Hudson Dermatology

What Hudson Dermatology does

Hudson Dermatology is a private, physician-owned dermatology practice operating eight offices across the Hudson Valley region of New York State. It bills itself as the largest independent dermatology practice in New York State and serves patients in Dutchess, Westchester, Columbia, Ulster, Putnam, Rockland, and Orange counties with a staff of 22 board-certified dermatologists, 20+ physician assistants, and 7 licensed estheticians, supported by telemedicine via the Appatient platform.

The practice operates two revenue streams: a medical dermatology line covering skin cancer detection and Mohs micrographic surgery, full-body skin scans, and treatment of chronic conditions (acne, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, vitiligo) that is largely insurer-reimbursed; and a cash-pay cosmetic line covering neuromodulators (BOTOX, Dysport, Jeuveau), hyaluronic acid and biostimulatory fillers (JUVÉDERM, Restylane, Radiesse), lasers and light-based devices (Spectrum IPL, Excimer laser, TheraClear, laser hair removal, microneedling), chemical peels, microdermabrasion, Dermalinfusion/SilkPeel facials, Latisse, and sclerotherapy. Pediatric dermatology, plastic surgery consultations through a partnership with Specialty Aesthetic Surgery (Drs. Mashkevich and Frants), and telehealth visits round out the offering. Practice tooling is built on the EMA Modernizing Medicine patient portal and NextPatient scheduling, with no disclosed AI/ML, proprietary software, or data analytics layer.

Commercial mechanics reflect a hybrid insurer-pay medical practice plus a self-pay cosmetic practice: cosmetic consultations require a $150 non-refundable deposit ($75 credited toward procedure) and plastic surgery consultations a $250 deposit. The practice participates with Medicare and most major commercial plans but exited the UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage network in May 2024 over reimbursement and prior-authorization issues. Founded and led by partners including Dr. Hendrik Uyttendaele, Dr. Ross Zeltser, and Dr. Filamer Kabigting, the practice also runs an internal Gap-Year Medical Assistant program that has placed over 82.5% of graduates into medical, PA, or nursing programs over five years, functioning as a feeder for clinical talent.
