It's Psoriasis Awareness Month, so we'd like to share with you a few recent Windsor Dermatology success stories...
Bowler Gets Back to the Lanes
Recently a 47 year old male with psoriasis on 40% of body complained of hand stiffness and finger swelling secondary to psoriatic arthritis. He was depressed, stayed home, had difficulty working and couldn’t bowl anymore due to swollen fingers.
He was treated in a clinical trial with amazing results. His psoriasis cleared completely, his fingers improved and he could go work—and bowl again!

From Painful Psoriasis to Enjoyable Summer
One patient presented in our office suffering with over 20% of his body covered in painful psoriasis. He was treated three times a week with light treatments in combination with Humira. Within three months, he only has a small plaque on his lower back. The patient is so thankful to have regained his quality of life—pain free! He has since discontinued light treatments and is enjoying his summer. The patient is extremely happy, along with the physician and nurses.

Research Trial Helps Fight Psoriatic Arthritis
A patient presented in our office with debilitating psoriatic arthritis. He had difficulty holding a pen and writing. Within four weeks of being on a Humira research trial, the patient was able to resume his normal daily living functions. He is extremely happy for the difference we made in his life.

Patient Has New Outlook On Life
A 20 year old patient came in to our office with no insurance. She had severe plaque psoriasis covering 80% of her body surface. She was a definite candidate for the Enbrel clinical trial. Within 12 weeks, her psoriasis became 75% better. She has a new outlook on life.

Welcome Our New Doctors – Dr. Brian Keegan and Dr. Wendy Myers
Not only are we celebrating 25 years of medical care this month, we are also pleased to announce the addition of two new physicians. Brian Keegan, Ph.D, M.D. and Wendy Myers, M.D. will join the practice this summer, creating an all-physician staff.
Dr. Brian Keegan received his M.D. and PhD from New York University School of Medicine. He completed his dermatology residency at University of Miami School of Medicine. He brings with him expertise in geriatric dermatology and, skin cancer.
Brian’s wife, Debbra, is an OB-GYN who specializes in in-vitro fertilization. Because of this, Dr. Keegan has developed an interest/expertise in "dermatosis of pregnancy,” mainly rashes that occur in women while they are pregnant. Also, having trained in Miami, he has developed expertise in chronic solar damage, skin cancer and caring for the skin of the elderly. He has extensive experience with laser rejuvenation of chronic solar damaged skin and will bring that to Windsor Dermatology.
Dr. Brian Berman, Dr Keegan’s mentor at University of Miami said Dr. Keegan is a "doctor's doctor." His calm demeanor, comfort with patients and clear communication will make him an asset to our practice.
Dr. Wendy Anne Myers grew up in central New Jersey and returned home to complete her M.D. from UMDNJ in 2004. She completed her dermatology residency at University of Vermont.
Patients may find this interesting—she is the only full time female dermatologist between Princeton and Freehold. We believe that due to the sensitive self-esteem issues that often accompany skin conditions, female patients may be more comfortable with a female dermatologist. Dr. Myers will also help us be more accommodating to our patients’ time limitations by seeing patients in the evenings and on Saturdays.
To amplify the capabilities of the Psoriasis Treatment Center of Central New Jersey, Wendy has done clinical research in psoriasis under the direction of world-renowned psoriasis expert Dr. Alice Gottlieb.
