Consent to Treat Minors

For some families, it may be convenient to have preauthorization in place that allows medical care to be delivered to minors if the parent or guardian cannot be present. If you would like to have such a preauthorization in place, please review and complete this form for your child in advance. *This form only applies to established patients - a parent or guardian must be present at the first visit, then it is up to the discretion of an SSDP physician whether a child is able to come to subsequent visits unaccompanied.

Medical Record Release Authorization

If you have previously seen another dermatologist, or one of our dermatologists in a different practice, please provide us with your medical record. Download the release authorization and send the completed form to your previous dermatologist’s office for your medical record to be shared with SSDP. Your medical record should be mailed to: 

South Shore Dermatology Physicians
31 Roche Bros. Way, Suite 200
N. Easton, MA  02356

Prescription Refills

Please request your prescription refills at the time of your visit. If a refill is needed between visits, please call our office during regular business hours with the following:

• Your name and birthdate

• Name and phone number of your pharmacy

• Medication needed

• Number of pills taken each day and strength of each dose

• If the medication needed is a cream or a lotion, please include the number of times each day the medication is applied and the strength of the medication

Please allow up to 48 hours for your refill request to be completed.

We may not be able to provide a prescription refill between visits if you have not seen one of our physicians for more than six-to-12 months. Many medications require careful follow-up and monitoring for potential side effects, and this policy is in place to protect you.
