Realself - Back in March, as governors, one by one, issued stay-at-home orders to flatten the curve, and suspended elective surgeries in anticipation of COVID-19 surges, countless dermatologists, plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons, and physicians from other “nonessential” specialties closed their doors for what many hoped would be a two-week hiatus. As the pandemic swiftly escalated, any tentative plans for re-openings were quickly scrapped. Doctors wiped clean their spring calendars and pivoted to telemedicine, seeing in person only true medical emergencies.
