Metropolitan Dermatology Expands Into Barnegat

BARNEGAT TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Metropolitan Dermatology announced the opening of a new office in Barnegat, New Jersey, according to a report published by PR Newswire M&A on Monday, Oct. 5, 2026. The practice has operated for more than 20 years, serving communities throughout New Jersey and Staten Island. This new location provides patients of all ages in Ocean County with convenient access to comprehensive medical and surgical dermatologic care.

The office is situated at 249 S. Main Street, Suite 5, Barnegat, NJ 08005, inside Garden State Medical Center. To accommodate patient schedules, early morning and evening appointments will be available. Appointments begin in October, and the practice offers same-day visits for urgent concerns such as rapidly changing moles, severe rashes, skin infections, and sudden hair loss. Walk-ins are also welcome during regular business hours. Metropolitan Dermatology is a comprehensive dermatology practice providing medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatologic care at locations throughout New Jersey and Staten Island, New York. The practice is committed to delivering high-quality, personalized care to patients of all ages and offers a broad range of services addressing the health and appearance of the skin, hair, and nails.

New Providers And Surgical Services

As part of the Barnegat expansion, Metropolitan Dermatology added three experienced dermatology providers to its roster: Lisa Altman, FNP-BC; Alyssa Dallicardillo, APN-C; and Deborah Pontoriero, APN-C. This integration enables their former Ocean County patients to maintain continuity of care with trusted providers while gaining access to the broader clinical resources of Metropolitan Dermatology.

In addition to these providers, Dr. Alex Doctoroff, founder and medical director of Metropolitan Dermatology, will deliver surgical dermatology services directly at the Barnegat site. Dr. Doctoroff serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Columbia University Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital. His presence on-site expands local access to surgical treatments for skin cancers and other dermatologic conditions.

Advanced Skin Cancer Treatments Planned

The practice is working to introduce Mohs micrographic surgery and image-guided superficial radiation therapy (IG-SRT) services to the Barnegat office as soon as possible. These specialized options will broaden the scope of advanced skin cancer care available within the local community.

"We are excited to bring Metropolitan Dermatology to the Barnegat community and to welcome Lisa, Alyssa, and Deborah to our practice," said Dr. Doctoroff. "This expansion allows us to provide patients in the area with convenient access to high-quality dermatologic care while preserving the continuity and personal relationships that are so important to them. I also look forward to providing surgical dermatology services at this location and expanding its skin cancer services to include Mohs surgery and IG-SRT as soon as possible."

Scope Of Care And Patient Access

The Barnegat office delivers a full suite of services mirroring the broader practice offerings. The clinical scope covers medical dermatology for adults and children, comprehensive skin cancer screenings and treatments, and diagnosis and management for conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, hair loss, and nail disorders. The location also supports cosmetic dermatology and skin-rejuvenation treatments.
