In the U.S., approximately 70% of counties face a significant shortage of dermatologists, resulting in limited access to medically necessary care for patients. Patients often report having to wait up to 6 months and traveling over 2 hours to see a dermatologist. This often leads to patients struggling to obtain timely dermatological treatment, any many patients resorting to ER visits—1 in 20 of which are related to dermatological issues, most of which could be effectively managed with a virtual appointment. It's clear that the need for more accessible and comprehensive dermatology care solutions is urgent.

To address this critical need, we’re excited to introduce Tono Priority Access—a transformative feature initially designed for a leading health plan and now successfully utilized by urgent care centers, ER rooms, cancer centers, and health systems.
