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

Dr. David Horvath of Horvath Dermatology Associates in Bethel Park, Pa. 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 makes it more convenient than ever for patients to access DermatologistOnCall,” said Dr. Mark P. Seraly, board-certified dermatologist and DermatologistOnCall Founder.

To use the service, patients simply visit DermatologistOnCall.com 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. Online visits with DermatologistOnCall.com are a covered benefit for Highmark Commercial Insurance Members in Pennsylvania.

Dr. Horvath has practiced dermatology in Pittsburgh for more than 30 years. He is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology and a member of the St. Clair Hospital Staff. A graduate of North Allegheny High School, Dr. Horvath received his undergraduate degree at the University of Notre Dame. He graduated from Temple University School of Medicine and completed an internship in internal medicine at the Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. He finished a dermatology residency at the Medical College of Virginia.

“Today’s patients are seeking time savings whenever possible and in today’s digital world, it only makes sense to offer patients online visits through DermatologistOnCall,” said Dr. Horvath. “With DermatologistOnCall, fewer kids will have to miss school, fewer parents will miss work, in order to get a quick and accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for many conditions.”

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