I saw Mara PAC today and just recently moved to Georgia from Florida. I have had chronic hives for the past four months and cannot say enough about how great my experience was!!! I have been to two other practitioners, prior to seeing, Mara, and did not feel heard. She spent a lot of time with me and was the most thorough practitioner I have ever seen, and I have worked in medical for years!! She listened and asked me several questions to try and figure out what was causing my symptoms. If I could put 10 stars, I would!! I highly recommend her!! Thank you so much for your compassion and for actually listening!! I feel relieved already because I found her!!!Thank you!! Trisha H

DONT COME HERE!!!!!!!! The workers at this facility are VERY rude and nasty. I called to ask a question about a certain issue and the worker didn’t even let me finish my sentence. He immediately cut me off and started being all aggressive. I asked for the worker’s name and he hung up the phone on me. I kept calling back and he kept hanging it back up.. That’s very CHILDISH and RUDE for a receptionist to be acting so immature like this at a dermatology office. Don’t come here if you have a bad temper because these workers do not care about their jobs and will literally be all types of rude to you .

Patti is your go-to lady for all your laser hair removal needs! She is amazing, kind, patient, and overall cares about her clients! I will never use anyone else! No more facial hair insecurities since seeing her. She truly is a gem ♥️

I visited Dr.Shelby on 7/7/21 for acne ive been dealing with for the past year and not even a full week later I see a major difference in my skin thanks to the prescription she recommended and face wash! She is very informative and she gave me the choice to choose which option will work best for me! Also, she was honest about the topicals stating they could cause a reaction so I chose a different route which was the a gentle skin wash which works amazing!! Highly recommend visiting her! Thank you so so much

My first visit with Pattie Shaw for laser hair removal was great. She is so kind and knowledgeable. I saw results after just one visit. My next session is already on the calendar. Pattie is the best!

I’ve been going here for over a year and I’ve always had great experiences! I’ve been working with Dr. Curtis and she’s made a huge difference in my skin. She has always made great product and treatment recommendations based on what will provide the most significant results while also potentially a cost effective option. I would definitely recommend!

I totally understand health care settings can be a hurry up and wait. However, I was hoping for better service in a stand alone Dermatology clinic right in Buckhead. Waited 65 minutes for a 10 minute consult. PA was great, and super helpful (thank you!). Staff, please communicate with patients; dont sit patients in a private room and say Dr will be in shortly and leave me in a room for an hour. I have never had to leave a private room to find staff to figure out whats happening with my appointment

Patty who’s does laser hair removal did treatment on my boyfriends face and when I tell you it has worked wonders for his face! I don’t have to pluck hairs out his face and it has resolved most of his folliculitis and acne bumps. She is sweet and kind and I would recommend her most definitely!

I have been coming to Pattie Shaw for two months now for laser hair removal and she is absolutely FANTASTIC. I saw drastic results after one treatment and I’ve tried numerous other laser hair removal services that just never worked. Pattie is an angel and a wizard with the laser wand. You will NOT regret booking with her!

Such a friendly and welcoming staff. Dr. Payne is amazing and takes the time to actually listen and understand what I’m looking for and how to help me every single time I’ve been to see him. Never rushed and his assistants are always friendly and warm. I would recommend Dr. Payne hands down.

Used Patti Shaw for laser and micro needling. Great experience! Highly recommend!

Dr. Mara Grosswald and the whole staff are extremely personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. The energy, genuine care, and generosity exudes through the office. In terms of care, their objective is always the patient’s happiness and I love that. Thank you

Pattie Shaw is an amazing esthetician. She has done wonders for hair removal. Highly recommend her services!

Very hard to get a new patient appointment. Filled out form online and never heard back from anyone, so I called to make an appointment. The person taking my information took my name and was just starting to take my address information and then said she had to put me on hold to check someone out. I ended up hanging up after over 5 minutes on hold. I called back and was transferred to voicemail. Not a good first impression for a new patient. Will be going with a different provider.

Love Dr.Payne! Great bedside manner, very knowledgeable and patient. Great practice!

I have been seeing Dr. Curtis for a few years and she has been great! I am always in and out in a timely manner. Her office is clean and the staff is so friendly. I would highly recommend!

