Michael Costanzo, APN, Joins Optima Dermatology’s Milford, OH Practice

October 2025

Optima is Excited to Welcome a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner, Michael Costanzo, to the Milford Team!

Michael has been providing dermatology services since 2021, treating a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, eczema, and more, as well as offering skin cancer screenings and treatment. 

Michael graduated from Seton Hall University, earning his Master of Science in Nursing and Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and later became a member of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. Before transitioning to dermatology, Michael was an emergency department registered nurse for six years. 

Delivering the Highest Quality of Care 

Mirroring Optima Dermatology’s mission to treat every patient as we would our family and friends, Michael believes in a patient-centered approach, ensuring everyone he sees feels comfortable and receives a personalized treatment plan. He is committed to providing the highest quality of care to every patient, promoting an environment that is welcoming and attentive.   

We recently had the opportunity to learn more about Michael, his approach, and the path that led him to become a board-certified physician assistant. 

What made you decide to pursue a career in dermatology? What did the path to get there look like for you?    

I thoroughly enjoyed my time working in the emergency department, but I realized I wanted to specialize in an area of medicine that interested me – and that area of interest was dermatology.  

What is your favorite aspect of being an advanced practice nurse?  

My favorite aspect of being an advanced practice nurse is cultivating meaningful relationships within the community and guiding patients through their skin health journey. Skin concerns can affect a person’s peace of mind, comfort, and quality of life. I love being in a position where I can provide both expert care and emotional support.  

What is your approach to treating your patients?   

My approach to patient care is being patient-centered with compassion and collaboration. I ensure every treatment plan is tailored to fit the individual needs of each patient.   

What is your number one tip when it comes to taking care of your skin?    

Wear sunscreen every day. It prevents premature aging and reduces the risk of cancer.  

What is one thing you want your patients to know about you?    

I sincerely care about your skin health and will work with you to achieve the best outcome.  

What do you like to do when you are not in the office treating patients?   

When I am not helping patients with their skin care, I love being a dad, spending time with my children, going to baseball games, hiking, and camping.
