The office is one of the nicest medical offices I’ve ever seen…and I’ve been in A LOT! It feels like you’re in a modern living room. All the staff were very accommodating to my infant in a stroller. Dr. A was great! Personable and professional!

Dr Akhavan and his staff always go above and beyond. Not only is Dr Akhavan an amazing and talented dermatologist but his office is so accommodating. He is professional and makes me look way younger! Couldn’t ask for anyone better

I feel so lucky to have found this practice. The team is super knowledgable and they provide the best, top-quality, effective treatment whether your need be medical or cosmetic (or both!). I’ve seen them for medical reasons as well as tattoo removal and Botox and every time I feel so take care of. Can’t recommend them enough.

HIGHLY recommend this practice–especially Dr. Akhavan. I decided to try this dermatologist after experiencing consistent 2-hour waits in my prior dermatologist’s office (who supposedly is best in the city… but he overcharges and his staff seems stressed and unhappy). Dr. Akhavan and his staff are kind, efficient, courteous, and seem to really enjoy what they do–and they run this practice for the benefit of their patients (not the other way around). As a new patient, I was allowed to fill out some optional forms on my smartphone in advance; I was shown in to see the doctor and his assistant less than 5 minutes after my appointment time. Grateful and appreciative–and now I’ll never go anywhere else. Five stars, DEFINITELY.

Best dermatology practice I’ve ever been to.
A friend who struggled with acne for years recommended this practice, and since then I’ve been treated for a variety of skin issues (eczema, hyperpigmentation, scars, keloids, and more) and every time the doctor has always been very attentive, and most importantly realistic in setting expectations for treatment options, price and length.
Most recently, I finally decided to see if anything could be done about a keloid in my bikini area that another dermatologist told me I’d have to just live with and couldn’t be happier with the treatment I received from Tatiana. I saw even better results than we both expected so quickly, and the treatment was affordable (even without running it through insurance).
HIGHLY recommend and trust this practice.

This doctor and his office never disappoint. Totally professional. Dr Akhavan listens to your needs and never makes recommendations that don’t meet your objectives. Along with regular skin checks, I have had Pico Sure, which has made my skin smooth and clear, SculpSure which finally helped me get rid of my belly fat and vaginal rejuvenation, which has helped me in multiple way, including stopping leakage when I run. I love everyone that works in this office and highly recommend Dr Akhavan and his team

Unfortunately for me, I was born with bird lips. I never wore lipstick, just nude lipliner and a little chapstick.
Who would’ve thought all I needed was a little of filler?! Dr. Arash helped me so much! I just told him I wanted to look natural and he took it 100% from there. The procedure quick (30-45 minutes), painless (numb) and easy – I felt like myself by Monday.
Dr. Arash is knowledgeable, comforting and guides you through the process so you know exactly what to expect. The office is centrally locates and the staff is competent and kind.
My lips are fuller, I’m more confident and I just wonder why I didn’t do this sooner.

LOVED! Alli gave me the best HydraFacial, I left feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated! My skin was glowing for days and I got compliments on how great my skin looked by 5 different people who see me every day. I saw the biggest difference in my stubborn acne spots, the discoloration was almost gone after just one session. Can’t wait to go back next month.

First Time Visiting a Dermatologist in NYC?
With an endless number of doctors, hospitals, and private practices in New York offering Dermatology Care, finding the right one for you can be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. Dr. Akhavan prides himself on his state-of-the-art practice, The Dermatology and Laser Group, being your singular source of effective skin treatments and routine preventive care.
Our goal at our initial consultation is to leave you feeling confident in your new skin care program. We have a variety of minimally-invasive cosmetic treatments that can yield lasting results with a minimal number of sessions. We also have advanced tools for skin cancer screening, mole analysis, eczema, and other illnesses.
How Do I Know It’s Time to See a Dermatologist?
The epidermis comes into contact with bacteria, viruses, and other harmful agents more than any other organ. Unfortunately, irritants and infections on the skin are apparent and visible, prompting additional concern for aesthetic reasons.
If you’ve noticed any of the following, it’s sign you need to see a dermal specialist right away.
- growing, and/or changing mole
- patch of skin that’s red, itchy, irritated
- non-healing lesion
- deep, painful cysts
For chronic skin illnesses such as eczema & psoriasis, you should also make an appointment to take back control of your life. We have custom solutions for our patients’ unique needs.
Do I Need a Referral to Visit a Dermatology Practice?
Most dermatologists will see patients that come in without referrals. However, for visits regarding medical skin concerns – patients should call their insurance company to verify the visit is covered without a referral. Some insurance companies only allow in-network practitioners that are recommended by primary care doctors.
What Happens During My First Visit?
You will meet our Patient Care Coordinator and Doctor, and review your medical history and ongoing concerns. We will discuss any products and supplements you use or have tried. Be ready to share any relevant details that may help with understanding your particular skin. You should have a list of questions for the Doctor ready.
The goal of the first visit is to develop an effective skin care treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes, medication, laser treatments.
How can I find the best dermatologist in NYC?
You should find a Dermatologist that is board-certified, and has many positive reviews online. Look for patient reviews that discuss the conditions and procedures which pertain to you. This will help verify the skin doctor has had past success that will carry over to you.
The best dermatologists are sought after by celebrities and wealthy individuals. They are featured in the press, and have their skin care wisdom and advice mentioned across web articles, magazines, news stations, and so forth.
