Dr. Greenberg enjoys performing cosmetic procedures.  Routinely, Dr. Greenberg is asked for his expertise in improving and enhancing the appearance of patients and clients others who are looking to become a cosmetically better version of themselves.  He has sought additional training by learning from other leading experts in this highly competitive field.   While many other dermatologists have training in the use of Fillers (Restylane®, Perlane® & Juvederm), Botox®, Dysport®, and mole removal; Dr. Greenberg has taken a special interest in the use of Lasers to enhance and improve appearance.  With laser and light based therapies, technology and expertise matter.

Dermatologists are physicians and are the recognized experts in diseases of the skin. By definition, a dermatologist has undergone extensive and specialized training in diseases of the skin.  The typical training of a dermatologist involves the completion of 4 years of medical school, 1 year of internship, and then 3 years of specialized training in dermatology.  You shouldn't trust your skin to anyone but a dermatologist.

H.L. Greenberg, M.D., a Board Certified Dermatologist, is experienced in all facets of dermatology including medical, surgical, and cosmetic procedures. Throughout his medical career, Dr. Greenberg has taken time to train with leaders in the field of dermatology including such locations as Manhattan, Denver, Dallas, and Washington, DC.

Since graduating college with distinction from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and medical school at Wayne State University School of Medicine in downtown Detroit, Dr. Greenberg spent three years as an Internal Medicine resident at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC where he became an Internist, and his interest in dermatology blossomed.

After leaving DC, Dr. Greenberg began his formal dermatology training as a cutaneous oncology fellow and then first year dermatology resident at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Later he transferred to Scott & White of the Texas A&M University Health System where he served as the Chief Dermatology Resident and gained specialized experience in Mohs micrographic surgery. Because of his interest in cutaneous oncology and strong surgical experience, Dr. Greenberg accumulated enough cases in his residency to become an Associate Member in the American Society for Mohs Surgery.

Dr. Greenberg has written multiple journal articles and book chapters on different aspects of dermatology throughout his career including the topics of: lasers in the treatment of scars and striae, cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma, and the use of imiquimod in the treatment of basal cell skin cancers. Additionally, he has received multiple awards for his speaking at dermatology conferences. In an effort to give back to the medical community, Dr. Greenberg serves as Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Nevada School of Medicine where he lectures on dermatology, advises medical students interested in dermatology and has medical resident rotators in his office. Providing excellent care to the people who served in our military is something that Dr. Greenberg has been doing throughout his medical career, and he has enjoyed an affiliation with the Department of Veterans Affairs Southern Nevada Healthcare System where he served as the only dermatologist caring for our Veterans in the Las Vegas community for 5 years.

With his diverse medical background, 11 years of formal medical education, and as a double board certified physician in dermatology & internal medicine, Dr. Greenberg has dedicated himself to the field of medicine and the specialty of dermatology.

“Why did I create Las Vegas Dermatology? Because I wanted to have the type of place where I would want to go as a patient- a caring, educational, warm and hi-tech environment where quality is the most important component. I knew that so long as we provided great quality, and put the patient first, we would be successful! I have seen so many other practices throughout my career doing things that I thought were great and others that I questioned, but in the end I figured that with my focus on providing the best experience for my patients, that Las Vegas Dermatology could assist in providing its patients with a healthier & more beautiful life.”
