Dermatology & Skin Surgery Associates
The skin is the first layer we have to the outside world. It’s the largest organ of the body and it performs many useful and necessary functions. The skin offers us protection against infections, regulates our body’s temperature and sends important signals to our brain like pain from fire or pleasure from a massage. But more importantly, the skin helps us heal… from the outside in. As a medical student at Mt. Sinai Medical School in New York City, I was intrigued by the physical, as well as the emotional power the skin has over the human body and spirit.
I quickly learned that as the first layer to the outside world, healthy, beautiful skin empowers our life by giving us the confidence we are naturally born with.
For more than 25 years my philosophy still holds true. Whether it be a medical, cosmetic or esthetic treatment, the intention of my practice, Dermatology and Skin Surgery Associates, is to cultivate healthy, beautiful skin to empower our clients inside and out. Through extensive analysis, skin wellness education and discussion, my team and I take into consideration the needs, wants, and expectations of our clients to develop a personalized treatment plan to work towards impact results. The integrity of your skin and the wellness of your whole-self is of the utmost importance to us.
"Healthy, beautiful skin heals us inside and out."
