"Had my second appointment with PA Elaine Lai. She is super patient, knowledgeable, communicative, and asks questions about my acne and any concerns I have. She also tailor-prescribed appropriate level of prescriptions to build up my tolerance. Strongly recommend going to PA Elaine Lai for your appointments.”

“I had the absolute best experience today with Pamela Lachs, MSPA, PA-C at Borealis Dermatology in Garden City, NY. Not only was she highly skilled, knowledgeable, personable, and thorough, she educated me on my skin and recommended the best products to help protect it. Pamela was the very first person to ever give me a full examination, not just focusing on my skin conditions, out of the three different dermatology practices that I have been to in the past.. Thanks to Pamela, I will be taking much better care of my skin, and getting my yearly follow up visits with her! The medical assistants and staff were also great, and the office is very nice and extremely clean.”

“My son has been seeing Dr. Navin Arora for almost four years now for both eczema and acne, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the care he has received. Dr. Arora is thorough, attentive, and always takes the time to explain treatment options and address any concerns we have. His approach has made a significant difference in my son’s skin health. The staff at the office is also wonderful—professional, friendly, and always accommodating. We highly recommend Dr. Arora.”

"This place is awesome. They have a huge variety of procedures and treatments available for all of your skin needs! Anywhere from spa treatments like a hydro facial and Botox to performing dermal surgery and treating acne or rashes. The staff is super friendly and make sure you’re comfortable throughout your visit. They see all ages too, from kids to adults! They take lots of different insurances and if your insurance doesn’t cover your visit, they take card or cash, but if you pay with cash it’s cheaper than paying with card. 10/10 recommend this place."

"Just got my third hydra-facial with Katerina and I couldn't be happier with the results. I explained I hated the way foundation sat on my face, she recommended dermaplaning, what a difference. My products also absorb better into my skin. Highly recommend."
