New Orleans dermatologist Jeffrey Poole, M.D. Uses Vivacare to Educate Patients about Skin Conditions
Jeffrey Poole, M.D. understands that patients seek skin care information from their own dermatologist. Their online searches for health information can be frustrating and they would prefer to learn from the source they trust most, their own doctor.
Dr. Jeffrey Poole has responded to his patients’ needs by creating an Online Patient Education Library that offers them convenient access to health education resources to help them better understand their skin conditions , including acne, aging skin, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and skin cancer. The Library also reviews procedures offered by Dr. Poole, including Botulinum Toxin (Botox) and laser and light treatments for rosacea.
