Together they have continued to provide their special personalized and compassionate brand of dermatologic care to the patients of Westchester and the broader tri-state area.

Treiber Dermatology Associates always puts patients first. Patients continued to receive necessary care both in person and via telemedicine during the Covid pandemic. Afterwards, the practice came back better and stronger, doing a full modernizing renovation of the office, training new staff, and hiring new doctors dedicated to the vision of outstanding patient care. Among them are our 3 outstanding, expertly-trained, and patient-centered physicians: Dr Leah Ansell, MD joined the practice in 2021 and Dr Margot Chima, MD joined the practice in 2023 to provide general dermatologic care for adults and children and to expand our cosmetic dermatology capabilities; Dr John Nia, MD a Mohs/cosmetic dermatologic surgeon joined us in 2022 to provide skin cancer care and complicated reconstructive procedures along with cosmetic removals in the comfort of our office. Patients are now able to make appointments with any of our board-certified doctors to receive the care they need.
