Top Doctors —
Dr. Kerline Marcelin brings more than two decades of surgical medical experience to Hudson Aesthetics MD, having performed thousands of intricate microscopic ocular surgeries in and around the eyes before turning her precision and medical judgment toward aesthetic medicine.
Her interest in aesthetics grew from a recurring observation in her surgical practice: patients wanted to look as well as they felt. That led her to pursue board certification in Aesthetic Medicine and to found Hudson Aesthetics MD as a physician-led practice built on the same standards of safety and clinical judgment she has held throughout her surgical career.
She describes collaborating with patients on something as personal as their self-image as "a profound privilege" — an approach that shapes how treatment plans are built at Hudson Aesthetics MD: individualized, conservative by default, and centered on results that read as the patient, simply well-rested and well cared for.
A minute inside the practice in Cortlandt Manor — the entrance, the wall of qualifications, the waiting room and the treatment rooms.
Filmed at the practice. The answer takes under two minutes — the full interview, on her career in ophthalmology and what she has watched change in it, runs to fourteen.

Castle Connolly's lists are built from nominations by other doctors and reviewed by its own physician-led team. Physicians cannot pay to be selected — which is what makes an unbroken run worth reading.

Hôpital Sacré Coeur, Milot — with the Crudem Foundation · January 2014
A week operating on glaucoma patients, inserting drainage devices for people whose sight would otherwise have gone. She traveled with a group of ophthalmologists and came home intending to bring more of them next time.
“I hope that once I return, others will be inspired and I will be able to get more people involved.”
She had been heading for psychiatry. Then she watched patients who arrived led by the hand walk out of the hospital on their own after surgery.
“Seeing them walk on their own after an operation — it’s freedom. Vision gives independence not just to the patient but also to their caretakers.”
Every treatment plan is built on a physician-led assessment of anatomy, skin health, and goals — not a menu of add-ons.
Subtle, natural-looking enhancement is the standard, not the exception. Results should read as well-rested, not "done."
Treatment plans consider what supports skin over years, not just the next event — combining in-office technology with sound skin care.
Daily Voice · January 2014
Reported as she left for Hôpital Sacré Coeur in Milot with the Crudem Foundation, to operate on glaucoma patients who had no other access to surgery.
“You could say that I am going back to my roots. But more than that, going back to Haiti is coming full circle to what got me started in ophthalmology in the first place.”

Her Exceptional Women in Medicine interview: growing up first-generation Haitian-American, the mission that turned her to ophthalmology, and why she treats understanding as part of the treatment.
“It’s not just about giving information, it’s about making sure patients truly understand their choices and the consequences of their decisions.”
