Skin Care at D'Urso Pediatrics

Dr. Antonietta specializes in treating acne with an integrative approach. Depending on the type, location, and associated symptoms, acne may require treatment with oral medication, topical medication, hormone-modulating medication, a specific skin cleansing regimen, or any combination of these. Dr. Antonietta evaluates our patients with acne, acne scarring, or both to create a tailored regimen for each patient's individual needs. She is PCA-certified skin professional and is trained in chemical peel science and technique.

New Patient Membership Requests to the Practice

​

If you are new parents and are interested in choosing us as pediatricians for your newborn, please email our New Patient Care Coordinator- Grace Kennedy - at Kennedy@DursoPediatrics.com or call the office and ask for her. She is in the office Monday through Friday, but if she is not available when you call, she will give you a call back as soon as she is able to.

 

Both doctors see newborns in the nursery at Chester County Hospital, but we require new families to the practice speak to us to confirm insurance information and provide name, addresses, and phone numbers prior to their due date in order to officially add your family to the practice. This will allow us to document your saved place in the practice and immediately confirm that when we get notified by the hospital staff after delivery. For potential new patients born at other hospitals; we require the same prior to delivery call to secure your spot in the practice so that all information is confirmed and your first newborn office  appointment can be immediately and easily made prior to your discharge from the hospital.
