In his positions as chief of dermatology at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and a DirectDerm<\/strong> physician, he has a passion for treating complex, life-threatening skin eruptions.<\/p>\n He recalls a 20-year-old gentleman who came in for a rash on the palms of his hands. \u00a0This rash had been present for several months before coming to Direct Derm. \u00a0After reviewing the images, Dr. Kafi sent the young man for blood tests, suspecting that he had a sexually transmitted disease. \u00a0Indeed, the tests revealed that he did have this rare infection. \u00a0Thanks to DirectDerm<\/strong> technology and physicians, he was diagnosed quickly and began treatment.<\/p>\n \u201cTeledermatology allows us to get specialized skin care to places where it previously wasn\u2019t available,\u201d he said. \u201cDirectDerm allows us to take our expertise out to places that don\u2019t otherwise have it, to provide top-tier dermatology support for primary care physicians in areas that don\u2019t have specialists.\u201d<\/p>\n What does this mean to the patient? \u201cWe\u2019re making diagnoses earlier and more efficiently, and we\u2019re getting patients the care they need faster than they would otherwise receive it,\u201d he says. \u201cWithout a doubt, that means better outcomes for patients. The earlier you catch a melanoma, the better the outcome will be.\u201d<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” text_font_size=”20″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” custom_padding=”|||30px” module_class=”bolder”]<\/p>\n CREDENTIALS<\/strong><\/p>\n Medical Degree \u2013 University of Michigan School of Medicine.
