Creating a Personal Touch
In 2008, Ehrlich opened the Dermatology and Laser Center in Manhattan Beach, California, where she offers a full spectrum of medical and cosmetic treatments. Ehrlich treats all her patients personally and with a full array of the most cutting-edge laser technology.
Ehrlich is able to customize each and every treatment to fit the personal needs of each individual patient. “We care for every patient in a unique way, and choose treatments that are best suited to the individual, not a cookie-cutter approach. Every patient who makes an appointment with me deserves my personal skill, to receive the benefit of my years of training and artistic expertise,” she says.
Ehrlich also places an emphasis on a well-trained, caring, and empathetic team. The contributions of her staff and their incredible skills in providing attention and care to her patients are integral to the overall atmosphere and happiness of the patients in her practice. “My team is the most important part of delivering world-class care to our patients. Not only do they anticipate the patient’s every need, but they also make coming to work a pleasure for me every day.”
Ehrlich’s love of the arts allows her to combine medicine with a natural-looking result. Ehrlich says, “My goal is that you look great, refreshed and rejuvenated, without looking ‘done.’ My patients look like themselves, as they did
10 years ago.”
Her outside interests include photography and sculpting. Her work has been shown in exhibition and competition in New York and New Jersey. Ehrlich speaks fluent Hebrew and conversational French.
