Thank you for your patience and understanding.
The logistics of ensuring the health of both our patients and our practice during the past few months have been challenging. We are extremely grateful to all of our skilled and dedicated staff who made it possible to care for patients in need. In particular we want to thank our front desk supervisor Mercedes Amaya, our medical assistant supervisor Wendy Cruz, our bookkeeper Jackie Bornstein, and our office manager, Maria Anzaldo - who worked night and day to pull everything together.
Could your sunscreen be hurting the environment? There are now a number of laboratory studies that associate certain UV filters in chemical-based sunscreens - specifically oxybenzone and octinoxate – with the bleaching of coral reefs. While the lab setting may have limitations, there is agreement amongst most experts that more studies are needed. Many states are now considering legislation to ban the sale and use of chemical sunscreens that contain the incriminated ingredients. What should one do in the meantime for protection from the sun? Fortunately, there are many effective mineral-based sunscreens on the market - containing zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. Also remember to seek shade, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure between 10am and 3pm. Additional information on sunscreens and sun protection is available at www.aad.org/sunscreen
