Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Patient Portal?

Your Patient Portal allows you to securely access and review your health information. Using your personal computer or smartphone, you can sign in to https://sanovaderm.ema.md/ema/PatientLogin.action to view a summary of your health information based on your visits to Sanova Dermatology.

What kind of information is available to me in my Patient Portal?

Your Patient Portal allows you to see your past appointments, test results, medications, and a summary of your current health conditions. You are also able to communicate with your Clinical Care Team through a secure, confidential messaging system that works just like e-mail.

How do I sign up?

After scheduling your appointment with Sanova Dermatology, you will be sent an email that expires within 72 hours. This e-mail will include your log-on which is your e-mail address, and a link to verify your last name and date of birth. Once you click on the link and follow the prompts, you will set up a new password. The password must be at least 8 characters and contain 1 uppercase letter, 1 number, and 1 symbol.

What if I do not have an e-mail address?

We will provide you with a username, password, and the address, https://sanovaderm.ema.md/ema/PatientLogin.action, to log in to the Patient Portal. Upon the first login, you will be prompted to change your password. The password must be at least 8 characters and contain 1 uppercase letter, 1 number, and 1 symbol.

My username and password don’t seem to work. What could be the problem?

You can find this page by clicking on the “Patient Login” link next to the “Forgot Password” link from the login screen or choose “Continue as Patient” from the https://sanovaderm.ema.md/ema/PatientLogin.action landing page.
