Dr. Kimberly Rau Joins DermatologistOnCall(R), Providing Online Dermatological Care to Patients in Pennsylvania

Dr. Kimberly Rau of Skin Logic Dermatology in Allison Park joins DermatologistOnCall, a growing network of board-certified dermatologists nationwide, providing patients with dermatological care using a smartphone, tablet or computer.

With a shortage of board-certified dermatologists in the U.S., some patients wait up to three months or longer for in-office appointments. Additionally, of the more than 100 million dermatological conditions and diseases diagnosed each year in the U.S., only 35 million are treated by board-certified dermatologists, while 65 million are treated by primary care physicians, walk-in medical providers or via over-the-counter medications. Powered by Iagnosis, DermatologistOnCall, the nation’s leader in online dermatology, connects patients online to board-certified dermatologists.

“Our website application and new mobile app make it more convenient than ever for patients to access DermatologistOnCall, especially in today’s digital age,” said Dr. Mark P. Seraly, board-certified dermatologist and DermatologistOnCall Founder. “Kids don’t have to miss school and parents won’t miss work to initiate an online visit for a variety of conditions like acne, rosacea, psoriasis, or suspicious moles.”

The DermatologistOnCall patient app, developed and powered by Iagnosis, is available in the iTunes App Store or the Google Play Store or through a link at www.DermatologistOnCall.com.

To use the service, patients simply visit DermatologistOnCall.com or use the company’s new mobile app to provide a brief medical history, information about their condition and upload photos. After review, the dermatologist provides a diagnosis, comprehensive treatment plan including necessary prescriptions within 24 hours on average. When medically necessary, the patient will be referred for an in-office visit. Among the more than 3,000 conditions for which patients access the system are acne, dermatitis, eczema, rosacea, shingles, melanoma and other skin cancers.

Dr. Rau is board certified in Dermatology and a fellow in the American Academy of Dermatology since 2002. She is also an associate in the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery, and member of both the Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania Academies of Dermatology. Dr. Rau has a special interest in laser and light based therapies for conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and skin cancer. She is a graduate of Saint Mary’s, Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and earned a Master’s degree and Medical Doctorate from Georgetown University School of Medicine.

“Joining the DermatologistOnCall network allows me to offer more convenience to my patients,” said Dr. Rau. “Knowing that I can provide a diagnosis and treatment plan to my patients with routine conditions in as little as 24 hours is not only great for individuals using the service, but it also frees up space and time for more serious cases requiring an in-office visit.”

Dr. Seraly added, “We are very excited to add Dr. Rau to our network, allowing us to provide service to more and more U.S. consumers.”
