New York Dermatologist Jeffrey Ellis, M.D. Uses Vivacare to Provide Skin Care Education.

New York dermatologist, Jeffrey Ellis, M.D. understands that patients seek skin care information from their own dermatologist. Their online searches for health information can be frustrating and they would prefer to learn from the source they trust most, their own dermatologist.



Dr. Jeffrey Ellis has responded to his patients' needs by creating an Online Patient Education Library that offers them convenient access to health education resources that help them better understand their skin conditions, including acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and skin cancer.




Dr. Jeffrey Ellis, M.D. joins other leading dermatologists in the New York City area, including Manhattan and Long Island, who use the "From Your Doctor" patient education service from Vivacare Inc.. The service enables dermatologists to create their own online patient handouts that reflects their clinical perspective and unique approach to care.




Jeffrey Ellis, MD is a board certified dermatologist. Dr. Ellis graduated from the combination BA/MD program at Brooklyn College/SUNY Downstate. During medical school, he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. Dr. Ellis is currently the Director of Dermatological Surgery at North Shore / Long island Jewish Hospital.
Dr. Ellis also uses the Vivacare service to share his clinical opinion regarding current skin care issues of relevance to his patients and community. He recently  published his thoughts regarding the use of topical retinoids and other prescription medications for acne.
