What to expect from your appointment

The clinic has longer appointments to provide more time with you and your support persons (for example parents, 保健助理, 或支援人员). We may contact you before the appointment to discuss an adaptive care plan. Specialists from the 儿童生活计划 will be available if needed.

We will examine your skin and review your health history and outside records. So that we can best look at the skin, you will likely have to change into a gown. We will work with you to make this a positive experience.

We will create a personalized treatment plan based on your history and physical examination. 除了, we will take time to discuss daily routines to determine how to make a treatment plan successful.

Although not common, we will sometimes need blood work or a biopsy of the skin. We will work with you and Child Life team members to make this a positive experience.
