Catherine Tawfik, DO

I was drawn to dermatology because of the profound impact that skin health has on both physical and emotional well-being. As a dermatologist, I am grateful for the opportunity to help my patients feel healthy and confident in their skin. I believe every patient deserves compassionate, personalized care that is tailored to their individual goals and needs.

My approach is centered on listening and building meaningful relationships with my patients. I strive to create an environment where every patient feels heard, understood, and comfortable discussing their concerns. Whether you are seeking care for a chronic skin condition or something new, my goal is for you to feel welcomed, supported, and confident in the care you receive. 

I have experience in medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology and enjoy caring for patients of all ages, from infancy through adulthood. After completing my dermatology residency training at Stony Brook, I chose to remain on as faculty and continue to serve the Long Island community. I am proud to be part of an academic medical center, where I remain actively involved in medical education and stay current with advances in dermatology. This enables me to provide my patients with thoughtful, evidence-based care that reflects the latest treatments and best practices. I look forward to partnering with you to help you achieve and maintain healthy skin at every stage of life.
