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.

Dr Gershtenson is thorough and explains everything she is doing. I like that she reminds me how important it is to use sunscreen and other sun protection items and to do monthly self checks. I appreciate her caring manner.
