Our goal at NYC Dermatology is to be the Tiffanys of Skin Care.
I personally see every new patient who visits our office. I am not just a physician, I am a Board Certified Dermatologist.
My goal is, quite simply, to provide the type of dermatologic care which I would seek for my own family.
This is a very important point, since physicans often use the phrase "Doctor's Doctor" to refer to those
individuals who typically are selected by physicians themselves for personal care. I am confident that my practice fully
meets that definition. This is the type of 5-star care and service that our patients expect, deserve and receive.
I treat every patient the way I would want to be treated: with courtesy, dignity and respect. I carefully listen to their
skin-care concerns and offer a variety of options including a treatment plan that I believe will give them the best results.
We also support our patients with a very fine medical staff . Please take a moment to explore our top of the line winning
website. My philosophy is simple…Experience Counts and Quality Matters. Please allow
me to solve your skin problems. After all, at NYC Dermatology , our philosophy is if you look great you will feel great
with gorgeous skin.” Best
Regards, Dr. Rothfeld
 
Dermatologists are physicians specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and tumors of the skin and its appendages. There are medical and surgical sides to the specialty. Dermatologic surgeons perform skin cancer surgery (including Mohs' micrographic surgery), laser surgery, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and cosmetic procedures using botulinum toxin (Botox), soft tissue fillers, sclerotherapy and liposuction. Dermatopathologists interpret tissue under the microscope (histopathology). Pediatric dermatologists specialize in the diagnoses and treatment of skin disease in children. Immunodermatologists specialize in the diagnosis and management of skin diseases driven by an altered immune system including blistering (bullous) diseases such as pemphigus. In addition, there is a wide range of congenital syndromes managed by dermatologists. Physician assistants and nurse practitioners with specialized training or extensive experience in dermatology also work in this specialty. Subspecialties The skin is the largest organ of the body and the most visible. Although many skin diseases are isolated, some are manifestations of internal disease.
Hence, a dermatologist is schooled in aspects of surgery, rheumatology (many rheumatic diseases can feature skin symptoms and signs), immunology, neurology (the "neurocuteaneous syndromes", such as neurofibromatosis and tuberous sclerosis), infectious diseases and endocrinology. The study of genetics is also becoming increasingly important.
Venereology, the subspecialty that diagnoses and treats sexually transmitted diseases, and phlebology, the specialty that deals with problems of the superficial venous system, are both part of a dermatologist's expertise.
Cosmetic dermatology
Cosmetic dermatology has long been an important part of the field, and dermatologists have been the primary
innovators in this area. In the 1900's dermatologists employed dermabrasion to improve acne scarring and fat microtransfer
was used to fill in cutaneous defects. Dermatologists specializing in cosmetic dermatology typically use non-invasive procedures
to reverse the signs of aging. Botox has been used since it was FDA approved for the treatment of wrinkles. It is used to
minimize wrinkles such as frown lines and crow's feet. Fillers are used to "fill in" lines on the face and to
minimize the appearance wrinkles. Brand names of fillers include Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Radiesse and Cosmoplast among
many others. Dermatologists are also the pioneers of energy based treatments for the skin and these include lasers, intense
pulsed light, radiofrequency, infrared light and photodynamic treatments.
Dermatologic surgery (dermasurgery) is performed by all dermatologists. Surgery is an integral part of dermatology residency
training; thus all dermatologists are well trained in cutaneous surgery. In North America specialized training through a 1
year dermatologic surgery fellowship is available upon completion of the dermatology residency, and usually focuses on training
in Mohs' micrographic surgery. Most dermatologic surgeons who have a special interest in this field apply for fellowship status with the American College of Mohs Micrographic Surgery
and Cutaneouis Oncology; or the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. Techniques available to a dermatologic surgeon include lasers, traditional scalpel surgery, electrosurgery, cryosurgery, photodynamic
therapy, liposuction, blepharoplasty (cosmetic eyelid surgery), minimally-invasive facelift surgery (e.g., the S-lift), and
a variety of topical and injectable agents such as dermal fillers including fat transfer and hyaluronic acid. Some specially
trained dermatologic surgeons perform Mohs' surgery, which can be an effective method for the treatment of recurrent, indistinct, or difficult skin cancers.
Any mole that is irregular in color or shape should be examined by a dermatologist to determine if it is a malignant melanoma, the most serious and life-threatening form of skin cancer. Following a visual examination and a dermatoscopic exam (an invaluable
new instrument that illuminates a mole without reflected light), a dermatologist may biopsy a suspicious mole. If it is malignant,
it will be excised in the dermatologist's office.
The first step of any contact with a physician is the medical history. In order to classify a cutaneous eruption, the dermatologist
will ask detailed questions on the duration and temporal pattern of skin problems, itching or pain, relation to food intake,
sunlight, over-the-counter creams and clothing. When an underlying disease is suspected, an additional detailed history of
related symptoms will be elicited (such as arthritis in a suspected case of lupus erythematosus).
Dermatology has the obvious benefit of having easy access to tissue for diagnosis. Physical examination is generally done under bright light and preferably involves the whole body. At this stage, the doctor may apply Wood's light, which may aid in diagnosing types of mycosis or demonstrate the extent of pigmented lesions, or use a dermatoscope which enlarges a suspected lesion and visualizes it without reflected light. The dermatoscope is helpful in differentiating
a benign naevus from melanoma or a seborrheic keratosis from a mole. A morphological classification of dermatological lesions is important in the diagnosis of dermatological disorders. Dermatologic diagnosis is often dependent upon pattern recognition
of lesions and symptoms.
Culture or Gram staining of suspected infectious lesions may identify a pathogen and help direct therapy.
If the diagnosis is uncertain or a cutaneous malignancy is suspected, the dermatologic surgeon may perform a small punch biopsy (using a local anesthetic) for examination under the microscope by the dermatologist who is a trained dermatopathologist.
The skin is obviously accessible to topical local therapy. Antibiotic creams can help eliminate infections, while inflammatory skin diseases (such as eczema and psoriasis) often respond to steroid creams or topical anthralin. Dermatologists are innovators of new immune enhancing treatments, like topical imiquimod for
superficial cancers and injection immunotherapy for warts as discussed below.
Topical medications treat many dermatological diseases, but dermatologists also use oral medications. Antibiotics and immune suppressants or immune enhancing agents (injection immunotherapy or topical imiquimod) for dermatological diseases or tumors. Isotretinoin ("Accutane") is used for severe cystic acne vulgaris and often produces a lifetime remission of this disfiguring disease. Isotretinoin prescribing in the U.S. is now controlled
by a cumbersome FDA governmental website called iPLEDGE. Various new modalities of treatment are in the foray; with the advent of laser technology things are quite promising.
Photomedicine involves the use of ultraviolet light, often in combination with oral or topical agents, to treat skin disease (e.g., psoriasis or mycosis fungoides).
Surgical intervention by a dermatologic surgeon may be necessary, for example, to treat varicose veins or skin cancer. Varicose veins can be treated with sclerotherapy (injecting an agent that obliterates the vein) or the long-pulsed Nd:YAG
laser. Skin cancers can be managed with excision (including Mohs cancer surgery), cryosurgery, x-ray, or with the recent topical immune enhancing agent imiquimod. (See above section on "Dermatologic Surgery" for more details.)
