An Evidence-Based Approach:
The Cutting Edge Without the Cutting™
Thanks to Dr. Markowitz's pioneering efforts in non-invasive care, many skin cancers can be diagnosed and treated in the same day without surgical cutting or scarring.
Dr. Markowitz's researched and wrote the textbook on the early diagnosis of skin cancer using a specialized color wheel approach. Her innovative techniques for early detection and treatment have been implemented as training tools and standards of care by healthcare professionals around the world.
Dr. Markowitz has developed curriculum and directed multiple courses, including the advanced dermoscopy course at the prestigious American Academy of Dermatology meeting, and the Greater New York area dermoscopy course for medical dermatology residents.
The Melanoma Research Foundation selected Dr. Markowitz to receive their 2018 Humanitarian Award for her groundbreaking work in early melanoma diagnosis and non-disfiguring skin cancer management.
Virtual Dermatology
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Dr. Markowitz was one of the earliest adapters of telemedicine and she continues to see her patients via teledermatology with HIPAA compliant video visits. Patients use their smartphones, iPads, or laptop computers to take photos and video chat with Dr. Markowitz. Some patients have purchased home-use scopes to attach to their phone, allowing for office level care without leaving their home.
Real Patient Result: Melissa
Seven months pregnant, Melissa was diagnosed with a large, basal cell carcinoma on her forehead. Rejecting traditional surgical treatments that involve surgical cutting and scarring, Melissa sought out Dr. Markowitz.
Dr. Markowitz diagnosed and treated Melissa's skin cancer with the non-invasive techniques that she's pioneered. Dr. Markowitz used cosmetic lasers therapeutically, without cutting the skin. Melissa has had two successful treatments since her twins were born. A small scar is barely visible, and is expected to continue to fade over the coming months.
