About Adult and Pediatric Dermatology
Adult and Pediatric Dermatology, led by Michael Paltiel, MD, a Board-Certified Dermatologist and Founder & Medical Director, together with a highly skilled team that includes Zina Goldvekht, PA-C, Certified Physician Assistant; John A. Perrotti, MD, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon; and Aleksey Babakhanov, FNP, Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, with over 20 years of experience, specializes in medical and cosmetic dermatology in Forest Hills, Queens.
We offer complete care that makes each patient look and feel their best while improving their overall health and well-being. Our team of board-certified dermatologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and compassionate staff is honored to care for people of all ages at our office in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, New York.
Our team takes each patient’s concerns to heart. Just as no two fingerprints are identical, each person has unique health challenges that deserve a tailored medical response. This is especially true when dealing with complex skin conditions that require individualized care and attention.
Patients rely on our team’s expertise when treating the full scope of skin, hair, and nail disorders. Our team frequently treats medical problems like rashes, acne, eczema (atopic dermatitis), moles, psoriasis, and warts. We also take care of viral infections like molluscum and embarrassing problems like hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
Adult and Pediatric Dermatology provides skin cancer screening and treatment. We have extensive experience in traditional excisions to cut out cancer and reconstructive surgery. We’re also experts in Mohs micrographic surgery. This specialized technique has an exceptionally high cure rate in that it removes all the cancer while preserving almost all the healthy tissue.
When it comes to improving a person’s appearance, our team uses proven techniques together with today’s cutting-edge technology. People who need skin rejuvenation, whether they want to eliminate age spots and wrinkles, need skin tightening, or want to get rid of acne scars, can choose from many available therapies.
Adult and Pediatric Dermatology providers offer Botox®, chemical peels, dermal fillers, and Kybella, and newer techniques like thread lifts, skin lasers, and microneedling.
We take care of your whole body with therapies ranging from vein treatments to CoolSculpting® to eliminate those stubborn pockets of fat like love handles. We also offer EmSculpt®, a noninvasive treatment that builds muscle and burns fat while patients simply relax.
Adult and Pediatric Dermatology takes pride in the ability to sympathize, empathize, and deliver the treatments that heal dermatologic problems and make cosmetic dreams a reality. To learn more, call the office today or book your appointment online.
