How we work with Washington Heights patients
We begin with a focused assessment and an explanation of possible causes and options. For medical problems we outline evidence based management and follow up plans. For cosmetic concerns we discuss realistic outcomes, tradeoffs and maintenance. Our in office procedures are performed when they provide a clear benefit and when patients prefer an office visit to a longer referral pathway. We coordinate with primary care physicians when conditions overlap with other medical issues.
What to expect during a visit

Local note: Washington Heights lies within the broader Hudson Valley community and shares local conditions that affect skin, including seasonal sun exposure and variable humidity. These local factors can change how acne, eczema and dry skin present, and they influence screening advice for suspicious lesions. For more on screening and mole checks see our skin cancer screening and mole checks guidance.
