Services
Acne Treatment
Our acne treatment program addresses mild to severe acne through personalized medical interventions. We combine topical treatments, oral medications, and advanced procedures to target underlying causes while minimizing scarring. Patients receive comprehensive education on skincare routines and lifestyle modifications to achieve long-term clear skin.
Skin Cancer Screening
Comprehensive skin cancer screenings utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to detect melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers at their earliest stages. Our board-certified dermatologists perform thorough full-body examinations, employing dermatoscopy and biopsy when necessary to ensure accurate diagnosis and timely treatment planning.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Total FX laser resurfacing delivers transformative results for skin texture, tone, and wrinkle reduction. This state-of-the-art CO2 laser treatment stimulates collagen production while addressing sun damage, acne scars, and surgical scars with minimal downtime, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Botox Injections
FDA-approved Botox injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause frown lines and crow's feet. Administered by experienced dermatologists, this minimally invasive treatment softens expression lines in adults aged 18-65, with visible results appearing within days and lasting up to four months.
Cosmetic Fillers
Dermal fillers restore facial volume and smooth wrinkles through injectable hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite formulations. Our specialists use precise techniques to enhance facial contours, plump lips, and reduce nasolabial folds while maintaining natural facial expressions and achieving balanced aesthetic results.

Report
I called to make an appointment as a new patient due to a few suspicious moles/ skin changes. After 20min on hold I was told they were available for a full body check 7 months from now, but possibly sooner, if I had specific number of moles to assess. They told me I had to tell them EXACTLY how many I needed looked at. I'm not a dermatologist, I don't know if it's 3 or 4, it seemed crucial to be exact, and I was told I had to commit then and there to a number in order to be seen. The receptionist was formal, business like and not terribly friendly. I understand it's a business and I don't need

I have always had a very positive experience with Dr. Correale and her staff. I found everyone there to be very professional and thorough and I appreciate the extra precautions they are taking to keep their patients safe during COVID. When I called to make an appointment for my skin cancer screening it was a 2 month wait but that is to be expected for non-emergency services, and what I have always experienced with other dermatology practices.

I have been seeing Dr. Correale for about 3+ years. She has always been friendly and professional. Dr. C. has a matter of fact approach but I like that about her. Her treatment of my basil cell carcinomas has been wonderful and she has referred me to specialists when I needed Mohs procedures. Her staff is also friendly and professional.

Agree with the demeaning and demoralizing review ,it was nice to see someone else felt that way. I was not called back or given a medication refill, I was basically referred somewhere else after investing money and time for two months in an initial treatment.
