Emily C. Milam, MD

As a dermatologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to educating and empowering my patients with dermatology knowledge. My goal is to improve patients’ skin conditions, confidence, and overall quality of life.

I specialize in treating a wide variety of chronic skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and vitiligo. My clinical interests lie in complex eczema and contact dermatitis. Allergic contact dermatitis, a skin reaction triggered by exposure to substances like fragrances, plants, preservatives, or metals, is an area where I have developed significant expertise. Utilizing detailed patient histories, thorough examinations, and patch testing—the gold standard for diagnosing allergic contact dermatitis—I work diligently to identify and help patients avoid their specific allergens.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, emphasizing the importance of patient education and involvement in their care. I am committed to fostering strong partnerships with my patients, ensuring they feel heard and supported. My dedication extends to teaching; I cherish the opportunity to educate residents and medical students, having completed my medical school and dermatology residency at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

My educational background and training at NYU Grossman School of Medicine have equipped me with the skills and knowledge to provide top-tier care. Being part of NYU Langone allows me to collaborate with a diverse team, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care for my patients.
