Dermatology Center of Atlanta

I have been a client for many years and couldn’t be happier. I have used them for routine skin checks, botox, filler, peels, as well as removal of questionable areas of skin on my jawline. I have complete faith in Dr. Gray and absolutely love Renee (lasers) and Kim (peels/​coolsculpt). They never try to «upsell» me and have even talked me out of things. The office is spotless and very pleasant. The ladies at the front desk are very welcoming and call me by name.

Dr. Gray is busy and sees many clients, for sure. It is difficult to get an appointment with her and you have to plan in advance, but I have been very happy with treatment by others when she is not available. Parking is a bit of an issue, but I always seem to find a spot. These are the only things keeping me from a 5 star rating.
I feel like Dr. Gray and her staff have given me excellent care, both medical and cosmetic and would highly recommend them to anyone.

nothing to complain
parking space is very limited.

I went for a skin problem on my shoulders and was seen by Dr. Sanders Callaway. He took a biopsy and later prescribed Accutane to fix what appeared to be ingrown tiny hair follicles. After several months and multiple visits the problem still persisted. I finally took matters into my own hands and researched my problem on the internet. 2 A few hours later I was self-​diagnosed with a fungus. A few days and a bottle of Selsun blue later I was completely asymptomatic.
Later I learned how dangerous Accutane is and I started to get really pissed off. Sanders Callaway is incompetent at best, and grossly negligent at worst. This guy has no respect for the hippocratic oath and should not be practicing medicine.

Staff was friendly, helpful, and timely. The doctor, on the other hand, was rushed and clearly didn’t listen to a thing I said. She even asked me a question that I had already answered. They seemed determined to remove something that wasn’t a problem or even irritating. When diagnosing a different problem, she again didn’t listen and proceeded to prescribe a medicine that had already been tried by my family doc and had not worked. Which is why I decided to try a specialist.
They also attempted to remove two small spots with two different methods of removal, and both spots still remain weeks later.
So the trip was a complete waste of time and money.
But they do have a lovely display of high priced lotions and sunscreen at the checkout.

I have been to this office a few times in the past and my experiences have always been pleasant. The office is beautiful and the ladies at the front desk are always very welcoming. However, I am disappointed to say that my most recent visit has left a terribly bad taste.
I had called in for an appointment a few weeks ago. Unfortunately my old doctor is no longer there and I was told the next available appointment would be about two months out, unless I want to see the nurse practitioner instead. I should’ve just waited but my skin was really bothering me so I said sure, I will see the nurse practitioner.
The NP was 20 minutes late to my appointment (not a fan but this isn’t anything out of the norm with doctor visits) and spent 10 minutes with me before she shoved me with her assistant nurse. She came in, took one look at my face and determined that I have Rosacea, and said, and I quote:
«There’s this cream you can take. My nurse will tell you about that.»
«There’s also this cream you can use. My nurse will tell you more about that».
«There’s also the option of V Beam laser. My nurse will tell you more about that.»
Then she asked me: «So do you want to do the cream or the laser?»
At that point I was very irritated so I told her I cannot make an informed decision because I don’t know a single thing about any of these options. I asked a few questions but was told, «My nurse will just go over those with you». She wrote me a prescription for a topical cream and left the room. Mind you, she wrote the prescription even though I hadn’t even remotely expressed which treatment I would like to pursue, because I hadn’t been educated about them what-​so-​ever.
Appalled about her attitude and lack of professionalism. I sat there wondering why she even saw me for my appointment if she had no intention of addressing any concerns a patient has. Her nurse however, was very professional and patient. She talked me through all my options, answered all of my questions and gave me tips on how to manage my condition.
I got the prescribed topical, $ 170 for one month worth of supply. Expensive much? After a few weeks of use, I didn’t see any improvements. I then called two friends and got the name of their dermatologists, made my appointments (these are both top ranking dermatologists in Atlanta, with great reviews on Unilocal btw) and what do you know? I do not have Rosacea. I have a very minor condition that was only temporary because I had excessive sun exposure. $ 30 worth of topical and oral medication and my skin returned to normal.
I want to be clear the 3 star rating is for the patient nurse that displayed professionalism. The nurse practitioner, however, not only she half assed through my consult, she gave me the incorrect diagnoses that resulted in unnecessary expense for me. Zero stars.

This dermatology office is fantastic. Dr. Gray and Lisa Foreman are both wonderful. The nurses are extremely polite and knowledgable as well like Shanna Gordon. I have been going here for several years. Now my husband and three young children all go this practice. Cannot recommend enough!

Nice office, friendly staff.
However, I was not pleased with the services that I was provided by the doctor that I saw. As I described the issue that I was having, I made it very clear that I was not interested in taking an oral medication. After the approximate three minutes that the doctor spent on this particular issue, she quickly wrote me a prescription for an oral medication. :(
I believe this particular doctor was new to the practice at the time I was seen by her. Perhaps she hadn’t quite been acclimated to the usual practices of this office, as it seems my experience was very different than the experiences of others.

I first went here for an appt. with Dr. Gray to have some moles on my face removed & also found out that I have rosacea.
Dr. Gray & all of the staff are welcoming & friendly! I feel very comfortable going here & feel I have received excellent care from them.
I will continue to go here to treat & manage my rosacea &/​or any other skin problems that might come up in the future.
Thank you Dr. Gray & staff!!!

