What Is a Virtual Dermatology Visit?
A virtual visit is a live video appointment with Dr. Sam Abaza, using the same clinical judgment he applies in the office, without the drive. It's built for the kind of care that doesn't require a hands-on exam: checking in on how a treatment is working, reviewing test or biopsy results, or getting a prescription refilled.
What Can Be Addressed in a Virtual Visit?
-
Acne follow-ups
-
Rash and skin irritation review
-
Prescription refills and check-ins
-
Results review
What Still Needs an In-Office Visit?
Some concerns need a hands-on exam to be evaluated properly. New or changing moles, growths, or anything that may require a biopsy or in-office procedure are better suited to a visit at our Diamond Bar or Anaheim Harbor office, where Dr. Abaza can examine the skin directly, with dermoscopy when needed.
Who Can Book a Virtual Visit?
Virtual visits are available to patients who are physically located in California at the time of the appointment. This follows state medical licensing rules for where a physician can practice by telehealth.

Bottom Line
Virtual Visits Bring Dr. Abaza's Care to the Concerns That Don't Require a Hands-On Exam
The case for a virtual visit comes down to which concerns actually need to be seen in person. Acne follow-ups, rash and irritation reviews, prescription refills, and results discussions don't require Dr. Abaza's hands on the skin, so patients get the same clinical judgment from wherever they are in California, without a drive to Diamond Bar or Anaheim. It's not a replacement for the in-office exam that moles, growths, and procedures still need. It's the option for everything else, matched to the visit that actually fits the concern.
