Skin is the mirror of your health. When it’s vibrant and well, you feel amazing. But if you’re anxious, embarrassed or frustrated with the condition of your skin, it’s uncomfortable! And it can hurt your confidence, too.

Uncover the truth about the health of your skin.
Develop a clear plan of action to attain radiantly healthy skin, and vital inner health, too.
Know that you have a trusted partner in your health care journey who can compassionately guide you in making the best decisions for your total well-being.
Skin health doesn’t have to be scary or uncertain. Our patients say that working with us is a huge relief! We are experts in our field, and we listen compassionately, give you honest answers, and provide the best and most comprehensive treatment available on the planet, tailored to your specific needs.
Heal your skin. Rejuvenate your life.
Our Practice
Our goal is to provide exceptional dermatologic care and compassionate guidance to all of our patients. We are also dedicated educators and advocates for healthy skin for everyone.
We met almost 30 years ago when Dr. Orlinsky was a student of Dr. Simmons-O’Brien’s at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Forging a friendship initially over fashion, it quickly expanded into one of mutual respect and admiration. Soon thereafter, our husbands and subsequent children became fast friends.
A “Mom & Mom” Practice
Nearly three decades later, we continue to be close friends and colleagues, operating a “mom & mom” dermatology practice in Towson, Maryland. Our patients are like family to us, and many have been coming to us for decades, along with their parents, children, siblings and friends. Being like-minded, we treat everyone with the warmth and personal attention that we would want from our doctors, too.
A “Pay it Forward” Approach
We have been fortunate to receive the highest education from the most skilled mentors in the world in the fields of medicine and dermatology. We are both trained in internal medicine (rare among dermatologists), and are graduates of Ivy-league schools. And though we both have busy lives tending to patients, caring for our own children and families, and teaching, we also make it our mission to “pay it forward” by mentoring others, and volunteering our time to nonprofits and organizations that raise skin health awareness, and other community and global charitable organizations.
It’s our honor and duty to keep the lineage of excellent dermatology alive for future generations. And it’s our greatest joy to support you and your loved ones in finding radiant skin health now.
