Order: practices that describe themselves as Black-owned or Black-led first, then by how much care for Black skin and hair their website documents, then by Google reviews. Nobody can pay to move up.

Before you book

How do I find a Black dermatologist in New York City?

2 New York City practices on this page describe themselves as Black-owned or led by a Black dermatologist, and they're listed first (Prince Adotama, MD, Dr. Michael Jackson). Every practice on this page documents care for Black skin and hair. We never guess anyone's race: that label appears only when a practice states it.

What should I ask before booking?
  • Does the dermatologist regularly treat your condition in Black skin or textured hair?
  • Do they take your insurance, and are they accepting new patients?
  • For hair loss: do they examine the scalp closely and do biopsies when needed?
