What is a Dermatology IME?

An Independent Medical Examination (IME) is a professional evaluation conducted by a dermatologist who is not the patient's treating physician. These examinations are often requested by attorneys, insurance companies, or employers to assess conditions related to workers' compensation, personal injury litigation, disability claims, or insurance disputes. My dermatology IME services focus on delivering objective, evidence-based reports tailored to your needs.
