Weathering The Storm...


We were half-way through the rebuild of our South Street Seaport office last month when the Buildings Department condemned our entire block.
Front Street has been evacuated by the Mayor’s Office, so that the City can focus on badly damaged underground sewage and electric systems. The estimated shut-down of power, running water, and heat is expected to last 4-6 months.
In the meantime, our Upper West Side and Williamsburg locations remain open and we’ve expanded hours to include weekends. That’s right, Saturday and Sunday 9am-7pm!
We recognize that our downtown patients still need great dermatologic care, and have begun construction of a new office on Sullivan and West 3rd Street in Greenwich Village. I will do everything I can to open our doors there by February 2013. (www.greenwichvillagedermatology.com)  Our Financial District, Tribeca, C-Town, and Battery Park neighbors have gone through a tremendous disaster. Patients have shared with us devastating stories of homes lost, businesses destroyed, and families still without power for weeks.
For those patients experiencing financial hardship because of Hurricane Sandy, we are waiving all medical co-pays through February 2013.
Simply alert our front desk when checking-in at your next visit.
We deeply value your loyalty to our practice now more than ever. You’ve placed your confidence in us through 5 years of caring and we will return to the Seaport when the City deems it safe again.
And now on to news and our quarterly newsletter…
We’ve published a book! It’s not exactly bedtime reading, but for those of you “armchair dermatologists” out there, I believe you’ll find plenty of great information on Skin Emergencies.




Wishing you all the happiest of holidays and thank you so very much for all your support!  Please check our website for updates on the new Greenwich Village office!  Looking forward to getting back to work downtown!
