usually be performed in the office. The area is numbed with local anesthetic, and a small sample of skin is removed. When appropriate, the specimen is sent to a pathology laboratory for further evaluation.

Your provider will explain the procedure beforehand and answer any questions you may have.
