The Sturge-Weber Foundation Honors Dr. David J. Goldberg

The Sturge-Weber Foundation honored Dr. David Goldberg with one of the industry’s highest awards at a tribute dinner held in Miami on March 05, 2010. As our regular readers know, Dr. Goldberg is a pioneer in the field of dermatology and director of Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists of New York and New Jersey.


According to Karen Ball, President of the Sturge-Weber Foundation, “Each year, the Sturge-Weber Foundation singles out one outstanding leader in dermatology to receive what has become one of the highest accolades that can be achieved in our field. Dr. Goldberg is one of the true pioneers in dermatology, who has worked tirelessly to bring cutting edge technologies, innovative techniques and promising new treatments to the practice of medical and cosmetic dermatology. His work with skin lasers is unparalleled, and he is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading dermatologists. We are extremely pleased to honor him at our annual dinner.”


Dr. Goldberg is world-renowned for his innovative work with skin lasers, cosmetic dermatology and facial rejuvenation techniques. The Sturge-Weber Foundation honor is another in a long list of awards and honors received by him. He was the first recipient of the prestigious Leon Goldman award, named after the founder of laser surgery. In addition, he was named one of the top ten laser surgeons in the United States by Self magazine; one of the best doctors in America by both Woodward/White, Inc. and Doctors Inc.; and one of the best dermatologists in New Jersey by New Jersey Monthly. A prolific author who has contributed to more than 10 academic textbooks and 125 papers, Dr. Goldberg also serves as a clinical professor and Director of Laser Research at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine.


Dr. Goldberg said, “I am extremely humbled to be named the Sturge-Weber Foundation honoree this year. The Foundation has accomplished so much in their mission to improve the quality of life for people with port wine stain birthmarks and associated conditions. I look forward to continuing to contribute to finding new treatments that can bring hope and relief to patients and their families.”


I'm proud to be a business partner, friend and colleague of David Goldberg, and am delighted to share his award with our readers.

The latest and greatest in aesthetic technology at the Strata Medical Event in NYC

Dr. Goldberg and I just taught at a Strata Med Event this weekend in New York. There were about 75 docs there - most dermatologists but other specialties as well.

This was one of the most organized and structured events we have ever done. It was split between didactice and demonstrations, moderated by Irvine dermatologist Dr. Christopher Zachary who missed his calling as a stand up comic!

Also teaching was NY celebrity dermatologist Dr. Doris Day, and my close friend, plastic surgeon Dr. Lawrence Bass. We discussed Botox, Dysport and newer non-FDA approved botulinum toxinds like Xeomin (Merz) and Puretox (Mentor). Dr. Bass and I did live demonstrations of Botox in the upper and lower face. We also spoke about different fillers including hyaluronic acids - Juvederm, Restylane and Prevelle silk, Radiesse, Sculptra and Evolence (even though J and J just pulled it from the market).

We were pretty comprehensive and did the usual nasolabial folds and lips but also some fun things like Radiesse cheek lifts and chin augmentation and hand rejuvenation. Dr. Goldberg gave a great talk on the state of the aesthetic industry and demonstrated the Syneron e-matrix system and the new Lumenis Lightshear Duet - a super fast and virtually painless hair removal system.

Dr. Day demonstrated the Lumenis Active and Deep FX and Dr. Bass the Palomar system. I demonstrated Sciton's TRL concept and did 2 combination microlaserpeel/profractional treatments. It was a great meeting, and I am looking forward to the next one.
