The direct care model
The Benefits of Direct Care Dermatology
Direct care is a simple, transparent alternative to traditional insurance-based medicine. You pay a flat rate directly to your provider — no middlemen, no surprise bills, no prior authorizations.
Request an Appointment
In a traditional dermatology practice, your provider spends a significant portion of each visit on insurance documentation, coding, and billing — time that should be spent on you. Direct care eliminates that friction entirely.
At Shoreline Dermatology, you pay $150 per medical dermatology visit. That's it. No co-pays, no deductibles, no surprise bills. Maria can focus entirely on your care.

Appointment availability
We can usually see you this week
One of the advantages of direct care is availability. Because we're not overbooked by insurance-driven volume, we can typically schedule new and returning patients within the same week — often sooner. No months-long wait lists, no referral runaround. Just prompt, attentive care when you need it.
