Recommend a derm?

I need a good dermatologist - preferably a no nonsense one that deals with actual serious conditions rather than one who focuses on cosmetic issues. If they sell lotions, they're out.




Some of the good ones do cosmetic work to subsidize their serious work. I wouldn't make that a deal-breaker.


Dr. Eric Siegel in Millburn. He may do cosmetic procedures but I’ve never once heard about them from him in over 15 years of visits.


There's this thread: https://maplewood.worldwebs.com/forums/discussion/can-you-recommend-your-dermatologist

I ended up going to Dr. Michael Ehrenreich, Soma Skin & Laser 90 Millburn Ave Ste 206, Millburn, NJ 07041 (973) 763-7546.  Who was recommended a bit on the other thread - I would recommend him as well.


For “no nonsense”/medical dermatology I can highly recommend https://www.summitmedicalgroup.com/doctor/skim/


I agree with the above. Dr Kim is no nonsense as well as very willing to work to find a long term treatment for a skin issue that I have had for years. 


Thanks for the recs.

And I didn't mean to denigrate cosmetic procedures - I've had a couple myself. (I was plagued with skin tags years ago.) It's just that I had an experience some time ago with a derm (that my ex-wife saw regularly) that was heavily invested in selling his patients all manner of overpriced, privately labeled skin concoctions, which the ex just loved. I really don't think doctors should be in the business of selling stuff like that.

I've got this thing going on on my calf which has baffled 4 different doctors so far, including one derm. Maybe I should send in a picture and get a group diagnosis from you guys. Or is that TMI?  grin 


I'm going to give Dr. Kim a shot. He has an opening next week. Plus he's SMG which makes things a bit easier.

Thanks everyone.
