What MDCS Dermatology does

MDCS Dermatology: Medical Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery is a multi-location dermatology practice founded in 2002 by Dr. Snehal Amin and Dr. Noah Gratch, operating 9 clinics across Manhattan, Long Island, and New Jersey. The practice provides four core service lines: medical dermatology (acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, hyperhidrosis), cosmetic dermatology (Botox, Juvederm fillers, Fraxel, Morpheus8, laser treatments), surgical dermatology (mole and skin tag removal, liposuction), and skin cancer surgery (Mohs micrographic surgery, PDT Blue Light therapy). Sub-branded offerings include the proprietary Z-Lift minimally invasive facelift and a body of energy-device treatments (FaceTite, Genius RF microneedling, Vasculaze). Underlying technology is primarily clinical (board-certified physician staff using FDA-cleared energy and injectable devices) supported by a digital operations stack: Phreesia for patient intake, Zocdoc for online booking, Collectly for payment processing, and (as of April 2026) Assort Health Voice AI agents for phone-based scheduling.

The practice generates revenue on a fee-for-service basis across both insurance-reimbursed medical dermatology and self-pay cosmetic procedures, accepting most major insurance plans. Patients are acquired through a multi-channel approach: organic social media (Instagram, Facebook), content marketing, 20,000+ patient reviews on its platform, earned media in outlets such as New York Magazine and InStyle, and digital booking channels. The 4.92/5 patient rating, Castle Connolly Top Doctor recognition, Memorial Sloan Kettering community affiliate status, and over 20,000 accumulated reviews reflect a strong brand reputation within the NY/NJ metro. Headcount of 51-100 employees includes reportedly 30+ board-certified dermatologists and physician assistants with credentials from Harvard, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, and NYU, plus fellowship-trained Mohs micrographic surgeons. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or revenue figures.
