Our practice has treated many professional athletes including
professional baseball and basketball players as well as championship boxers
and wrestlers. Our dermatologist also routinely treats dancers involved in
modern dance and ballet, as well as amateur athletes who participate in
a wide variety of sports. Our dermatologist has consulted for local college athletic programs and lectured on sports dermatology including at prestigious hospitals such as the Hospital for Special Surgery, whose doctors are team physicians for many local professional and college teams.
When treating athletes one has to be aware of how treatment
will affect their athletic performance. For instance, a baseball player
will need to be especially careful with their hands, while a dancer may be more
concerned with foot lesions. If necessary, treatment often needs to be
postponed to the off-season.
A physician also has to be concerned with any media
attention that an injury may receive. In addition, one has to be concerned
with any medication that may affect drug testing.
