Care Delivered Where You Are

In your home

A home visit lets Dr. Rigor look at skin in natural, familiar light and take the time to understand what's going on – whether it's a stubborn rash, a spot that's changed, or a flare of a chronic condition. Because he's also an internist, he can place a skin concern in the context of a patient's overall health, which matters when the skin is signaling something deeper. For seniors and anyone who finds repeated dermatology trips difficult, having that expertise come to the door makes a real difference.

Telehealth

Many skin questions can be sorted out over secure video before any travel is needed. Dr. Rigor can review a new or changing spot, check how a prescribed treatment is progressing, and advise whether an in-person exam or biopsy is warranted – keeping patients across Pasadena connected to dermatology and internal-medicine expertise from home.

Sofiia Puhach

I am a medical student driven by the intersection of clinical practice, research, and medical communication. As a Medical Editor for Doctor2me, I specialize in refining complex medical information for a broader audience. My academic journey is defined by a commitment to scientific inquiry and a hands-on approach to healthcare, evidenced by my ongoing research work and my volunteer service at a military hospital. I am passionate about contributing to the future of medicine through both evidence-based research and compassionate service.

My clinical curiosity spans the full spectrum of surgical disciplines, though I am most dedicated to the field of neurosurgery.

In my editorial work, I prioritize clinical accuracy by synthesizing data from gold-standard medical sources, including PubMed, the NIH, and the CDC. I ensure every article is grounded in the latest evidence-based research, frequently referencing ClinicalTrials.gov and clinical insights from Harvard Medical School.

My writing aims to serve as a steady roadmap for readers, offering them the science without  'medical-speak'. I believe that when patients have access to credible, peer-reviewed information, they are better equipped to navigate their recovery and treatment.
