Dr. Dintiman has more than 30 years of experience in medical dermatology and cosmetic procedures. She prides herself on treating patients as individuals, offering a caring environment and the latest in research-based, innovative medicine.
She listens to what a patient is hoping to achieve – whether a small change to a problem area, such as crow’s feet, or a larger plan for overall anti-aging treatment – and recommends only vetted procedures that get results. She likes to discuss with patients the best and safest ways to achieve aesthetic goals from their perspective, so they become the best versions of themselves through their eyes, not her own. Her philosophy is to enhance and preserve unique beauty and attractiveness, not detract from it.
“Dermatology requires listening to and understanding your patients, as well as being committed to clinical medicine and cosmetic treatment,” Dr. Dintiman notes. “I’ve always believed some things don’t go out of style: being on the cutting edge of knowledge and skill, advocating for medical and cosmetic advancements and – most important – giving patients of all ages a truly care-based experience.”

"I woke up, out of town, with swollen and itchy eyes. This app was recommended to me so I downloaded it and found the steps easy to follow. I completed the questionnaire and sent 3 pictures of my face."
"This app was very easy to use and took no time at all to answer the questions and send pics. I used this app to successfully treat a nail fungus that I was unable to get rid of previously. I had tried multiple over the counter meds as well as prescription meds through another derm with no luck and it was always a hassle to get an appt. This was SO much more convenient and simple! Very straightforward treatment and messages from Dr. Dintman. The messages can also be sent to your email address, which was helpful. Will use again!"
"I used this app because I had a question about a mole and I struggle to find the time to go see a doctor unless absolutely necessary. It was really easy to sign up and go through the steps for submission!"

"I had a terrible rash and no time to go to the derm because I was on business travel. The push notifications made it easy for me to see that my case had been submitted and looked at! I had an answer and meds sent to the pharmacy within 6 hours! The doctor also sent me a message to see if I was getting better. Definitely give this a try! Beats going to the ER or waiting weeks for an appointment."
A DermUtopia online consultation with a board-certified dermatologist costs $79 per consultation within 72 hours and $99 within 24 hours. Our service is a qualified expense for health savings accounts (HSAs). Compare this with a typical in-office dermatologist visit, which can cost as much as $200 and can take months to schedule.
DermUtopia does not take insurance at this time, but we do provide the appropriate diagnosis and office visit codes. This means that you can submit your consultation to a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Health Savings Account (HSA) and/or insurance company. Increasingly, employers and health plans are adding telehealth as a benefit, but that does not guarantee that insurance companies will accept the submission. Check with your insurance provider to be sure.
Yes. Prescriptions from DermUtopia are the same as prescriptions from an in-person doctor visit. So, if you have insurance coverage for medications, then your prescription will be covered. We also send prescriptions to affordable compounding pharmacies, such as Skin Medicinal and Hair Stim.

Every patient is important to us, and therefore, we examine each online consultation thoroughly before submitting a response. The estimated wait time for a response is 48 hours.
Will I require an in-person visit?
If further evaluation or a biopsy is required, the dermatologist will advise you to make an in-person follow-up appointment with a local physician soon after the consultation.
In this case, we encourage all patients to schedule a follow-up visit with a local dermatologist or primary care physician between 30 and 60 days of the DermUtopia online consultation. The DermUtopia online consultation will be available as a PDF document for each patient to save, as well as take to a local doctor in order to keep medical records current and promote continuity of care.
In some cases, a live consultation will be recommended to better evaluate your skin problems. This live consultation can be scheduled and performed through a HIPAA-compliant live interactive site, at an additional cost.
Do I need to pay for a consultation if I only need prescription refills?
Yes, your initial consultation covers communication and treatment for 30 days. You will need to do a new visit and pay for follow-up. Look for promotional codes on our Facebook page and Instagram account.
Why It Works
With increased wait time for in-office visits, higher gas prices and reduced distribution of specialists throughout Virginia and Maryland, the founders of DermUtopia felt strongly that an innovative telehealth program was essential to offering dermatology care to patients in the metropolitan area.
Our reliable and secure application, along with other live-interactive programs, allow you to consult with a U.S. board-certified dermatologist anytime, anywhere. Just by downloading the app, snapping a picture of a concerning area of skin and uploading all photographs and patient medical history, patients can interact with a qualified and experienced dermatologist. It’s hassle-free, user-friendly, convenient, timely and often saves money, giving you more precious time to go about life normally, without disruptions.
This form should not be used to relay medical information. It is provided to send NON-MEDICAL QUESTIONS ONLY. All medical questions and information should be submitted after you download the DermUtopia app, register and submit your case on the HIPAA-compliant platform.
