Medical Dermatology

Dr. Finkelstein and his team at The Center for Skin Wellness offer treatments for a wide range of common skin disorders such as acne, warts, rashes, eczema and psoriasis, in addition to treatments for internal diseases affecting the skin, such as lupus, diabetes, various allergies, thyroid disease, cancer and other infectious diseases. We also offer both surgical and alternative medical procedures for actinic keratoses (“pre-cancers”) and skin cancers. See the full list of dermatologist conditions treated and medical services provided.

There are a variety of ways to treat benign as well as cancerous moles and lesions. Dr. Finkelstein will explain all of your choices, help you choose a treatment you are comfortable with, and encourage you to discuss the options presented with your primary care physician or other specialists. We always keep what’s most important in patient care in focus: safety and compassion. Your treatment will begin only after you are fully educated about all available options.

The Center for Skin Wellness is equipped with state-of-the-art surgical suites and most procedures can be performed in the convenience of our office under local anesthesia. Our CLIA and OSHA certified surgical facilities ensure that you are safe, will heal quickly, and come away with the best aesthetic appearance.
