Presence Over Paperwork: Why Dr. Dupati Saves the Notes for Later
Patient Centered Dermatology
At Apollo Dermatology, we believe that the most important part of your visit isn’t the data entered into a computer….it’s the person sitting on the exam table.
If you’ve had an appointment with Dr. Arjun Dupati, you will have noticed something: he isn’t buried in a laptop screen while you talk. Instead, he’s looking at you. He’s listening to your concerns, examining the nuances of your skin, and answering your questions face-to-face. Patient centered dermatology is how we operate.
But have you ever wondered when all that medical charting actually gets done?
The “Second Shift”: 2 Hours Every Night
In the modern medical world, “desk work” is a massive hurdle. Studies show that for every hour a doctor spends with a patient, they often spend two additional hours on electronic health records and administrative tasks.
To ensure that you get 100% of his attention during your visit, Dr. Dupati makes a conscious choice: he waits. Every single night, after the clinic doors have closed and the lights are dimmed, Dr. Dupati begins his “second shift.” He spends roughly two hours every night meticulously documenting each patient’s visit, reviewing lab results, and finalizing treatment plans. By moving the paperwork to his personal time, he protects the sacred time he has with you during the day.
More Than Just a “Skin Check”
Dr. Dupati’s dedication doesn’t end with notes. To provide world-class care in Southeast Michigan, he remains a lifelong student of medicine.
Dermatology is one of the fastest-evolving fields in healthcare. From new biologic treatments for psoriasis to cutting-edge cosmetic treatments, staying at the forefront requires constant study. Dr. Dupati spends hours diving into the latest medical literature and clinical trials, ensuring that when he makes a recommendation, it is backed by the most current science available.
A Passion for Cutaneous Oncology
While he loves all aspects of dermatology, Dr. Dupati has a particular passion for skin cancer (Cutaneous Oncology). As a double board-certified Dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon, he knows that the difference between a benign spot and a skin cancer often lies in the smallest nuances.
He spends extra time honing his skills in dermoscopy, using specialized magnification to see structures in the skin invisible to the naked eye. His commitment to learning the subtleties of basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma is what allows him to catch cancers at their earliest, most treatable stages. In the last year alone, his proactive approach and specialized training have helped hundreds of patients achieve cancer-free results.
Why It Matters
We know your time is valuable. We also know that your skin health is deeply personal. Dr. Dupati’s “after-hours” work is a testament to how much he cares about your results. He isn’t just treating a condition; he is caring for a neighbor, a family member, and a friend.
The next time you see Dr. Dupati and he gives you his undivided attention and eye contact, know that it’s because he values you more than the paperwork.
