DERMATOLOGY MADE EASY
By MICHELLE GABRIELLE CENTAMORE
Notice something suspicious on your skin? Early detection saves lives, reminds the
Skin Cancer Foundation.
But what do you do when you call for an appointment and you’re told you'll have to
wait days or even weeks to see a doctor? Enter the new convenient care, designed
to help patients avoid panic mode, achieve peace of mind, and receive professional
treatment in a timely fashion: Walk-in Dermatology in Greenvale, Long Island’s first
local walk-in dermatologic office.
“The increase in public awareness of skin cancers and advanced treatments
available for chronic skin conditions has encouraged more people to have their skin
examined,” says Stacey Brisman, M.D., F.A.A.D. ”This, combined with the shortage
of dermatologists, has contributed to long wait times to see a board-certified
dermatologist.”
