The Center for Hyperhidrosis at Columbia University Medical Center has been a leader in the diagnosis and treatment of hyperhidrosis in the New York Metropolitan area for over 5 years. Our commitment to this disorder is evident in our team approach to hyperhidrosis. Over this time, our surgical approach has evolved to decrease the incision size, reduce the post operative recovery time, and hasten return to full activity.

Dr. Lyall Gorenstein, a board certified Thoracic Surgeon, directs the Center for Hyperhidrosis at Columbia University Medical Center. Dr. Gorenstein is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Columbia University Medical Center, and is the Director of Minimal Access Thoracic Surgery. Dr. Gorenstein employs video-assisted, or minimal access, techniques to many surgical procedures in the chest which previously required larger incisions to be performed.

Dr. Grossman is board certified in both dermatology and internal medicine, and has experience with all methods of non-surgical therapy for palmar hyperhidrosis, including Botox® therapy.
