Amazing Experience! Highly Recommend.

I saw Dr. Novick for microneedling with agents to stimulate melanocytes (to help the white color blend in with normal skin) for a white forehead scar, and I can't recommend him enough. From the moment the procedure started, he was warm, upbeat, and genuinely reassuring - the kind of doctor who makes you feel at ease rather than rushed. I had a lot of questions, and he patiently answered every single one without ever making me feel like I was taking up too much time. What really

Great First Consult !

Dr. Novick was patient, attentive, and honest. It was the least rushed doctor’s appointment I’ve ever had. He really took the time to understand my concerns and listened to what I was saying. He did not try to push any treatment on me and was honest and genuine in his evaluation. Looking forward to working more with him!

I Had a Fantastic Experience W/ Dr. Novick!

I called Dr. Novick’s office and he picked up the phone himself. He spent an hour with me on the consultation and ultimately told me he didn’t think treatment was necessary—something almost unheard of in New York dermatology, where the default seems to be selling you on Fraxel or lasers before you’ve finished describing the issue. If you’ve been bouncing between consultations in the city (or anywhere else) with derms who keep pushing aggressive resurfacing for scars, reach out

I highly recommend him

I had subcision done on my nose to fix a dent, and the result is flawless and the experience wa completely seamless. Beyond the outcome, his bedside manner is outstanding. He explains everything thoroughly, never pressures you, and genuinely cares about getting the best result. He succeeded where other providers couldn’t, which says everything about his skill. I highly recommend him. He’s also a great person and I felt safe in his care.

Dr. Novick is a Great and Knowledgeable Doctor

I called Dr. Novick’s office and he answered the phone. I explained to him that I wanted to have an ear piercing closed that I no longer wanted. I asked if I should have it cut out and he explained that because I have keloid skin that wouldn’t be a good idea but instead to use a treatment called TCA cross.. He explained to me that that would be a better option for closing the piercing as supposed to cutting it out as cutting it out would be more of a scar.. the doctor went on

Experienced, Knowledgeable, Artist

Nothing but good things to say. I went in quite nervous. He took his time explaining things to me, and reassured me he would make me look great. He did just that. He also clearly loves what he does, and was almost as excited as I was with the end result! In short, he has the knowledge, experience, and artistry to create wonderful results. He’s also a real mensch! Thanks Doc Will definitely be back -Josh

Excellent Results

Dr. Novick performed a restylane contour operation. It was quick procedure, performed in office, with minimal discomfort and the results were excellent and readily apparent. He is a kind and brilliant physician.

Visiting for Keloid Scar Enhancement

Very nice, attentive, and professional. Unlike many doctors who rush through appointments just to move on to the next patient, Dr. Novick takes the time to explain everything in detail. He also doesn’t try to hard-sell or push treatments you don’t need. I truly appreciate his approach and can’t wait to see the results!

The Mose Underrated Dermatologist in NYC

By far one of the best dermatologists in the field. Shows genuine concern for you as opposed to seeing you as a cash grab. He does a good job of informing you about your condition to keep you well aware of what's going on. He does this by explaining the background and the science behind your condition and tells you all the the available options avoiding harmful trends that seek to do nothing than to take your money. If something works or seems to work because of a practice you've
