Skin issues can seriously impact your life. An estimated 35 percent of patients visiting primary care offices are concerned about their skin but only one percent of American doctors are dermatologists, said Upstate Dermatology’s Dr. A. Neal Gregory, MD.

In 1991, he established the first Upstate Dermatology office in Chatham. Through the years, Upstate Dermatology expanded, and in October, their sixth location opened at One West Avenue, Suite 315, in Saratoga Springs.

“The celebration was us opening our doors and having patients coming in and thanking us for being here and being available,” said Dr. Gregory.

The Time is Now

The skin is the body’s largest organ, so if you have concerns about its health or appearance, then it’s a good time to visit Upstate Dermatology, said Dr. Gregory. Their knowledgeable and skilled staff provide expert assessments of your skin, general and surgical skin care, cosmetic procedures, and personalized treatments for patients of all ages – from those still in the cradle, to those more than 100 years old.

In addition to treating all sorts of day-to-day dilemmas including acne, eczema, and rashes, Upstate Dermatology provides treatments for life-threatening carcinomas. Dr. Gregory, a Board Certified, American Academy of Dermatology, Mohs Micrographic Surgeon, saves precious time identifying dangerous skin conditions with exacting mole mapping and advanced AI-driven solutions that catalogue the progression of moles so that suspicious melanomas can be evaluated quickly.

Dr. Gregory performs precise skin cancer removal procedures onsite, then provides a microscopic examination of tumors (and the underlying diseased tissue) to ensure it is completely removed, significantly lowering its chance at regrowth, and improving the protentional for new, healthy skin to develop in its place.

To Live Clearer, Longer

The Upstate Dermatology medical team also includes plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Karpinski, Betsy C. Morales, NP, Lauren Rokjer, FNP, Nina Komarov, Natural Pathic Doctor, and Dr. Albert Huho, MD, a molecular pathologist whose up-to-the-minute advances have transformed the lives of those suffering from skin allergies. His rigorous breakout patch testing identifies even subtle triggers from among 80 different chemicals commonly found in the American environment. By treating chronic inflammatory skin conditions with FDA-approved non-invasive laser light treatments, Upstate Dermatology can slow and even reverse the growth of persistent psoriasis and eczema.

Upstate Dermatology’s collection of recommended products relieves and soothes your skin woes even after you leave the office. By combining prescribed medicines and specially-made formulas this ensures your skin is healthier and clearer, longer.

“We treat problem skin – from your toes to your hair and everywhere in between, and we recommend you use these products because we’ve recommended them for years and know they work,” said Dr. Gregory.

Unmatched Performance

Although dermatology is fascinating work that inspires him every day, Dr. Gregory said that moving to Saratoga comes with another unique perk, as an accomplished competitive Western horseback rider, he is excited to explore Saratoga’s equestrian lifestyle.

Dr. Gregory is also proud to say that he has maintained the same philosophy today as he had on day one – “If you need to be seen, you need to be seen soon. We’ll always get you in, and you can always be confident with any doctor you see here.”
