Emory Healthcare is the largest health care system in the state of Georgia. Emory Healthcare is a multidisciplinary academic medical organization comprising six hospitals, the Emory Clinic, and more than 200 provider locations.
For more information about our clinic, please visit the Emory Dermatology Clinic.
We utilize the Emory My Chart Patient Portal to manage patients in-between visits and encourage you to obtain a login prior to or just after completing your first clinic visit.
Once you have access then you will be able to send or receive information related to visits, medications, laboratory results.
We also encourage you to visit our web videos (below) which have been created to answer some of the most common questions about these diseases. Also, there are educational materials related to the care of your skin and mucous membranes.
In some cases, you will be asked to visit with one of our other departments at Emory. We work closely with the Departments of:
to address some of the unique aspects of your disease including potentially repeating biopsies, which may require a multidisciplinary effort.
This referral process can be arranged after your initial visit. If you already have a specialist who is assisting with your care please make this information known to our team.
Subsequent Visits
If you already have a defined diagnosis then your treatment will most likely begin shortly after your initial visit depending on the necessity of critical blood work.
It will be important for you to work with our team to find out the most convenient place for you to have repeat blood work done.
Blood work will typically be done more frequently in the beginning but will be less burdensome once the appropriate medications and dosing are determined.
In addition, your primary care physician will be a critical link for you to help manage some of the potential side effects of some of the medications especially if you live a long distance from Atlanta.
