More about Dr. David Frankel, MD, FAAD
I graduated from Harvard College with a concentration in English literature and then medical school at the Boston University School of Medicine. After medical school I completed two three-year residencies at the University of Chicago, one in Internal Medicine and another in Dermatology. I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology and a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine. After my residencies I had one more year of training-- a Fellowship year in skin cancer and skin cancer surgery--and then moved to California to practice.
As a complement to my medical practice, I have worked as a writer, journalist, and editor. In the early 1990s I began a long association with the British medical journal, “The Lancet”. In 1995 I was promoted from West Coast Editor to North American Editor, and this brought me back home to New York. Since moving here, I published "Field Guide to Clinical Dermatology", a book intended to teach dermatology to primary care doctors and nurses.
I have been practicing in Park Slope for ten years. I try to maintain an office that keeps patient care warm, unhurried and personal. I welcome patients with all types of skin conditions, and have a subspecialty expertise in allergic contact dermatitis (skin allergy and allergy testing), and in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers.
Thank you for visiting. I look forward to seeing you.
