Dr. Lebwohl is especially well versed in dermatological diseases related to the autoimmune system and is actively involved in clinical trials of many new dermatologic treatments.
Next month we’ll introduce you to our new Psychological Advisor, Dr. Lila Swell.
“Your identity and your success go hand in hand. Many people sacrifice their identities by not doing what they really want to do. And that’s why they’re not successful.” ~ Dr. Lila Swell
