Dr. Eric S. Schweiger, a board-certified dermatologist whose expertise has dotted the pages of Cosmo and Glamour, leads a talented team of doctors and technicians in treating a variety of skin woes. From among the menu of medical and cosmetic services, lasers run rampant; zapping away unwanted hair, tattoos, and fat cells, or putting on entertaining light shows in the slate- and blue-hued waiting room. Dr. Schweiger, who also serves as an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, remains active in clinical research, recently publishing the first case report for using Restylane to treat a cleft lip.

With 17 years of practical experience under his belt, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Aron Kressel expertly tailors his extensive repertoire of treatments to suit the aesthetic needs of each patient. As a plastic-surgery-section chief at a NYC hospital, he lends the doctor extra experience in performing a wide range of cosmetic work, including breast augmentation and reconstruction, blepharoplasty, and mole removal. His nonsurgical treatments can enhance patients' exteriors without any post-op downtime, employing injections of Botox to reduce wrinkles or CoolSculpting sessions to reduce fatty excess.

Doctors Oleg Klempner and Serge Kupetz protect and beautify their patients’ smiles with an array of cosmetic and preventative dental services. The doctors care for smiles using advanced techniques including Zoom! teeth whitening and state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment such as oral-cancer fluorescence tests, computer-assisted anesthesia, digital radiography, and high-tech wind-up dentures.

The doctors at Nu/Hart Medical have performed more than 30,000 total hair-restoration procedures, transplanting men's and women's thinning heads of hair with locks that defy the fate written by genetics or clairvoyant court reporters. For those not ready or medically suited for transplants, the doctors also perform noninvasive laser therapies that encourage hair regrowth, and prescribe medications that slow hair loss.

New patients arriving for a dental exam at Zenthea Dental Spamay wonder if their GPS has accidentally led them to a spa. Intricately patterned walls provide a backdrop for each clean, minimalistic treatment room, where dental tools are neatly tucked away out of sight, and shiny silver textures or wooden reed-like patterns draw the eye away from the oversized cushy dentist's chair, which reclines fully for comfort or a mid-appointment nap.

The team combines advanced dental technology, such as 3-D scans and digital x-ray imaging, with soothing spa-like services, such as reflexology, massage, and aromatherapy. The comfort-focused objective seems to be working too, as Dr. Marc Nock told TopDentists.com, “I've had several patients tell me that coming here was the most relaxing part of their day."

Alexander J. Antonakos was accepted to NYU College of Dentistry as a high-school student and showed his aptitude for dentistry by completing this rigorous program in three years instead of four. He subsequently opened his own practice, New York Cosmetic Dental, and for the past 25 years, he and his staff have created a relaxing office environment free of unnerving dental posters and medical jargon.

During appointments, Dr. Antonakos takes the time to listen to his patients’ dental concerns before performing thorough exams. He then discusses his findings and explains the available treatment options, speaking clearly and distinctly and never in a Pee-wee Herman voice. Whether patients are in need of routine cleaning, tooth-colored filling, root canals, or Invisalign, Dr. Antonakos aims to create an enjoyable and stress-free experience by providing constant reassurance and dental sedation if necessary.