Today was my first visit here based upon Unilocal reviews. I must say that I was very impressed. The facility was nice and everyone caring and friendly. One of the best Dr. experiences I’ve had. The atmosphere is also soothing with sounds of running water and music.
I went in with a laundry list of questions Shannon and Dr. Magee sat and listened to me patiently, answered all my questions, and gave me helpful hints of things that I can do at home. I enjoyed the experience.

I love Dermatology Center of Atlanta. The staff is kind, patient, efficient, professional, smart, and pleasant. I have gone there for years and will continue to be a patient, even when I move further away. Dr. Gray, Dr. Magee, and Dr. Foreman are wonderful doctors!
Edit: Dr. Gardner is no longer with DCA.
However, the entire practice would benefit if Dr. Stephanie Gardner improved her bedside manner. She treats her patients as if we’re not even in the room. She is a condescending conversation bulldozer. Dr. Gardner rushes to leave the room before she’s even entered it. She scoffed when I asked her to slow down so I could make a note about the new prescriptions she put me on. Dr. Gardner always has appointment openings. Why, you say? Because no one wants to see her. Three other patients I know have specifically told me that they refuse to see her. While Dr. Gardner has lost sight of who pays her salary, she is an intelligent woman who will hopefully one day make a goal for herself to become a nicer person.
Otherwise, DCA is an incredible facility!

Dr. Grey has been taking care of my dermatological needs for the past 16 years. She never seems to get older, and I do! However, she recently helped me recapture some of my youth back with just one Botox treatment. The proceedure was virtually pain free, took less than 1 minute, no redness or brusing and I my forehead is wrinkle free. Thank you Dr. Grey and staff! Rosie M.

Their team is rude, very condescending. Always an issue getting seen on time (or even close to on time)… all they care about is the money they will get from patients. I won’t come back to this place– the front staff is just awful and the few times I have been here I felt like I was treated badly. Their hours are also very difficult for those who work.

Awesome!
I went in on Tuesday for my annual checkup and I was greeted by the friendly front desk staff.
Very minimal wait time to see Dr. Magee. She performed a very comprehensive exam and noticed two spots that she thought needed a biopsy. After a painless shot and scrape, I was on my way back to the office.
I would recommend DCA to anybody that is looking for a qualified and patient friendly group of dermatologists!

Nice office and staff. It was a very rushed environment though.

I was hesitant when my physician recommended Dr. Grey at Dermatology Center for a problem that I have had several times over the last ten years.
I have visited three other doctors to treat this rash with no good results and had given up, but surprisingly Dr. Grey seemed to understand this issue and her treatment has worked (so far).
The woman who sets the appointments (as of this writing) is very professional and accomdating. She actually called me back when she had a cancellation and was able to get me in earlier. That was much appreciated.
Dermatology Center of Atlanta is a short drive north of the intersection of Medlock Bridge Rd and State Bridge Rd (Pleasant Hill for you all coming from Duluth). Another great point is the option of doing your pre-​patient paperwork on their website (oddly, only compatible with Explorer). Their building is nicely appointed inside and seems to run smoothly. (I generally appreciate a nicely appointed office though don’t find it to be a personal requirement — and I realize that it is probably entirely funded by those with cadillac insurance plans, which is not really me.)
Lastly, There were several other men coming in for treatment so don’t feel like this is for women only.

Went for my first visit for a skin cancer screening. Office is very easy to find and parking is good. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the staff and the attention to scheduling. My entire visit only took 30 minutes and I did not feel rushed. Dr McGee is very thorough and makes you feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!

I had been to this office before, but I waited 5 years between skin cancer screenings (I know, I know) finally going yesterday afternoon. Unlike the other reviewer it took me over a month to get the appointment, but it might be because I saw a doctor, not the nurse practitioner. I wouldn’t have cared either way.
The office is huge, clean and efficient. The staff is friendly.
So I’m in the room with the nurse and she tells me to take everything off and put on the gown, blah blah. I know the drill. She leaves and I do what I need to do, then sit down to wait. Then I glanced to my right and noticed that the blinds were wide open! Are you kidding me??? So, yeah. I totally undressed in front of a wide open window. Thanks a lot. Sure, the window pointed toward the woods, but you never know what kind of creepy bastahd could be hanging out trying to catch a glimpse of my ta-​tas!
After my exam — and 2 quick biopsies — I mentioned this open window to the nurse and she still didn’t close it. I closed it with a quickness before tearing the gown off and getting dressed.
But other than the window episode my appointment was fine. The doctor was fast and efficient, but not super duper friendly. I like super duper friendly, but that’s just me. I kinda felt like she was reading off of a card as she instructed me to get my teeth cleaned twice a year (umm duh?), see my OB/​GYN annually (again…really?) and get an eye exam once a year. It wasn’t just that she said these ridiculously obvious things, but how she said it like it was a speech she’d rehearsed for 20 years. I like personal experiences with doctors, not to be part of an assembly line.
All that — but I will still go back. They know what they’re doing and I guess I’d rather have a good mechanic than a nice one. Same thing here.

Clean, well-​kept, professional, friendly, prompt, and good bedside manners … All the things that I experienced at Dermatology Center of Atlanta. I had a full body mole scan, and they were very professional about the procedure, and they took me in within a week from when I called to request an appointment.
I saw the nurse practitioner, and she was thorough and answered all the questions I had. She completed a biopsy which was done in lightening speed. However, I only wish that she had thoroughly explained to me what she would be doing by completing the biopsy. She asked if I wanted the biopsy, and I said sure, and the next thing I know is she’s walking toward me with a needle. Wait, wait??!
But all in all, great experience, and I will definitely be going back.
For sure a yay.
