Are There Low Cost Dermatologists?

Question

I'm wanting to get a mole on my face removed but I don't have insurance. Every place I've called costs $108 or more just for the examination-which doesn't include the removal itself plus any and all other costs. I'm losing all hope. HELP!!!

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Pricing for mole removal varies a lot from doc to doc but here are our pricing. The initial office visit is only $85 and the facial mole removal is $150 for shaving it flat or $250-350 to excise it depending on the size and location. Hope that helps. Sincerely,

As you will have to live with the results of this procedure for life, and it involves your body, I would suggest not looking for the least expensive dermatologist but one that you trust to provide the service.  I assume that the reason for removal is cosmetic.  Save your money or consider financing with either a credit card or Care Credit which will allow you to pay off the service over time.  Good luck!

Well, there are low cost everything these days, quite frankly, but that's not going to give you the best result, and since this is on your face.....I'd suggest you NOT try to go this route. There can be financing options like CareCredit, which you can pay over months or years at no interest, and have the procedure done. Or start squirreling some money away every week, month, etc. and when you have a few hundred dollars, see a good physician.
