Jessica Krant, MD, MPH, FAAD, FACMS

Jessica Krant, MD, MPH, FAAD, FACLM is a board certified dermatologist in New York City as well as one of the first dermatologists to be board certified in Lifestyle Medicine, a new field of study focusing on six pillars of healthy lifestyle choices to obtain optimal health and healthy aging as naturally as possible.

Dr. Krant’s passion is the overlap of these two fields: achieving healthy aging and healthy skin from within. Knowing that it’s always easy for us to learn what to do, but hard to actually do it since mental health and healthy habits are a two way street, Dr. Krant also became a certified life coach to help her patients and her coaching clients manage life realities and life stressors that get in the way of our health and dreams.

Dr. Krant is currently President of the New York County Medical Society, Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Delegate to the American Medical Association representing Dermatology, and serving on the Medical Advisory Board of Plant Powered Metro New York. She does not see private patients at Downstate or King's County Hospitals, but is proud of serving for more than 20 years as an attending supporting the Dermatology Residents of this great program.
