Board certified in dermatology and co-director of the dermatology division at Staten Island University Hospital, Dr. Kurzman manages a broad practice, offering a full line of injectables, IPL™ (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments, and laser hair removal, along with customized skincare regimens.
“We uphold the belief that sometimes less is more. Appropriate,incremental steps help people address their cosmetic and general dermatology concerns while keeping them from feeling overwhelmed.” In all cases, Dr. Kurzman’s goal is a natural appearance, followed by tailored skincare programs
and patient satisfaction. He offers his own line of skincare products under the Michael Kurzman (MK) Skincare brand, all of which are made from plant extracts, for an all-natural approach to wrinkles, acne, sun damage and beautiful, luminous skin.

Since most of his patients are seen on a regular basis, Dr. Kurzman puts a great deal of emphasis on surrounding himself with a top-notch staff that shares his vision. “We have assembled a knowledgeable group of friendly, highly trained professionals who enhance the standards I have set. Every one of our patients is treated as a person—not ‘the 9 a.m. filler.’” Getting to know the patients on a personal level and treating them compassionately is where Dr. Kurzman derives most of his satisfaction. “I tell every prospective patient they can count on my honesty, skill and experience.” In terms of his ability to help patients turn back the clock, Dr. Kurzman maintains a conservative philosophy. “I am a proponent of natural beauty that promotes individual character. I believe that cosmetic dermatology should enhance, rather than mask, patients’ distinguishing features,” he says.
