About

Dr. Gary Goldenberg is a board-certified dermatologist practicing in New York, New York, specifically on the Upper East Side. He specializes in medical and cosmetic dermatology, with an expertise in hair loss. Dr. Goldenberg and his wife, Dr. Kristina Goldenberg, approach aesthetic medicine with a "less-is-more" philosophy. They believe good aesthetic care is about "seeing the person in front of you clearly," emphasizing listening closely, setting realistic expectations, and understanding the entire patient before treatment begins. This approach reflects his long-standing commitment to excellence, integrity, and patient care. The practice systematically tests and rates skincare products, from viral serums to medical-grade classics, on a 1-5 scale, with a 5/5 from both doctors signifying a strong endorsement. Dr. Goldenberg trusts treatments like microneedling combined with exosome therapy for hair restoration, using it on himself to stimulate follicles and support real regrowth. He also emphasizes that SPF is not optional and should be packed, worn, and reapplied consistently. For cosmetic results, he often finds combining different treatments can achieve smoother, fuller, and more refreshed skin.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Gary Goldenberg

Sourced directly from Dr. Gary Goldenberg's social posts and replies.

What are dermal fillers used for and what areas can be treated?
Dermal fillers are used for restoring volume, smoothing fine lines, and enhancing facial contours. They can be applied to areas such as cheeks, lips, jawline, or under eyes. Treatments are quick and involve minimal downtime.

What are Dr. Goldenberg's recommended non-surgical treatments for hair loss?
Dr. Goldenberg considers PRP (platelet rich plasma) therapy, exosome therapy, and consistent follow-through to be highly effective, non-gimmick treatments for real hair loss, thinning hair, or a receding hairline. PRP therapy utilizes a patient's own blood's growth factors to stimulate hair follicles and support regrowth. Exosome therapy amplifies cellular regeneration. The combination of PRP and exosome therapies, sometimes with microneedling, is considered one of the most effective non-surgical hair loss treatments, suitable for early thinning in both men and women, leading to real, visible regrowth over time.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$29,746

Payments

106

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Gary Goldenberg received $29,746 across 106 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
