Dr. Eisen is a board certified dermatologist and fellowship trained dermatologic surgeon with many years’ experience in the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa.

Since that time he has treated many patients with the disease and authored several papers in scientific journals offering advice on recognizing the disease and treatment recommendations. One of Dr. Eisen’s greatest satisfactions is seeing patients with this debilitating disorder improve after beginning treatment.
