“I find Dermatology personally gratifying because I come in contact with
many people on a daily basis, which I enjoy tremendously,” says Dr.
Hellman. “It also allows me to utilize the fine motor skills which I
developed during my musical training in performing surgical and
aesthetic procedures of all kinds. I especially enjoy helping my
patients improve their appearance in relatively short periods of time,
boosting their self-esteem, and giving them the confidence they need to
feel that they can go out and conquer the world. This is the greatest
gratification for a physician.”
Dr. Hellman has been in private practice in New York City since 1993.
She is fluent in English, Hebrew and Hungarian. She is a fellow of the
