There's a thing on my head

Anyone have a good dermatologist in Brooklyn/lower Manhattan who takes GHI?

Tribeca Skin Center takes some GHI plans. They are my go-to place if my regular dermatologist uptown isn't available.

She's not in those locations, but at 42nd and 2nd Ave is Dr. Dendy Engelman, who is pretty great. And the only reason I mention it is because I happened to click through and see your title. I had three things on my head, and she was able to remove them all (in two visits) easily and relatively painlessly.

Not sure about insurance though, but I also came in to recommend www.zocdoc.com, which is a handy little site where you can book appointments, fill out paperwork beforehand, and browse doctors who take your insurance, with ratings and such for most of them. Good luck!

Dr.Zelaya has locations in Brooklyn and on W17th street and takes GHI. Brooklyn has a long wait, Chelsea less so.

griphus do you remember who my dentist's neighbor is because i think you may have forgotten

My regular dermatologist is at the Beth Israel on 23rd and 8th and he is pretty awesome, Dr Mizuguchi, and from what I can tell they take about a dozen GHI plans.

I don't know if they take GHI but Spring Street Dermatology is really great.

(Also, if you use Zocdoc, google the practice before booking! I could have saved myself six weeks of anguish if I had done that.)
