Physician recommendation request

Can anyone recommend a physician in New York City who is knowledgable about the treatment and management of genital HSV-1?  Preferably a dermatologist because of another skin condition I have.  Thanks!

dr jeffrey gilbert  in the bronx is someone I've heard good things about in the past. I believe he used to be the medical consultant for the asha HELP group when it was still in existence.  I have no idea if he is still in that area or even still practicing medicine but it would be a start.

any dermatologist should be able to handle your issues. you already have a + hsv1 lesion culture so diagnosis isn't the issue.  because of the complications from your psoriasis, shouldn't be too hard to find a non-steroidal treatment of the psoriasis to keep the hsv1 from reoccurring too often.
