Nina Desai, MD

Very knowledgeable, incredible reputation, and cares so much about her patients. She has always provided me with the best guidance and treatments. She also was amazing during my pregnancies and treated my newborn baby’s intense skin issues after multiple doctors could not figure out a treatment.

Dr. Desai is a wonderfully caring and precise doctor. My family and I have seen her for both medical as well as cosmetic procedures. She has an extremely deft hand with fillers and botox, creating an enhanced and natural look (My husband told me I looked great, but couldn't tell I had anything 'done'.) She has also performed microneedling and laser treatments which have really changed my skin texture, removed sun and age spots, and revealed a brighter, glowing complexion. She has wonderful bedside manner with children and adults alike, and I am delighted to recommend her for any and all dermatologic concerns.

I went to Manhattan Dermatology with concerns about my keratosis pilaris aka chicken skin. I had very bumpy patches on my legs an at the time was not sure what they were or how to treat them. Dr. Desai told me the name of my condition and also gave me a few suggestions that could help treat the bumpy skin. I was so impressed by how knowledgeable and confident that was in explaining my treatment options. I do have a darker skin tone so I was worried about certain treatments and the risks that could be involved. I was so happy to find out that Dr. Desai specializes in skin of color and that she knew what would be both effective and safe for my skin type. We ended up doing a gentle chemical peel and products that she recommended to help smooth my skin. I happy to say that the treatment has been effective! If you are in the LA area and looking for a new dermatologist I highly recommend Dr. Nina Desai at Manhattan Dermatology.
