ROCKPORT — Pen Bay Medical Center welcomes dermatologist Leopold S. Laufer, MD, to the Pen Bay Skin Center on the hospital’s Rockport campus.
Dr. Laufer has more than three decades of experience and is board-certified in dermatology. He earned his medical degree from Tulane University after completing his undergraduate degree at Oberlin College. He completed an internship in internal medicine at Baylor College of Medicine followed by his residency in dermatology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. Laufer also served as a part-time assistant professor of dermatology at New York University.
Prior to coming to Maine, Laufer was in private practice in Brooklyn and Cortlandt Manor, New York, for more than 30 years. He specializes in psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, pigmented lesions, lichen planus, skin cancers and drug eruptions.
Laufer enjoys building partnerships with his patients, according to PBMC, in a news release.
“I strive to listen carefully, to share my knowledge, and to advocate for the highest standard of care, which we all deserve,” he said. “By empowering patients with knowledge, they become partners in their care.”
A referral is required to see a dermatologist, so talk with your primary care provider about getting an appointment, said PBMC.
