Platina Coy Gershtenson, MD, FAAD
Board-Certified Dermatologist
I want each patient to feel as though I have listened to them and that I’m caring and compassionate. I try to understand how their condition affects them. Patients often tell me that I’m very thorough, which translates into taking the time needed to treat their condition.

My appointment today with Dr.Gershtenson was probably the best appointment I've ever had regarding rosacea on my face. Its been a battle for 2 years and I think i finally got a great doctor. She listened and gave me a great new routine and plan. I don't want to bash any other dermatologist but in the past I was in and out of appointments so fast and left wondering what is going on and with medications that weren't working and no POA. Thank you so much !
