Silvina Pugliese, MD

I specialize in dermatology, treating a wide array of skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, alopecia, and hidradenitis suppurativa. My practice includes comprehensive full-body skin exams to diagnose skin cancers, particularly for high-risk patients and those who have undergone solid organ transplants. My primary clinical focus is oncodermatology, where I address skin reactions in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. Within this field, I have a particular interest in cutaneous graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and cancer survivorship. Additionally, I provide care for hospitalized patients with various skin conditions.
My practice is grounded in treating each patient as I would a family member. I prioritize listening and understanding patients’ primary concerns and goals to collaboratively create a holistic and evidence-based treatment plan. While the field of medicine rapidly evolves with advancements in technology, I maintain a steadfast commitment to human connection, drawn from the core values that inspired my pursuit of medicine.
After spending over a decade at Stanford Dermatology, I returned to my roots on Long Island and joined NYU Langone. Here, I am part of an exemplary team dedicated to delivering the highest quality of care to the community where I grew up.
Medicine is more than a profession to me—it’s a calling. The privilege of being entrusted to make a positive difference during a patient’s vulnerable moments is one I hold with great respect. Dermatology appealed to me due to its vast scope and the variety of cases encountered in both outpatient and inpatient settings. It is a field that thrives on innovation and creativity, keeping me motivated as a lifelong learner. The visual aspect of dermatology allows for significant improvements in a patient’s quality of life, and there is nothing more rewarding than witnessing a treatment transform a patient’s skin.
My commitment to helping patients is driven by a desire to treat them with the compassion and respect I would afford my own family. By fostering a therapeutic alliance through attentive listening and personalized care, I aim to build trust and rapport with each individual, ensuring they receive the thorough and empathetic care they deserve.
