Since completing training in 2001, Dr Herbst has focused his practice on the treatment of skin cancer. He has treated over 20,000 skin cancers with the Mohs technique and prides himself not only on the precise removal of the cancer but also in providing the most aesthetic repair. He has been invited to share his expertise multiple times with other doctors as an instructor in seminars on post Mohs surgery reconstruction at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology and been invited to lecture on skin surgery at local dermatology meetings. 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.
