Seeing Red: Best Treatments for a Sunburn

Summer means time outdoors, but it can also mean painful sunburns if we aren’t careful with our skin.

Your Guide to Pregnancy Acne

Turning Back the Clock – For Women Only!

  It is no secret that women have it harder.  First, we get monthly periods well before we need them. Then, we go through pregnancy with its hormone spikes, body stretching, and delivering an entire human being out of a tiny opening.  Just as we are trying to bounce back, menopause strikes to slow us down. The body region hit the hardest is, of course, the female genitourinary system. Women experience vaginal itching, dryness, irritation, poor lubrication, pain during intercourse, ...

My wife is from Brazil and is extremely uncomfortable around doctors in English in the US. However, both Dr. Nadia Kihiczak, and the receptionist, Ania, set my wife at ease immediately with their competence and patience! They explained all procedures and test clearly. So the doctor and the staff at this office are exceptionally well trained. The office itself is spotless and beautiful. Why would you go anywhere else in this neighborhood (Chambers Street). Thanks!

The wait time was minimal. Staff was professional and welcoming. Waiting area and rooms were clean and nice. Dr. Birnbaum gave me a thorough examination of all my sunspots. She explained everything to me as she was examining me. I also had a small mole removed and I didn’t feel a thing. She is professional, informative, and very caring. Now that I have found her, I will not go anywhere else.
