Patient Resources
We Are Paperless
We all know that forms and paperwork are an important part of today’s healthcare environment. We have worked hard to make the process as easy as possible for all of our patients. At Santa Barbara Skin Care, all patient intake is done electronically (saving time and trees)! You can even pay your co-pay and/or any outstanding balance from your own personal device.
Mission Statement
True beauty starts from the inside and shines on the outside.
What To Expect
Being well-prepared for your appointment will ensure that the doctor has all of the needed information to provide the best possible care for you. It will also help alleviate any unnecessary anxiety you may be feeling prior to your first appointment. Educate yourself on your symptoms by reviewing the content on this Web site. Also, take some time to review our staff page and familiarize yourself with the doctors. We look forward to your first visit.

Before Your Visit
Prior to your visit, you will receive an appointment confirmation text or email from us. If this is your first visit, you will also be prompted to complete your new patient intake forms. Clicking the link to confirm your appointment will automatically lead you to complete your patient registration and prompt you through the entire process. It’s easy to fill out, and we will remember your answers for your next visit, so you only have to make necessary changes in the future.
Registering before your visit helps us serve you better and faster when you come into the office. We understand that sometimes it can be difficult to fill out forms on a mobile device or computer, which is why we do offer the option to do it on our iPads in the office. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to fill out your pre-visit information on our electronic iPads if you cannot complete it before your appointment.
Payment Options
We want everyone to have the beautiful skin they deserve, which is why we offer easy payment solutions. We accept payments by cash, debit cards and all major credit cards. We also participate with and are a preferred provider for most PPO insurance plans and Medicare, and as an added convenience, we will even file your claims for you! If you have any questions about insurance or payment, we will be glad to answer them when we return momentarily.
