About me

I’m a board-certified medical dermatologist committed to serving patients of all ages.

I earned my BS in Biology from Haverford College and then my MD and PhD from the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and completed his dermatology residency at Stanford University.

I’m a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD, a member of the AAD’s Media Expert Team, and am active in the National Eczema Association (NEA) and the Foundation for Research and Education in Dermatology (FRED).

I’ve met a lot of people who were not happy with the last dermatologist they saw. I get it. I see you.
In my medical practice, I strive to go beyond topical creams and 5-minute visits to help frustrated people regain control of their skin and hair and feel seen again.

Whether you are a depressed, anxious teenager struggling with cystic acne or a high functioning professional who feels handcuffed at work by your constantly flaking skin or sweating palms, I want to guide you towards meeting your health goals and transforming your life.

Through actively listening to my clients and their family members and explaining diagnosis and treatment options in a detailed but easy to understand manner, I collaborate with you to formulate a realistic and actionable plan based on shared decision making and cutting-edge treatment modalities.

I am passionate about combining conventional western medicine (the stuff most U.S.-trained dermatologists learn in medical school and residency) with the principles of functional medicine (lifestyle factors, root causes, focus on bio-individuality) to help people who need more than a 5-minute fix to their skin, hair, or nail disease.

I have 4 years of experience honing my dermatology skills in corporate medicine and am building a virtual direct care dermatology clinic where I’ll be delivering a hospitable, integrative, thoughtful brand of dermatology care that I hope will pleasantly surprise you. We all know healthcare needs more of that.

Whether you’re waiting in that 4-month queue to finally see the one dermatologist in your town (or the town 90-minutes away…) or you’re simply curious about why all your hair is suddenly falling out, I want to be here for you.
