Evan A. Rieder, MD

I was raised in Philadelphia and completed medical school training at the University of Pennsylvania. Since then, I have lived in New York City and worked at NYU Langone, first training in a residency program in psychiatry and then completing a residency in dermatology.

Now I serve as a full-time faculty member in the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology, where I practice both general and cosmetic dermatology, as well as skin and laser surgery. I treat people who have a wide variety of skin conditions—such as acne, psoriasis, and skin tumors—and have a particular interest in the management of nail diseases and men’s dermatologic conditions.

As one of only a few physicians in the United States who is board certified in psychiatry and dermatology, I take a thoughtful approach to cosmetic dermatology and have a unique perspective on patient experience. My training allows me to tap into another, often subtler, aspect of medicine when helping people manage skin conditions. For example, I may notice underlying depression in an adolescent with acne or the effect stress can have on an inflammatory skin disorder. Interventions in these areas can improve patient experience and quality of life.

I am a member of the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, the Council for Nail Disorders, and the American Psychiatric Association.
