Dr. Leonard H. Goldberg DermSurgery Associates
Enlightening the World with his Knowledge; Illuminating it with his Smile BY NICK DARLINGTON
I
f anyone can illuminate the room with a smile, it’s Dr. Leonard H. Goldberg. Positive, exuberant, dedicated, generous, and caring are all words that aptly describe him. Perhaps it’s no surprise that his mother told him that he should be a doctor because his personality was perfectly suited for it. Following his mother’s astute advice, Leonard first became an internist but was looking for a sub-specialty. Eventually choosing dermatology, that decision has lead him to a long, illustrious career. Not only has he acquired voluminous amounts of knowledge through his studies and his research, he firmly believes in sharing what he has learned by teaching others and publishing his medical discoveries. Becoming the first Mohs surgeon in Houston and eventually establishing DermSurgery Associates, Dr. Goldberg not only enlightens the lives of others through his knowledge and teachings, but through his generous, caring nature that is reflected in his smile, he illuminates the world in how much he gives back.
