Ronald C. Knipe, MD Dermatology with Excellence

SERVICE CHANGES DUE TO COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

CURRENT COVID-19 UPDATE
Due to the widespread outbreak of COVID-19, the CDC and Governor Ron DeSantis have recommended the closure of all nonessential medical offices and the discontinuation of all medical procedures not deemed to be emergent or life threatening. In compliance with this mandate, and to be responsible to our patients, staff, providers, and the community, Knipe Dermatology is closed until April 17, 2020. This date may change due to recommendations from the CDC, federal, state, and local governments. We will update this website as necessary to keep everyone informed.
Our providers will be available for urgent or emergent dermatology problems. This will be determined on an individual basis.
  • We will continue to provide critical care during the next weeks. All appointments and procedures will focus on restoring health, alleviating pain and discomfort, and preventing the worsening of any serious medical/surgical condition.
  • If you feel you have an urgent need, please call the office at 407-581-2888 and follow the directions on the recording. A provider will determine the best course of action.
  • We will attempt to provide as much evaluation and treatment as possible by telemedicine. If it is necessary for you to come to the office, an appointment time will be provided, and we will try to ensure there are no more than 1-2 patients in the office at any time. We will also minimize our staff to 1 or 2 providers and 1 or 2 nurses as needed. We will make every effort to minimize everyone’s exposure.
  • All other non-emergent and routine follow-up appointments will be rescheduled at a later date when it is deemed safe to resume normal business hours.
  • We will continue to provide medication refills. Your pharmacy can send its usual request to the office and they will be evaluated once daily from Monday-Friday.
We thank you for your understanding and patience during this time of crisis. With everyone’s help, it will hopefully pass quickly. Until then, please continue to practice social distancing, following CDC and government guidelines, and love one another.

Warm Regards,
Knipe Dermatology

Orlando Dermatologist

We specialize in dermatological surgery, including the treatment of skin cancers,
and non-cancerous growths, as well as treating a wide range of general dermatological skin conditions.  We’ll be glad to answer all questions and concerns when we meet you here in person.
Doctor Knipe reminds you that an unusual appearing mole could be a MELANOMA, a dangerous form of skin cancer.

Evaluating your moles every one to two months is an appropriate time frame to see if any have changed in size, color, shape or if any other irregularity has developed. The A-B-C-D-E's of MELANOMA are a good way of evaluating suspicious moles.
"A" stands for Asymmetry, "B" stands for borders. "C" stands for color, "D" for diameter and "E" stands for evolution. Please keep these in mind when examining your moles. We can help with the removal of moles.

The Sunshine State and Your Skin

Here in Florida, we enjoy an abundance of sunshine. Although the effects of the sun are often delayed 10 to 40 years, there are many precautions that can reduce sun damage. If you enjoy outdoor activities, consider doing them before 10 a.m. or after 3 p.m. when the ultraviolet rays are significantly less.

Wide-brimmed hats are also extremely useful in protecting the ears and face, and using a sunscreen with an S-P-F of at least 30 on a regular basis will significantly reduce your overall sun exposure.
Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes before your sun exposure and reapplied every two hours. We will be happy to go over these and your other concerns when we see you.
