As an established patient, you will have an account with Dr. Tyre’s EHR, Practice Better. Through your HIPAA compliant Practice Better patient portal, you will be able to privately message Dr. Tyre with questions, concerns, and as previously mentioned, photos of your skin condition for progress tracking. You may only send health related messages through this portal and not by email. Keep in mind that Dr. Tyre will only answer questions or concerns pertaining to your current treatment plan; for all other questions, you will need to set up a follow-up appointment.
