Curious how I became a dermatologist? Here’s the full path…and what makes it one of the hardest roads in medicine.
∙ 4 years undergrad, USC
∙ 4 years medical school, NYU
∙ 1 year internship — 80-hour hospital weeks at Mount Sinai in NYC
∙ 3 year dermatology residency at University of Miami, where I was elected chief resident of Cosmetics and trained in Mohs micrographic surgery (skin cancer removal)
∙ Research fellowship in hair/alopecia, with training by two of the most published hair loss physicians in the world
∙ ASDS cosmetic surgery fellowship - blepharoplasty, hair transplants, liposuction, lasers, scar revision.

14+ years. Thousands of hours. One incredible specialty.
