Q: What services do you provide?

A: We offer several services:

Injectables: This is truly a combination of science, art and mathematics where product selection, injection technique, anatomy and beauty ratios (such as the golden ratio or phi) are considered. Sculptra is my favorite injectable to recontour an aging face. Lips are my favorite area to enhance.

Skin cancer surgery.

Laser Services: Laser benefits both health and appearance. For example, a resurfacing laser treats precancerous lesions called actinic keratoses instead of freezing them off, as well as complexion and fine wrinkles. Our newest carbon dioxide laser has specialized attachments for turning back time on the hands and, most interesting, is used for comfortable laser vaginal rejuvenation, which has health benefits, as well.

Medical grade skin care: Science is at the heart of making sure we are really making changes in your skin that are more than temporary. If my team and I can get you on the right regimen at home, then we have set up a strong foundation for future skin health success.

Q: What makes this area of medicine fulfilling for you?

A: I most enjoy long-term patient relationships and formulating a skin game plan with my patients, then seeing it through. My patients can also see the changes.

Q: When did you realize this was the right medical career path for you?

A: My father had his second heart attack when he was 45 years old and I was 10 years old. Thats the moment I became intrigued in medicine. My dermatology interest developed during medical school because, one, Im a visual person, and two, the field of dermatology seemed simple but, in fact, it was and is rather challenging. I liked that surprise.

Q: Whats the latest advancement in your field that will benefit patients?

A: Combination treatments using multiple tools and techniques together are getting more popular. Medical microneedling with platelet rich plasma (PRP), growth factors or radiofrequency is becoming very popular with our patients. Its safe skin rejuvenation for any skin type with no downtime.

New injectables are coming to the market each year, which is also exciting.

My aestheticians favorite treatment is dermaplaning facials. Our patients glow after.

Know Your Health Professional

Q: Best advice for current and potential patients.

A: A few pieces of advice:

You are never too young and never too old to make a positive change. Small changes can lead to a dramatic change over a lifetime. This is exemplified in aesthetic dermatology.

The dermatologist-patient relationship is special so lets work together to respect and preserve it. Aesthetically oriented dermatologists such as myself can take care of your preventive, surgical, and aesthetic skin issues. There is so much potential in dermatology because health and anti-aging are intertwined.

BOTOX Cosmetic is a good bucket list item if youve never tried it the sooner, the better.

Highly Respected Anti-Aging Specialist, Garry Fredric Gordon, MD, DO, MD(H), will be Spotlighted in The Leading ... - PR NewsChannel (press release)

A4M has for the past 25 years shown the ability through vision and technology to make American medical care great once again. The time has come for a major overhaul of the American healthcare system. "While Obamacare had some noble intentions, Obamacare and politicians have driven medicine into a constant state of disarray. Its time for medical leaders such as the A4M to voice their opinion," asserts Dr. Ronald Klatz.

Dr. Ronald Klatz, M.D., D.O., physician-founder of the American Academy of Ant-Aging Medicine and patent holder of over 30 medical innovations stated, "Physicians must resume control of patient care. Today the insurance company rep has more influence than a doctor. Thats a sad statement. It is necessary to have a plan that restores authority to highly experienced, regulated and educated medical professionals. We should focus on effective, preventative healthcare to extend quality of life and increase longevity, and simply bring back common sense to medicine."

The following 10-point, low-cost, high-tech healthcare, wellness, and anti-aging plan has the potential to save American tax payers over one trillion dollars over the next seven years:

Point One: Point of Care (POC) Laboratory Testing. Defined as testing at/near the site of patient care. The goal of POCT is to allow more rapid and effective diagnosis and triage, leading to improved patient outcomes, reduced morbidity and mortality, and slashed costs.

Point Two: Biomarkers of Aging and Health Measurement. Billions of health care dollars are wasted on diseases that can be detected and treated early or prior to occurrence: heart disease and stroke, cancer, and Type 2 diabetes.

