Skin Infections
We provide rapid diagnosis and treatment for acute skin infections. Our team regularly treats fungal issues such as Athlete’s foot or ringworm, bacterial infections like impetigo or cellulitis, and viral conditions, including shingles and herpes simplex.
Specialized Care
Pediatric Dermatology
Skin issues in children require a gentle approach. From birthmarks to infantile eczema, we are a trusted destination for Pediatric Dermatology in Wellesley. We work closely with parents to ensure treatments are safe, effective, and easy to apply at home.
Therapeutic Injectables
While often associated with cosmetics, treatments like Botox are powerful medical tools. We utilize these therapies to significantly reduce excessive sweating, a condition known as Hyperhidrosis.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist?
While many of our patients are referred to us by their primary care physicians, a referral is not always necessary to schedule an appointment. However, your specific insurance plan (such as an HMO) may require one for coverage. We strongly recommend checking with your insurance provider or calling our office for guidance before your visit to avoid unexpected costs.
How often should I get a skin cancer screening?
For most adults, we recommend a full-body skin check once a year. However, if you have a personal or family history of skin cancer or if you have a high number of moles, we may recommend more frequent monitoring.
What is the difference between a medical and cosmetic appointment?
Medical appointments focus on the health of your skin, treating conditions like acne, rashes, or suspicious lesions. These visits are typically covered by insurance. Cosmetic appointments focus on aesthetic improvements, such as reducing wrinkles or sun spots, and are generally an out-of-pocket expense.
Do you offer urgent appointments for sudden rashes or concerns?
Yes. We understand that some skin issues, like a painful cyst, infection, or severe rash, cannot wait weeks for an evaluation. We reserve specific slots in our schedule for urgent medical dermatologic needs. Please call our office early in the day if you require immediate attention.
Why is my acne not clearing up with over-the-counter products?
Acne is a complex inflammatory condition often driven by hormones, genetics, and bacteria that reside deep within the pores. Our dermatologists can prescribe medical-grade topical or oral medications that target the root cause of your breakouts to prevent long-term scarring.
