John G. Zampella, MD

As a board-certified dermatologist at NYU Langone, I am committed to offering personalized, compassionate care to all my patients. My passion lies in men’s health and LGBTQ+ healthcare, with a focus on skin conditions that uniquely affect these groups. I practice at the Preston Robert Tisch Center for Men’s Health, where I aim to foster an environment where patients feel at ease seeking the care they need.

My expertise is in addressing skin conditions such as psoriasis, lichen sclerosus, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). I also tackle dermatological issues like acne and hair growth challenges in transgender individuals. With my comprehensive training and years of experience, I am equipped to provide specialized care tailored to these unique concerns.

Throughout my career, I have adopted a proactive approach to healthcare, emphasizing prevention and early detection. I am dedicated to enhancing healthcare outcomes for all my patients, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community. As the chair of the American Academy of Dermatology’s LGBTQ Expert Resource Group, I participate in initiatives that encompass treatments like HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). These treatments are preventive measures against HIV and other STIs.

My journey into medicine began with my medical training and residency. Born and raised in upstate New York, I was drawn to dermatology due to its direct impact on patients’ quality of life. As a part of NYU Langone, I work collaboratively to ensure comprehensive and coordinated care for my patients. I believe in treating the individual, not just the condition, and I am committed to providing inclusive, affirming care that respects and understands each patient’s unique health journey.
