After 11 year of practice in the New York area Dr. Herbst founded in 2012 the Skin Cancer Center of Fairfield County P.C., a medical practice devoted to the treatment of skin cancer. The mission of this practice is to provide focused care for skin cancer patients involving the most precise removal of the growths with the utmost sensitivity to obtaining the best cosmetic results, in a warm, welcoming, comfortable setting. After 5 very successful years in Norwalk, Dr. Herbst opened in 2016 an additional setting in Branford, CT to accommodate patients from that region.
