Berkeley, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/28/2011 -- DiPreta Dermatology now offers practical health information on its Website that supports the needs of its patients and members of the Laurel community. With offices in four different location across Georgia, DiPreta Dermatology is a comprehensive dermatology practice, providing full range of medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatologic services for all skin types.

Surveys have shown that U.S. adults frequently search online for health information, but are frustrated by the large volume of information they find from questionable sources. A majority of health consumers state that they would prefer to get that information directly from their own doctor. Unfortunately, a majority of physicians report finding it difficult to provide education during an office visit and most medical practice Websites lack health information.

DiPreta Dermatology understands the importance of patient education (http://www.vivacare.com) and has taken measures to improve clinical care and patient satisfaction. It now provides its patients with convenient, online access to educational resources on its own practice Website.

The physicians of DiPreta Dermatology join other dermatologists (http://www.findadermatologist.com) who use the “From Your Doctor” service from Vivacare to manage their patient education content.

The physicians and staff at DiPreta Dermatology (http://dipretadermatology.weebly.com/resources.html) show their commitment to patient care by making health information available online regarding the conditions they treat (acne, skin infections, eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer), the procedures they perform (Lumenis Laser Hair Removal, Dysport, Mohs Surgery), and the medications they prescribe.
