Appointments
Contact

We see all the patients on an appointment basis, and ask that you call in advance so that we may reserve time for you. We try our best to see all our patients on time, and ask that you extend the same courtesy to us. Unexpected patient emergencies may arise which can cause us to fall behind schedule. Please let our secretaries know if this becomes a problem for you.

If you cannot keep an appointment, notify us immediately. Please try to give us 24 hours notice so that this time may be given to another patient.

Emergency Care

In the event of a severe emergency related to your skin, go immediately to the emergency room of the nearest Hospital and ask them to contact your doctor.

If the situation is not that severe and arises while the office is closed, telephone (212)-684-5964 and the answering service will promptly forward your message to the doctor on-call. You will receive a response as quickly as possible.

If an urgent situation arises while the office is open, call the office and the doctor will be in touch with you either directly, or through the office personnel giving you instructions on where to meet for emergency care.

Prescriptions and Renewals

All prescriptions and authorizations for renewals should be requested during normal office hours. For your safety prescriptions greater than six months old cannot be renewed by telephone.

Telephone Calls

We encourage you to call with questions you may have concerning your skin problems; however it would be unfair to other patients if the doctor were to disrupt treatment to answer every phone call. Our staff is trained to answer most questions. If your call requires that the doctor speak with you, please leave a message and the doctor will return your call at the earliest opportunity.

HIPAA Privacy Rules

Our office strictly follows all HIPAA Privacy Rules and all your medical information is confidential.
