Which dermatologist in Sofia treats acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema and warts?
Dr. Stefany Kraevska, a dermatologist in Sofia, treats these and other skin conditions at Dermatologicum, 13 Bulgaria Blvd, Strelbishte, 1408 Sofia, Bulgaria. She sees patients Monday to Friday, 14:00–18:00; appointments are booked through the reception on +359 888 713 478.
How do I book an appointment?
Call the Dermatologicum reception on +359 888 713 478 and say you would like to see Dr. Kraevska. The reception keeps her weekly schedule and will offer you an available time. Dr. Kraevska does not have access to the schedule herself, so appointments are booked only through the reception.
Do I need a referral?
No. A referral is not required for a paid consultation; you only need an appointment.
When should I see a dermatologist about a mole?
See a dermatologist if a mole changes size, shape or colour, if it itches, hurts, bleeds or crusts, or if you notice a new or unusual mark on your skin that has not gone away after a few weeks. Dr. Stefany Kraevska examines moles with a dermatoscope at the Dermatologicum clinic (13 Bulgaria Blvd, Strelbishte); appointments are booked through the reception on +359 888 713 478.
How long does the first consultation take?
Usually 20–30 minutes, which leaves time for a conversation, an examination and a plan. More complex cases get more time.
Do you see children?
The practice focuses on adults and adolescents. For young children, I will refer you to a suitable paediatric dermatologist.
Can I come wearing make-up?
If possible, come without make-up on the areas to be examined, as this makes the assessment more accurate. If that is not possible, we will work around it.
What should I bring to the examination?
A list of the products and medicines you use, previous test results (if you have any) and your questions, written down in advance.
How much does a consultation with Dr. Kraevska cost?
The Dermatologicum reception gives the price of the consultation and of any procedure when you book, on +359 888 713 478. The clinic has no contract with the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), so consultations are paid privately and need no referral.
