No zits R us
Ever since an aging dermatologist in a South Bend high-rise (8 stories, baby!) made no good, very bad decisions regarding the condition of my older sister’s skin (circa 1982), I have been very wary of skin doctors. When I lived in Port Chester, I tried working with one whose office was clearly outfitted for the “I used to be a French-manicured hottie and I want to keep my youthful face so give me some Botox” set. Once I moved to Brooklyn, I tried working with one whose SoHo waiting room played double-duty as an art gallery. He was openly gay, which gave him bonus points, and he worked with at least one quasi-celeb, whose chart I spied as I got comfy on the vinyl-covered patient seat. But he was moody as all get out and wanted to put me on Accutane despite the deep reservations that I expressed. FAIL!
Enter Dr. Jay Dennett, who is possibly not only the best dermatologist I’ve ever worked with but also a contender for the best doctor I’ve ever had, period (this excludes Personal Coaches and Doctor-Friends Who Call In Scrips For Me). He’s down-to-earth, friendly, listens, and tries his best to design a plan that works. He also knows I have no health insurance and has factored that into his recommendations. At long last, under his care I’m actually beginning to see improvement in my adult onset acne.
So, if you’re looking for the best dermatologist in New York City, specifically Midtown Manhattan, specifically Murray Hill, for anything related to acne, adult onset acne, skin problems, back-ne, or zits, and have tried everything, you should definitely look up Dr. Jay Dennett. And if the previous sentence isn’t enough to prove my friend Bree’s point regarding keyword-rich copy murdering decent writing, then perhaps a sentence like “Help with acne scarring” or “best NYC dermatologist” or “adult onset acne cure not Accutane” or “need help zits” will.
