Portland Dermatology Clinic Provides Patients with Online Access to Skin Care Information
Portland Dermatology Clinic, LLP of Portland, Oregon provides patients with convenient access to skin care resources to improve clinical care and patient satisfaction.
Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) July 1, 2009 -- Patients seeking skin care information go online, but would rather receive that information from the source they trust most, their own dermatologist.
Portland area dermatologists, Walt Larsen, M.D. and his colleagues at Portland Dermatology Clinic (http://dermatology.fromyourdoctor.com/oregon/portland/portlandderm/health/about-home.do ) have responded to their patients' needs by creating a web-based Patient Education Library. The Library provides patients with convenient online access to skin care resources that reflect the dermatologist's unique approach to care.
Dr. Larsen, a board certified dermatologist and Past President of the Oregon Dermatology Society, joins other Portland Area Dermatologists (http://www.fromyourdoctor.com/document/portland-dermatologists.html) who use the "From Your Doctor" patient education service from Vivacare Inc. With easy-to-use tools, physicians and office staff can easily create and customize their own practice-branded, patient education resource. Portland Dermatology provides their patients with access to over 100 handouts regarding a wide range of dermatology topics, including "Sun Protection" and "Botox and Dermal Fillers" as well as a list of recommended skin care products. Portland Dermatology also uses the service to deliver a monthly eNewsletter with practice news and skin care updates.
