Meet Dr. Silverstein

Dr. Silverstein grew up right here on Long Island in Suffolk County and attended Stony Brook University where he completed his undergraduate degree and his residency training in dermatology. During medical school, he graduated at the top of his class and was selected to the prestigious medical honor society, Alpha Omega Alpha, as a junior member, one of only 3 people to be selected out of 125 in his class. During his residency training, he served as Chief Resident. He scored at the top percentile on his board certifying exam.  He is currently a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Stony Brook where he sees patients during half the week and is the Director of the Inpatient Consultative Service and thus provides care to the most complicated dermatology patients on Long Island.  Additionally, he actively teaches dermatology residents and is the Director of the Clinical Clerkship in Dermatology for School of Medicine.  Dr. Silverstein has published multiple articles and continues to do so in major dermatology journals, having authored more than a half dozen manuscripts in the last 2 years.

​

In addition to these roles, prior to founding IslandWide Dermatology, Dr. Silverstein saw patients privately in Port Jefferson and Patchogue.  Dr. Silverstein is honored to now provide care right here in Ronkonkoma and Riverhead. His philosophy is that he treats every patient as a family member and only provides the highest quality, ethical medicine. He believes in a patient-centered approach and wants every patient to feel comfortable with their care.

Dr. Silverstein provides care in all aspects of dermatology including common dermatologic ailments, complex medical dermatology, surgical dermatology, and cosmetic dermatology.
