Board Certified, Dr. Schlessinger also sub-specializes in Neuro-Ophthalmology – treating a plethora of hard-to-diagnose disorders including brain-related eye disease and complex problems in the areas that surround the eye. A plethora of other area and even out of state physicians refer to Dr. Schlessinger to care for their patients and family members.  This is truly a testament to his impeccable reputation. Dr. Schlessinger’s referral base extends beyond the North Shore of Long Island to eastern Suffolk County, western Nassau and into Manhattan and even out of state.

The Woodbury office of Schlessinger Eye & Face and The MediSpa is a state of the art medical care facility. Upon entering the office of this top rated doctor and care facility, one is immediately impressed with the modern, clean lines of the office décor, the professional staff and the relaxing music that plays while the waiting room is filled with patients of all ages and backgrounds.

A tour of his state-of-the-art testing and treatment rooms as well as the tranquil MediSpa, reveals the operating room where the staff is busily preparing for the Doctor’s next surgical procedure. Once inside his private office, among the standard degrees, diplomas and certificates, it is easy to take notice of the many community awards and accolades Dr. Schlessinger has received. Those, along with the large selection of family photos seem to be the perfect representation of the way he lives.

On the North Shore of Long Island, there are a wide selection of Doctors to choose from when exploring cosmetic procedure options. What sets Dr. Schlessinger apart is a boutique practice where emphasis is placed on all areas of expertise which are the eyes and upper face.  Dr. Schlessinger is also often called upon by colleagues to assist in the treatment and management of some of their patients who have complex eyelid problems. Patients are given realistic expectations when discussing surgical and non-surgical options.

Dr. Schlessinger is a strong proponent of healthy living and believes patients are their own best advocates in this area. He advises them to limit sun exposure, to use high-quality skin-care products and to exercise regularly. The best surgical candidates are those who strive for this healthy lifestyle and make these healthy everyday choices. He also discourages smoking. “Studies have shown that these healthy habits can optimize results, maintain these results for longer periods of time and decrease the duration of a patient’s healing time.”

This leads us to the opening of The MediSpa at Schlessinger Eye & Face. We asked Dr. Schlessinger how he made the decision to begin offering these services in his Woodbury location.

“Most of us know the tranquility of the Spa environment. I wanted to bring that to my patients, their friends and family members. We actually began offering facials to people who were bringing others to me for a procedure. We thought this would be a great way for them to spend an hour or so instead of waiting in the waiting room watching the flat-screen TV. From there it just grew. We have a wonderful aesthetic staff that people absolutely love.  People who may have started out with a simple facial have become regular Spa clients. We’ve since expanded Spa hours and the menu of services that we offer to include Microdermabrasion, a whole host of facials, eyelash tinting, mineral makeup application and a lot more. The staff is constantly attending seminars to keep up on the latest trends in the world of aesthetics and changing up the services we can offer as the technology changes.”

A renowned surgeon in the field of Oculoplastic Surgery, Dr. David Schlessinger specializes in cosmetic surgery of the face with an emphasis on aesthetic eyelid surgery and facial rejuvenation – both surgical and non-surgical.  Dr. Schlessinger’s can be reached at the medical office or at The MediSpa at Schlessinger Eye & Face.
