As a board certified general dermatologist, I see all patient types and ages without restriction. I have practiced medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology for the past 20+ years. That encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of skin ailments like psoriasis, eczema, acne, warts, benign growths and skin cancer. I also perform surgical procedures to remove skin cancer and moles. I perform cosmetic procedures that include the use of injectable neuromodulators and fillers, and also use a wide range of lasers and energy based devices to accomplish goals such as laser hair reduction, photorejuvenation, scar remodeling, skin resurfacing, skin tightening, body contouring and other indications. I am a past president of the Chicago Dermatological Society and the Illinois Dermatological Society. I am an active member of the American Academy of Dermatology, American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and the American Society for Lasers in Medicine and Surgery.
