“Waited over 1hr! I had to ask the receptionist twice if I was being seen. So many patients and nowhere to sit. People where siting in the stair way. I waited longer than I was seen by the doctor (approx. 13 mins)”

About David Farag
For me, treating patients is not just about the right diagnosis and prescription. It's about caring for the individual. When a patient comes in to see me, we begin a journey together-a path toward healing and improvement.
David Farag, PA-C, is an experienced Physician Assistant who has been practicing medicine since 2004. He developed a vital understanding of leadership and patient advocacy while president of his class at St. John's University, where he received his B.S. in Physician Assistant Studies. David conducted his medical training at Bronx Lebanon Hospital, where he had the privilege of treating a vast number of patients with various medical conditions while serving in the emergency room. In 2010, David's strong interest led him to refocus on dermatology. He specializes in both medical and cosmetic dermatology. Of particular interest to him is the psychosocial effect of dermatologic ailments on an individual. His focus goes beyond appearance-David seeks to administer the very best care to his patients.
In his spare time, David has traveled around the world to conduct medical missions. He found great satisfaction doing so in China, Rwanda, Uganda, and Guatemala. When not spanning the globe, David loves spending time with his wife and daughter.
