Concerned About a Mole, Rash, or Skin Change? Dermatology Care Is Available at Balance Medical

As dermatology wait times continue to impact patients across the Bismarck area, many people are left waiting months for appointments or unsure where to turn for ongoing skin concerns.

At Balance Medical, dermatology-focused care is already available locally, with appointments typically available within weeks rather than months.

Patients commonly schedule visits for concerns such as:

• New or changing moles
• Persistent rashes
• Acne
• Annual skin checks
• Hair loss
• Eczema and other chronic skin conditions

Dermatology-focused evaluations at Balance Medical are performed by Maren Dockter, PA-C, a University of North Dakota-trained clinician with focused experience in dermatology. She is trained in dermatoscopy, a specialized technique used to evaluate skin lesions and concerning moles more closely.

Balance Medical manages many common dermatologic concerns in-office, including acne, eczema, rashes, hair loss, skin checks, mole evaluations, and biopsies. When additional specialty care is needed, the practice is also typically able to help coordinate local or regional referral appointments within about one month.

“Moles, rashes, annual skin checks, these are concerns patients should not have to wait months to address,” said Dr. Rhonda Schafer-McLean of Balance Medical. “Our goal is to provide patients with timely local access to care while also helping guide them through next steps if additional specialty treatment is needed.”

More Than Dermatology Care

In addition to dermatology-focused services, Balance Medical offers comprehensive women’s health services including gynecology, gyn surgery, primary care, menopause care, and medical weight management.

Balance Medical Skin also provides a complete laser suite along with a full range of aesthetic injectables and skin rejuvenation services.

The goal is to provide patients with a more connected and accessible experience where medical care, skin health, wellness, and aesthetics can all be addressed under one roof.