Point Three: Free Biannual Comprehensive Metabolic Testing. These tests may slash Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome costs by 20%. This is significant given that Metabolic Syndrome is a primary cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Point Four: 24/7 Telemedicine Consultation Access. The improvements generated from the use of telemedicine are vast. Telemedicine provides access to medical professionals for residents of remote areas and people with limited mobility, unclogs emergency rooms from non-emergency patients, and creates jobs for people who are only able to work via telecommuting.

Point Five: Aging Intervention Drugs. Six major diseases are having an enormous impact on the 65+ population: chronic lung disease, ischemic heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, pneumonia, and gastrointestinal illness.

Point Six: Stem Cells and Nanotechnology Access. These biomedical technologies offer exciting potential for significant improvement and/or cures for previously incurable conditions, such as stroke, cancers, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, paraplegia, and other crippling neuromuscular disorders.

Point Seven: Personalized Genetic Testing and Nutrigenomics. Making these resources widely accessible allows for prospective identification of major disease processes including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, etc., such that appropriate interventions may be deployed at the earliest stage possible, providing the best chance for recovery and less invasive and more cost-effective treatment options.

Point Eight: Free/Subsidized Access to Gym, Spa, Metabolic Detoxification, and Physical Rehabilitation Facilities. Without question, obesity is costing the United States billions upon billions of dollars to combat all of its resulting diseases and conditions.

Point Nine: Online Electronic Database on Aging Intervention & Free Medical Education Resources. By promoting practitioner and patient education, an improved paradigm is created in which physicians keep current on new technologies and patients questions and form a collaborative relationship with their medical caretakers. This increased education on both sides of the healthcare relationship will provide more accountability and communication.

Point Ten: World Center for Anti-Aging Medicine. A center of excellence to extend quality of life into the later years of the average lifespan is necessary for reducing costs and improving living. One centralized research facility dedicated to this specific mission is necessary to focus adequate attention on this vital scientific arena.

While prior administrations have failed to properly consider the value of shifting from a "disease based" healthcare model to an advanced preventative based, cost-saving platform, the new administration has an opportunity to change course. Elected leadership should implement this comprehensive plan immediately to reduce skyrocketing costs and improve the quality of all our lives. The new Health and Human Services (HHS) administration must help Americans get true, proven preventative care and encourage healthier lifestyles. This is the time for real solutions.

As Dr. Klatz states, "We already have the technology to live a quality, healthy, productive, youthful 100 years- plus. Now lets do it!" Please forward to your representative in Washington.

Let's Make American Medicine Great Again - Anti Aging News

A former top doctor whose patient list included Gov. George Pataki and Threes Company star Suzanne Somers has filed for bankruptcyand he blames his financial woes on his third ex-wife

For many years, I was a successful and well respected doctor, specializing in the field of anti-aging medicine, says Dr. Eric Braverman, 59, founder of the Park Avenue Path Medical Center, in the Manhattan federal filing.

In May 2011, I became embroiled in a highly contentious and bitter divorce proceeding with my ex-wife, Darya Braverman, which has completely drained me financially, professionally and emotionally, he claims.

Braverman has sunk $5 million into defending the divorce suit. The chapter 11 filing lists $10.6 million in assets and $20 million in liabilities.

Darya Bravermans attorney, Bettin Hindin of Hindin Deutsch PC, said the doctor likely filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying alimony, which he tallied at more than $500,000 in arrears.

Despite his claims of insolvency he has admitted to the court that he recently enjoyed a respite on St. Barts at a multi-million dollar estate, Hindin said.

Braverman says hes been wrongly vilified throughout the divorce case, but his wounds are also self-inflicted.

In 2014, the doctor settled a consumer protection probe by the state AG for promising patients that $10,000 to $100,000 tests would be largely covered by insurance, when they were not.

A year later Braverman was sentenced to 15 days in jail for trying to steal confidential custody documents related to his split from his 36-year-old spouse.

Then in 2016 he pleaded guilty to harrassing a Texas woman whod accused him of groping her.

Bravermans attorney, Kevin Nash, said his client is already planning a comeback.

Thats the focus of the bankruptcy. He wants to become prominent doctor again, Nash said.
