The 13 Best Dermatologists in New York (2026)
New York has more board-certified dermatologists per square mile than anywhere in the country, concentrated along the Upper East Side's Park and Madison corridors and in Midtown medical towers. That density cuts both ways: world-class expertise is a subway ride away, but new-patient waits at the biggest names can stretch months while equally credentialed practices two blocks over see you this week. The ranked list below sorts the city's highest-rated dermatology practices by real Google ratings weighted by review volume, whether you need a skin-cancer check, stubborn acne solved, or cosmetic work done under medical supervision.

Medical vs. cosmetic dermatology
Dermatologists handle two kinds of visits. Medical dermatology covers skin checks, changing moles, acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rashes; cosmetic dermatology covers lasers, injectables, and skin-quality treatments. Most practices above do both, but book the right visit type, and see a dermatologist promptly for any mole that is changing in size, shape, or colour, a spot that bleeds or won't heal, or a new growth. Those are screening visits, not cosmetic consultations, and they should never wait behind one.
