Refer a Patient
Thank you for trusting us with your patient’s care.
We value our partnerships with referring providers and are committed to serving as an extension of your team. Whether through clinical research opportunities or specialized dermatology care in clinic, we strive to provide patients with personalized, comprehensive support.
Participating in a clinical research study can provide patients with access to comprehensive study-related care at no cost, advanced treatment options, and an opportunity to contribute to future medical advancements.
To refer a patient, select Current Studies below and review our available research opportunities. If one of our studies may be a good fit for your patient, select Study Details and complete an application form for the study on their behalf. Under the How Did You Hear About Us section, please select “I Am a Provider Referring My Patient.” A member of our care team will contact them directly to discuss eligibility and answer any questions they may have.
Thank you for your referral!
Dermatology Clinic Referrals
Our dermatology clinic is currently accepting new patients! If you have a patient to refer to us, please fax us pertinent chart notes detailing the reason with description (size, appearance, differential diagnosis) along with the patient’s demographics to (503) 223-9561. Once received, your referral will be reviewed by one of our referral coordinators and we will reach out directly to your patient.
Nail Clinic Referrals
Our nail clinic is currently only accepting new patients by referral from another healthcare provider, preferably a dermatologist. If you are a healthcare provider and would like to refer a patient with a complex nail condition to Dr. Rich, please fax the referral, all pertinent chart notes, and patient demographics to (503) 223-9561 and our referral coordinator will review the case.
Please note that Dr. Rich typically only sees cases of complex nail diseases and tumors growing underneath nails, both benign and malignant. She does not see patients for more common nail conditions such as brittle nails (ridging or breaking, thinning) and onychomycosis (nail fungal infections), as these can usually be treated by another dermatologist, and she prefers to save her attention for more complex nail cases.
Please note that If you are referring a patient to us and onychomycosis is in the differential, it needs to be ruled out by a fungal culture (such as a PCR) prior to us reviewing the case. If the culture is positive for dermatophyte, the treatment course can be completed through your office.
We look forward to helping your patient with their nail problem!
If you have any questions about referring a patient to our office, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
