About

Dr. Sapna Palep, MD, is a dermatologist practicing medical and cosmetic dermatology in New York, New York. She sees patients at her Soho (75 Spring St.) and Uptown (4 W 58th St.) locations. Dr. Palep's skincare philosophy centers on healthy, science-backed treatments designed to provide long-term support for the skin, emphasizing that skincare is not solely about improving appearance. She treats various dermatological conditions, including acne, rosacea, eczema, and rashes, and offers cosmetic procedures such as Botox, fillers, and laser treatments. Dr. Palep stresses the importance of routine skin screenings and consistent SPF use for early detection, recommending a full body skin exam before summer. She advises that proper hydration begins with using the correct moisturizer, often suggesting Vanicream, Avène, and La Roche-Posay to support the skin barrier. For specific treatments, she notes that Sculptra stimulates the body's own collagen over time, with results evolving gradually. She also uses Fraxel laser treatments to improve skin texture for smoother skin and Excel V laser to treat rosacea, redness, and flushing. The practice provides personalized care, assisting patients with issues like eczema flare-ups by calming, repairing, and protecting the skin barrier.

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 (2024)

$9,616

Payments

27

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Sapna Palep received $9,616 across 27 payments in 2024. 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 Galderma Laboratories, L.P..

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?”
