What is different about Adult and Pediatric Dermatology
Adult and Pediatric Dermatology is a Forest Hills practice, founded in 2008 and led by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michael Paltiel. Queens has no shortage of dermatology offices. Here is what makes this one different, and the proof behind each point.
Board-Certified Dermatologists
You deserve a real specialist. Your care is led by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michael Paltiel, MD, with a team you can name and look up: Zina Goldvekht, PA-C, Aleksey Babakhanov, FNP, and board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John A. Perrotti.
Care for Every Age
From newborns to grandparents. The same office that does your skin check treats your toddler's eczema, your teen's acne, and your parents' age spots.
Bedside Manner
You are heard, not rushed. Patients describe our doctors as kind and thorough. One wrote, "the doctor was professional, kind, and thorough as always"; another, "took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made me feel comfortable throughout the visit."
Gentle with Children
Your child leaves calm. One parent wrote, "What wonderful bedside manner. He saw my daughter as an emergency and was just amazing throughout the entire visit," and another, "The physician was polite and made sure my son was comfortable during his visit."
Insurance
No surprise bills. We take most major plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Empire Plan, HealthFirst, Medicare, Oxford, Tricare East, and United Healthcare, and we confirm your coverage before your visit.
Transparent Cosmetic Pricing
See the price before anything begins. Every cosmetic visit starts with a free consultation, and for Botox you see your exact unit count and total before the first injection.
Evening and Sunday Hours
We work around your schedule. We see patients on Sunday mornings and into the evening on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so a skin problem does not cost you a workday.
Care in Your Language
Speak the language you think in. English, Russian, Spanish, Uzbek, and Polish are all spoken here, and the entire website is available in Russian.
