Thanking Dr. Barbara Resnick and Portland Dermatology Clinic
Portland Dermatology Clinic‘s Barbara Resnick, MD, has been a part of Project Access NOW since its inception. Similar to many other pioneering physicians, she and her six dermatologist colleagues entered the Project Access program through a participating safety net clinic (Wallace Medical Concern).
“I’ve enjoyed volunteering at Wallace and I’m scheduled to return at the end of the summer,” Dr. Resnick said. “With Project Access NOW I like that I can see patients here in my office where we’re set up for the most efficient work flow and have everything we need. We can be active in the community from our office.”
Each of the Clinic’s physicians sees as many as 10 unique patients per year, providing initial and follow up care as needed.
“I see one or two Project Access patients per month,” Dr. Resnick said. “The process is seamless and every patient is really grateful for the opportunity to get care.”
Dr. Resnick also expressed appreciation for the appropriateness of referrals, the patients’ honoring their appointments, and the support from Project Access NOW care coordinators.
She said, “The system is working as it should.”
What’s more, Dr. Resnick recognized the importance of the group’s administrative staff. “I’m fortunate to have great office staff, which is also part of my bias in favor of Project Access NOW. They take care of the details, and everything is very easy.”
Encouraging fellow dermatologists and other physicians to participate, Dr. Resnick said, “If you have the ability to take care of patients who wouldn’t otherwise have access, I recommend you do it through Project Access NOW.”
Thank you, Dr. Resnick and Portland Dermatology Clinic, for your support and participation!
