ABOUT

Dana Stern, MD, is a board-certified dermatologist.  Although she is considered internationally to be a nail expert and devotes the majority of her time in her New York City practice to treating nail disorders she also specializes in medical, pediatric, and cosmetic dermatology.  Dr. Stern graduated Summa Cum Laude from Emory University where she majored in Biology & Anthropology and received a medical degree from New York Medical College in 2002. She completed her medical residency in dermatology at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, where she served as Chief Resident. Having completed a two-year fellowship in dermatopharmacology, Dr. Stern has a unique knowledge of dermatologic therapeutics and is able to offer a tailored and individualized treatment regimen to each of her patients. Dr. Stern is an assistant Clinical professor at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.

Every dermatologist has access to the same products and treatments, but it takes a true artist, with skill and empathy, to create beautiful, natural-looking results.

 

Dr. Stern is a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, a member of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, The Council for Nail Disorders, and The Skin Cancer Foundation. She has been nominated by her peers to be featured in the New York Times magazine “Super Doctors” in 2014.

Dr. Stern has published several book chapters, original studies, and many articles in the medical literature including the Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, The Archives of Dermatology, the Journal of Drugs In Dermatology, Dermatologic Clinics, and Psoriasis Forum.
