Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery offers precise skin cancer treatment with 99%+ cure rates. Our fellowship-trained surgeons remove cancer layer-by-layer, preserving healthy tissue while achieving optimal cosmetic outcomes. Patients receive immediate microscopic analysis and same-day wound reconstruction when needed.
Laser Hair Removal
Our advanced laser technology targets hair follicles for long-term reduction. This FDA-approved treatment works on various skin tones with minimal discomfort, requiring 6-8 sessions for permanent results in areas like the face, legs, and back.
Botox Injections
FDA-approved Botox injections temporarily relax facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and prevent new lines. Results appear within days and last 3-4 months, with common treatment areas including forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines.
Photodynamic Therapy
This two-step treatment uses Levulan and blue light to destroy precancerous skin cells. It effectively treats actinic keratoses while improving skin texture and tone, with visible results after 1-2 sessions and minimal downtime.
Patch Testing
Our comprehensive patch testing identifies 125+ common allergens causing contact dermatitis. Adhesive patches applied to the back remain for 48 hours, followed by analysis to determine specific triggers and recommend safe skincare products.

I commend Dr. Sari Weinstein and her nursing and reception staff. Top marks for excellent care and courtesy. Couldn't be happier for the best in routine visits as well as handling delicate Moh's surgery.

In a country of possibility & equality racism still exists & will never get better. Today I experience such first hand. Was at your office @ 2:00 pm for a @2:10 pm appointment. Patients come, went, even those who had @3:00pm appointment got through and leave while I'm sitting there like i don't exist all because I was the only black person in that room. Went to enquire from the nurse only to be told the doctor running late & I'm next (last)yet still every patients after me left before me.
When I asked why that guy that got a 3:00 pm appointment went in before me the nurse had no rational answer for me. Your office don't need black patients u should state such than to have us at ur clinic disrespected. By the way when paying for a service it don't have white money nor black money. SAME MONEY, SAME BLOOD IN OUR VEINS.

Story time. I called to make an appointment because I ran out of my prescription. The lady on the phone told me the doctor would be back in on the 6th and then suddenly told me she could squeeze me in on the 4th. She gave me very confusing information and then HUNG UP on me. This made me very angry, however I was glad I at least had an appointment. Or so I thought! I was supposed to come in this morning, but I called beforehand to confirm since the whole thing seemed sketchy. I'm pretty sure the same woman picked up the phone and she told me I did NOT have an appointment. Although I like my doctor, I may have to switch offices due to this experience.

I am a regular patient at this practice. I have seen multiple doctors here over the years and they are all great. Very knowledgeable and kind. There can be a wait at times, but that is to be expected. I am never rushed once in a room-they make sure to take their time with me and answer all my questions. Would definitely recommend this practice.

The worst doctors office I have ever had to deal with (and we've all dealt with a few). So unbelievably unreliable. They never answer the phone and when they do they keep you on hold for an eternity. My pharmacy can never get in contact with them either. Everything is a massive production with this dermatology office. Would not recommend to anyone who values their time.
