Mentorship has played such an important role throughout my own journey, which makes the opportunity to now give back especially meaningful.

As Chair of the CAS Healthcare Alumni Mentorship Program (CHAMP) Task Force, I had the privilege of hosting the Welcome Reception for our inaugural group of mentors and
mentees.

CHAMP was created to bring together NYU College of Arts & Science (CAS) alumni working in healthcare with current prehealth students, giving them an opportunity to
learn from those who once stood where they are today.

Early in my own career, I was fortunate to have mentors who believed in me, challenged me, and helped give me the confidence to pursue the physician and surgeon I wanted
to become.

Their guidance had a profound impact on my path, and I have never forgotten the importance of having someone willing to share their knowledge and
experience.

Now, having the opportunity to do the same for another generation of aspiring healthcare professionals is incredibly meaningful to me. Pictured here with my mentee at our first CHAMP gathering. I’m looking forward to the conversations, relationships, and growth that will come from this program over the year ahead.

There is something very special about seeing mentorship come full circle.🙏🏼

This before & after shows the improvement following a customized Laser Genesis treatment plan designed to address acne-related redness, inflammation, and overall skin quality.

By gently delivering heat into the skin, We can zap away acne producing oil glands. Calming down and preventing future breakouts from occurring. Laser Genesis can help reduce visible redness while supporting collagen production and creating a smoother, more even-looking complexion—with minimal downtime.

The goal: calmer, clearer, healthier-looking skin. ✨

Every acne treatment plan is individualized based on the patient’s skin, type of acne, and underlying concerns.

A beautifully noticeable difference.

Sclerotherapy is a precise, minimally invasive treatment designed to target unwanted spider veins by using a very fine needle to inject a solution (polidocanol) directly into the affected vessel, causing it to gradually close and fade from view.

With cooler months ahead, now is an ideal time to begin treating the veins you’d rather not see next summer.

No surgery. Minimal downtime. Smoother-looking, more even-toned legs.

Schedule a consultation to learn if sclerotherapy is appropriate for you.

Improving the lower face and neck doesn’t always require surgery.

This result was achieved through a customized combination of non-surgical modalities, including Morpheus8 and neuromodulators, selected specifically for this patient’s anatomy, skin quality and aesthetic goals.

No two faces age in exactly the same way, which means no two treatment plans should look exactly the same. The goal is to understand where tightening, refinement, support or balance is needed and thoughtfully combine modalities to create a result that still feels natural to the patient.

The neck is often one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging, yet it can be one of the most challenging areas to rejuvenate.

This before & after shows the results of Fraxel CO₂ laser resurfacing, with a noticeable softening of the deeper horizontal wrinkles, improved texture, and an overall smoother, more refined appearance to the skin.

CO₂ resurfacing works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, initiating a natural healing response and stimulating the production and remodeling of collagen. This allows us to address more than what we see on the surface—helping improve deeper lines, crepey texture, uneven tone, sun damage, and overall skin quality.

What makes this result especially meaningful is the improvement in the depth and definition of the wrinkles. Rather than simply making the skin look temporarily smoother, the goal is to encourage structural remodeling within the skin for a more natural, gradual rejuvenation.

And collagen remodeling doesn’t stop when the skin has healed. The skin can continue to improve in the months following treatment as new collagen develops and reorganizes.

We often focus on rejuvenating the face, but the neck deserves the same attention. Treating the face and neck as a continuum can create a much more balanced and natural-looking result.

Smoother texture. Softer lines. Healthier-looking skin.

Twenty-five years ago, on the morning of September 11th, I was performing Mohs surgery on a patient who was an NYPD officer.

We were in the middle of his procedure when news began to reach us about what was happening at the World Trade Center. I had removed the skin cancer, but I had not yet reconstructed the surgical defect on his nose.

Without hesitation, he got up from the chair.

With an open wound on his nose, his first thought wasn't about himself. He simply said:

“I have to go help my brothers.”

I have never forgotten that moment.

To me, it represents so much of what New York showed the world that day — extraordinary courage, selflessness, loyalty, and an instinct to help others when they needed it most.

Twenty-five years later, I still think about that officer and the countless first responders, healthcare workers, firefighters, police officers, volunteers, and everyday New Yorkers who put themselves aside to help someone else.

September 11th will always carry profound sadness. But it is also a reminder of the strength of this city and the character of the people who call it home.

I am incredibly proud to be a New Yorker, and it remains one of the greatest privileges of my career to care for and serve the brave, resilient people of this city.

Today, we remember those we lost, honor those who answered the call, and carry forward the strength and unity that defined New York in the days that followed.

We will never forget.
