However, depending on the service/treatment you need, a DNP may not be able to provide it.
The scope of practice for DNP and a physician is quite different. A physician can do everything a DNP can do, but the reverse is not true.
If it’s routine skin check, a skin tag or seborrheic keratosis removal, the NP can do it. If it’s a mole removal–that requires a MD/DO. Laser treatment to lighten darkened skin pigmentation or to cauterize a hemangioma requires a MD/DO. Initial prescription of certain medications for skin conditions, including certain acne meds, require a MD, although the NP can authorize a refill.
