Medical Appointments

Referral for medical appointments with the Dermatologist

A referral is required for all new patients.

There are several common medical skin conditions treated at The Derm Centre that include:

• Acne
• Psoriasis
• Rosacea
• Skin Cancer/Mole Checks

If you are concerned about a medical skin condition and need to see Dr. Taraska, please have your family physician send a referral to our office.

Important to note that all medical skin conditions require a referral letter from your family physician or walk in clinic before Dr. Taraska can consider you as a patient or provide a medical consultation. After we receive the referral from your Physician, you will be contacted with an appointment date and time and the appointment will be covered by your Provincial Health Insurance (ie Manitoba Health).

Dr. Taraska will not be accepting new patients for cosmetic mole removal at this time.

Our family physicians who do not require a referral, Dr. Glover and Dr. Patel will be accepting for cosmetic mole removal for lesions no larger than 4mm.
