"Dr. Cotliar is a rarity – a physician who specializes in treating skin disorders in the smallest of patients. Pediatric dermatology was not identified as a subspecialty until 2004, when he became one of the very first physicians to be formally certified. Still today, he’s one of fewer than 240 board-certified pediatric dermatologists nationwide, and is consistently voted one of the Best Doctors in America.
“Dermatology is a visual specialty,” he explains. “It’s perfect for teleconsults and I believe will be the model for the future as we provide specialty care to patients in remote locations who otherwise could not access it or who would have a long wait for an appointment.”
Case in point: He and a few other DirectDerm physicians recently used the visual technology to assist a physician in Haiti who was on a mission trip and needed the expertise of highly specialized dermatologists."
