5 Best Dermatologists in New York (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Finding a dermatologist in New York usually starts with a referral or a Google search at 11pm because something on your skin won't wait. Lower Manhattan alone has practices that between them have logged over 2,700 Google reviews, and the ratings run from 4.3 up to 4.9, a wider spread than you'd expect for board-certified dermatology. That gap is worth paying attention to before you book.

Short answer: Goldman Dermatology leads with a 4.9 rating across 556 reviews from its Financial District office. Tribeca Skin Center and Downtown Dermatology both hold 4.9, with 685 and 281 reviews respectively. The Dermatology Specialists has the most reviews on this page at 757 but the lowest rating, 4.3, worth knowing if wait times or billing communication matter to you. All five practices offer both medical and cosmetic dermatology.

Watch: 5 Best Dermatologists in New York (2026)

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average for each practice. Review volume measures how many patients have actually left a rating, weighed against other dermatology practices we found across New York. Confidence blends the two, so a high rating built on hundreds of reviews scores above the same rating built on a handful. Recency tracks how recently people are still reviewing, a sign the practice is actively operating as described. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What does seeing a dermatologist cost in New York? (2026)

Cost depends heavily on whether a visit is medical (often covered partly by insurance) or cosmetic (typically out of pocket), and on which specific procedure is involved. None of the practices on this page publish a fixed price list we could verify independently, so we’re not printing figures here. Confirm your insurance is accepted before booking, since at least one practice on this page has had reviewers flag insurance mismatches.

Serving all of New York

Every practice on this page sits in Lower Manhattan, spanning Tribeca, the Financial District, and South Street Seaport, all a short walk or subway ride from each other. If you’re searching for a dermatologist near me anywhere in New York, note that a few of these practices are part of larger multi-borough or multi-state groups with additional locations.

What to ask before you book a dermatologist

  • Will I see a board-certified dermatologist, or a nurse practitioner or physician assistant?
  • Is my insurance accepted at this specific location, not just the practice’s network?
  • What’s the typical wait time for an appointment, and for the visit itself?
  • Is this a medical concern, a cosmetic one, or both, and how does that affect cost?
  • How do prescription refills work if I can’t come in for a follow-up?
  • What’s the practice’s policy if I need to reschedule on short notice?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these practices?

We pulled dermatology practices in New York with a public Google Business profile, then ranked by rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google review data verified in July 2026. We refresh listings periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Do these practices handle both medical and cosmetic dermatology?

Yes, based on each practice’s own service listings, all of them offer both medical dermatology (acne, eczema, skin cancer screening) and cosmetic services (Botox, fillers, laser treatments).

Should I see a dermatologist for a skin cancer screening even without symptoms?

That’s a decision for you and your primary care doctor. This page compares patient experience and reputation, not medical advice.

The bottom line

Goldman Dermatology has the highest rating on this page with a review base deep enough to trust, and Tribeca Skin Center’s two-decade track record is the safe default if you want an established multi-doctor practice. Whichever you choose, confirm your insurance is accepted at that specific office before your visit.
