WALK-IN DERMATOLOGY TAKES PATIENTS WITH NO APPOINTMENT
Dr. Brisman is a board-certified
dermatologist and member of the
American Academy of Dermatology,
Women's Dermatology Society and
Skin Cancer Foundation. In April,
she and Steven Dresner cofounded
Walk-in Dermatology, which provides
medical and cosmetic dermatologic
services and allows patients
to book online, call the office or
simply walk in on the same day to be
seen by a dermatologist. Dr. Brisman
is joined by dermatologists Dr. Louis
Siegel and Dr. Kumar Sukhdeo, both
Fellows of the American Academy of
Dermatology.
At Walk-in Dermatology, “anyone
can walk in and be seen seven days
a week for any skin care condition,”
Dr. Brisman says. Plus, the office accepts
most health insurance plans.
While the practice provides the
same services — full-body skin examinations,
diagnostics, cosmetic
procedures, etc. — as a traditional
dermatology office, their approach
is more modern and keeps in mind
that people are busy and sometimes
waiting is not an option.
“It’s all in the scheduling,” she notes.
“We manage our calendar to avoid
scheduling back-to-back patients so
that someone who needs to be seen
the same day can simply walk into
the office.”
“In dermatology, faster is better,”
continues Dr. Brisman. “The sooner
you are diagnosing any kind of
skin cancer, the more treatable it
is…rashes, contact dermatitis and
other skin issues need to be dealt
with faster before they spread.”
The goal of Walk-in Dermatology’s
founders is to achieve efficiency in
patient management, monitoring
and follow-up by utilizing advanced
technology systems to manage electronic
medical records.
“The hardest part about starting a
new practice for me was leaving the
special bonds that I had made with so
many of my prior patients," she notes.
She says thankfully she has been
reacquainted with some familiar
faces. Robyn Doubert of Port Washington
was a patient of Dr. Brisman’s
at her previous practice who says
she owes her life to Dr. Brisman.
For years, other physicians missed
a spot that had concerned Doubert;
Dr. Brisman tested the area and diagnosed
Doubert with melanoma,
the most serious type of skin cancer.
“I was very lucky and thankful she
is so thorough,” Doubert says. She
has also taken her three children
to Walk-in Dermatology. “It’s a big
relief to know you can get right in.
We maybe waited 20 minutes; you
can wait an hour plus 20 minutes
at a regular doctor’s office.”
The quick and easy access to care at
Walk-in Dermatology has come in
handy for Great Neck resident Harold
Lamkay. Upon returning with
his wife from a recent trip overseas,
he had noticed a rash.
“She Dr. Brisnan saw me immediately
and prescribed medication; she
gave me her cell,” he says.
The rash was healed in five days.
“I feel humbled everyday with the
incredibly positive feedback from
patients old and new," dermatologists,”
says Dr. Brisman.
Walk-in Dermatology is located at
50 Glen Cove Rd. in Greenvale. It

“In dermatology, faster is better,”
says Dr. Stacey Brisman.
