Every person deserves timely access to expert dermatologic care, regardless of where they live.
Unfortunately, for many individuals living in rural and underserved communities, seeing a dermatologist can mean months of waiting, hours of driving, missed work, or simply going without care altogether. Many conditions that could be diagnosed and treated quickly continue to worsen because specialty care is difficult to access.
My Virtual Dermatology was created to help change that.
Founded by Nicole Gentile, PA-C, My Virtual Dermatology combines more than 15 years of clinical dermatology experience with a passion for improving healthcare access through technology, collaboration, and compassionate patient care. Rather than replacing traditional dermatology practices, our goal is to complement them by helping patients receive the right care, in the right setting, at the right time.
Virtual dermatology can successfully diagnose and manage many common skin conditions while allowing patients who need biopsies, surgical procedures, skin cancer treatment, or comprehensive in-person examinations to be connected with local dermatology practices. By improving this flow of care, we hope to reduce unnecessary travel, shorten wait times, and help preserve in-person appointments for patients who need them most.
Our Philosophy
Great dermatology is about more than treating a rash.
The skin often reflects what is happening throughout the body, and every patient deserves to be treated as an individual rather than simply a diagnosis.
Our approach combines evidence-based dermatology with careful listening, patient education, and practical treatment plans tailored to each person's goals and preferences. Whether your treatment involves prescription medications, biologic therapies, lifestyle modifications, nutritional considerations, or simply reassurance and education, we believe patients should understand both what we recommend and why.
We also recognize the important relationship between the skin and emotional well-being. Many chronic skin conditions affect confidence, relationships, sleep, and quality of life, and those concerns deserve thoughtful attention alongside the physical condition itself.

Working Together With Your Healthcare Team
Healthcare works best when providers work together.
My Virtual Dermatology is committed to collaborating with primary care providers, hospitals, referral coordinators, and local specialists to improve access to dermatologic care while strengthening—not replacing—the healthcare resources already serving each community.
As our practice grows, we hope to build lasting partnerships that improve referral pathways, expand specialty access, reduce unnecessary travel, and help patients receive timely, coordinated care closer to home.
Looking Ahead
My Virtual Dermatology began with a simple goal: making expert dermatologic care more accessible.
That vision has grown into something larger.
In addition to providing virtual patient care, we are committed to exploring innovative approaches that improve specialty access for rural communities through collaboration, education, and healthcare partnerships. We believe geography should never determine the quality or timeliness of a person's dermatologic care.
Whether you're a patient seeking answers, a primary care provider looking for support, or a healthcare organization interested in improving specialty access, we're honored to be part of your journey.
