Viva Skin & Foot Health
Viva Skin & Foot Health is a primary-care program in Doral for common skin, hair, and foot concerns. Acne, rash, and eczema visits here start at age 12.
About this program
Children younger than 12 are seen in Viva Kids & Teens. We see teens and adults with acne, rashes, eczema, or hair loss. We check new or changing skin spots in adults.
Foot checks and small-wound dressing care for people with diabetes are coordinated when needed. To start, book a visit online or by phone. Some follow-ups can be done by video, but spots, wounds, and feet are checked in person.
A provider looks at your skin and asks about triggers, products, medicines, and health conditions that can affect skin and hair. Confirm test availability, sampling location, assay suitability, and cost before nonurgent testing; outside laboratory coordination may be needed. Other tests are coordinated with an outside laboratory.
First-line care may include a skin-care routine and topical or oral medicine classes when they fit. For a spot that needs a closer look, the visit is an assessment. Your provider documents it, sets up a biopsy or dermatology review when needed, and tracks the result with you.
This program does not offer skin-cancer surgery, cosmetic procedures, or hair transplants. Deep, infected, or worsening wounds are referred right away.

Insurance informationSee how to bookFrequently asked questions
Can I get acne care here without a dermatology referral?
Yes. Common acne in teens and adults is often managed in primary care. Your provider asks about your skin routine, products, medicines, and hormone-related patterns, then suggests a plan that may include topical or oral medicine classes. Acne that is severe, scarring, or not improving after a fair trial is referred to dermatology.
Do you treat eczema and other rashes?
Yes, for common rashes. Your provider looks at the rash, asks about triggers such as soaps, fabrics, heat, and allergies, and builds a skin-care plan that may include moisturizers and anti-inflammatory creams in the right strength. Rashes that are widespread, unclear, or keep coming back may need further testing or a dermatology review.
What happens at a hair-loss visit?
Your provider asks when the hair loss started, its pattern, recent illness or stress on the body, diet, hair care, and medicines, and examines your scalp. Iron or thyroid tests, when needed, are coordinated with an outside laboratory. This program does not offer hair transplants; scarring or unclear hair loss is referred to dermatology.
I have a mole that changed. Can you tell me if it is cancer?
No. A visit here is an assessment, not a diagnosis. Your provider examines and documents the spot and, when it looks suspicious, coordinates a biopsy or dermatology review promptly and follows up with you on the result. Changes in size, shape, color, or bleeding are good reasons to book soon.
Why do people with diabetes need foot checks?
Diabetes can reduce feeling in the feet and slow healing, so a small blister or cut can get worse if it is missed. Your provider coordinates a preventive foot check, explains daily foot care, and arranges prompt specialist attention for foot problems. Contact the team before booking to confirm the visit you need. Emergency signs need 911 or the nearest emergency room.
Can you take care of a small wound?
A small wound can be looked at during a visit, with dressing care coordinated when needed. Contact the team before booking to confirm the care available for your wound. A wound with pus needs prompt medical attention. Deep, infected, worsening, or poorly healing wounds, and any foot wound with poor circulation, are referred promptly. Do not wait for a routine visit if emergency signs appear.
Urgent symptoms
- a rash that spreads fast with fever, or skin that blisters or peels
- swelling of the face, lips, or throat, or trouble breathing
- A wound with rapidly spreading redness, red streaks, or fever
- a cold, pale, or dark toe or foot
- a wound that will not stop bleeding
- If any of these happen, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Call 911 for a life-threatening emergency.
Urgent guidance →When we refer
This is primary care, not a dermatology, podiatry, or wound-center practice. Severe, scarring, unclear, or treatment-resistant skin and hair conditions are referred to dermatology. A suspicious spot is never diagnosed here; your provider coordinates a timely biopsy or dermatology review and tracks the result. Deep, infected, worsening, or poorly healing wounds, and any foot wound with signs of poor circulation, need prompt specialist care.
