Meet Dr. Susan C. Fox, MD, FACP. Discover her unique approach combining top-tier internal medicine, preventive care, and expert cosmetic treatments in NYC.
Finding a physician who truly understands the full spectrum of patient care is rare. In a healthcare landscape often divided into narrow specialties, patients frequently find themselves shuffling between different offices for general wellness, preventive screenings, and aesthetic concerns. Dr. Susan C. Fox, MD, FACP, stands out as a practitioner who bridges these gaps seamlessly.
Dr. Fox is an internist who brings a wealth of experience, empathy, and elite training to her practice. She provides comprehensive medical care for both men and women, with a unique dual focus on rigorous internal medicine and advanced cosmetic treatments. Her career trajectory—from a registered nurse to a top-tier physician and Fellow of the American College of Physicians—demonstrates a lifelong commitment to the art and science of healing.
Before she was a doctor, Dr. Susan Fox was a nurse. This is a critical distinction that shapes her approach to patient care today. She began her career in healthcare as a Registered Nurse (RN), earning her Bachelor of Science from Ohio State University. Nursing requires a hands-on, patient-first mentality that emphasizes comfort, listening, and bedside manner.
Dr. Fox carried this foundational experience with her when she decided to advance her training. She earned her medical degree from the prestigious Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. This transition from RN to MD gave her a unique perspective: she possesses the scientific rigor of a top-tier physician combined with the empathetic, holistic view of a nurse.
Her excellence in care has not gone unnoticed by her patients. Dr. Fox has received numerous accolades that reflect her dedication, including the Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2009) and the Patient Choice Award (2009). She was also named one of the Top Ten Doctors in 2012 and received the On Time Doctor Award, signaling a respect for her patients’ time that is often missing in modern medical practices.
Medical credentials matter, and Dr. Fox’s are exemplary. After receiving her medical degree, she completed a demanding medical internship at Presbyterian Hospital in New York. She followed this with residency training at the New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center.
Today, she is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, a qualification that demonstrates her expertise in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. But she didn’t stop at certification. Dr. Fox was elected to Fellowship in the American College of Physicians (FACP).
In her present practice, Dr. Fox sees adult men and women (ages 18 and older) for general medicine. However, her philosophy goes beyond simply treating symptoms as they arise. She is a staunch advocate for preventive medicine and risk-factor reduction.
Her practice emphasizes the “whole patient,” looking at lifestyle factors that influence long-term health. She has a particular focus on the cardiovascular area, helping patients manage critical metrics that determine longevity and quality of life.
Key areas of her preventive focus include: Weight Management: creating sustainable plans for healthy body weight. Physical Fitness: advising on activity levels suitable for individual health profiles. Cholesterol and Blood Pressure: monitoring and managing hypertension and lipids to prevent heart disease. Diabetes Management: helping patients control blood sugar through diet, lifestyle, and medication. Smoking Cessation: providing the support needed to quit tobacco.
By tackling these risk factors aggressively, Dr. Fox helps her patients avoid chronic conditions that can limit their future.
Throughout her career, Dr. Fox has served as a leader in women’s health initiatives. Her experience is deep and varied. Previously, she served as the Director of Women’s Health at the Strang Cancer Prevention Center in New York. In this role, she was at the forefront of cancer prevention strategies, helping women navigate screening and early detection.
Additionally, she was the Director of Women Physicians for Women in Bergen County, New Jersey. This leadership history informs her current practice, where she continues to provide specialized, sensitive care tailored to the unique health needs of women, alongside her general practice for men.
Modern medicine increasingly recognizes that how we feel about our appearance impacts our mental well-being and confidence. Dr. Fox has embraced this by integrating cosmetic medicine into her skillset. Unlike med-spas run by non-medical personnel, Dr. Fox brings the safety and precision of an internist to cosmetic procedures.
She is trained in the cosmetic use of lasers for: Hair Removal: offering long-term solutions for unwanted hair. Skin Rejuvenation: using light therapy to improve skin texture and tone. Spider Vein Treatment: reducing the appearance of veins for clearer skin.
Furthermore, Dr. Fox is an expert in injectables, including cosmetic Botox and fillers. Her understanding of facial anatomy ensures natural-looking results that enhance her patients’ features rather than altering them drastically.
Her expertise in this arena has led to significant leadership roles. Dr. Fox serves as the Medical Director for Skin Laundry and Skinney MedSpa in the NYC Metropolitan area. In these roles, she oversees clinical protocols and ensures that aesthetic treatments meet rigorous medical safety standards.
Dr. Susan C. Fox represents a modern ideal in medicine: a doctor who can manage your blood pressure and your skincare regimen with equal expertise. From her roots as a registered nurse to her status as a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, her career has been defined by a pursuit of excellence and a deep compassion for those she treats.