I usually dread going to the doctor, but I love going to this place and look forward to every visit. They offer top-notch services and the staff is amazing. The hospitality and care is like no other. Heres the rundown:Dermatology: I started with Dr. Stephen Krauss, who was wonderful. Once he retired, I transitioned over to Dr. Ashley Curtis, I have visited her a few times and so far so great!Esthetician: Crystal Stoddart is a godsend. My skin is thriving since I started seeing her at Dr. Krauss recommendation. My skin was a hot mess filled with cystic and hormonal acne and with consistency and her miracle hands I am acne free. I am constantly getting compliments on my skin. Every time I see her, my skin just keeps getting better and better and better. She is truly a skin expert. Love her!!!!Laser Hair Removal: Patty Shaw is amazing. Excellent bed-side manner and makes you feel safe and in good hands. She has walked me through the laser hair removal process step by step and is so knowledgable and kind. My laser hair removal sessions have been painless and the excitement I feel knowing that soon I wont have to wax ever again is beyond exciting!! I absolutely adore her! I highly recommend.Hope my review helped and if you havent booked an appointment yet, not sure what you are waiting for!

Perfect experience. seen on time. very clean and spacious waiting area. friendly staff start to finish.wonderful and talented PA Danna Calder is yhe one to request!!!

I have been going to this practice for years now and all of the providers here are fantastic! There doesnt seem to be any skin issue that Dr. K. cant diagnose and treat-his knowledge is over the top. Additionally, I have friends and family members who have seen Dr. Curtis, Dr. Griffin and Dr. Payne and all of them are wonderful and provide top notch care!

Dr . Payne and staff are amazing! He was able to find a regime that allowed my skin to be flawless in a matter of two weeks ! This is the best condition my skin has ever been in . Staff was very sweet and welcoming as well . I was referred by a friend and definitely will keep him in mind in the future . Book now !

I saw Dr. Curtis about a skin problem on my face. Im 60 years old and started having acne looking redness and swelling on my face. I havent had skin problems on my face since I was a teen. She said she didnt really see a problem. I couldnt understand that at all as it was pretty visible. She didnt seem to be concerned about it but said she could help me with my sun damage on my face. I told I wasnt concerned with that. She told her assistant to give me a product to address my concerns. It appears they gave me a free pharma sample product that they wrapped with their own doctors practice label and then charged me $35 for it. I wont be going back.

I went in for acne treatment and they created two new scars smh

Dr. Curtis is an excellent dermatologist that I would highly recommend to anyone. I’ve been dealing with a skin issue for 2+ years which totally puzzled my past dermatologist. As soon as Dr. Curtis saw me, she immediately Diagnosed the issue and within 3-weeks I’m so much better. In addition, Dr. Curtis’ staff is wonderful to work with and truly takes care of the patients. Thank you Dr. Curtis for all you do.

Do not recommend.I had been here for 7 laser hair removal sessions with Dr. Pattie. I initially signed up for 5 sessions which was allegedly supposed to get rid of my unwanted facial hair. I was lured to paying for more sessions and seeing zero improvement in the reduction of hair. It’s almost a year post my treatments and I’ve been left with more hair than i started with. If I could rate the services a zero star, i would and I just wish someone had warned me about it before I signed up. Please refrain from seeking laser help from this clinic.

My daughter sees Pattie Shaw for laser hair removal for her neck and chest. She’s had a 90% reduction in her hair in just a few treatments. IT’s been virtually pain free. I would highly recommend Pattie to anyone in need of this treatment.

I had an appointment with Dr. Karempelis for a skin problem and I was very impressed. Most doctors diagnose the problem and treat the problem. This guy actually took the time to educate me on the condition in a way that was very easy to understand. I now have more alternatives to treat the condition on my own. I highly recommend him!

Dr. K has been treating my family for decades. He is a fantastic diagnostician. SCOTT is extremely caring and down to earth. His expertise in Laser therapy is beyond compare.I cannot give him enough accolades. I trust himwith all my family’s skin care. Extremely knowledgeable. Quality person.

WARNING: I wanted to let you know the outcome of my first visit with Dermatology Associates of Atlanta. My appointment was today and was my last one as well. I unfortunately would not recommend this group for any of your patients. I was seen by Danna Dennis Calder M.M. Sc, PA-C and I can confidently say I have never ever walked out of an appointment until now. Today was an exception, the assistant taking my PMHx did not listen and was impolite and the same is said for PA-C. I have been an RN for over 15 years and have never been treated like this. First, prior to my appointment I took initiative and uploaded all my dermatologist records including my current medical problem list, and current medication administration records all of this within an appropriate time frame so they could be reviewed prior to my appointment as my PMHx is extensive. However, they failed to review any of the above records. Second, I answer all the questioned asked and I was treated as a) I did not know what I was speaking in off, b) I did not have the diagnosis given to me by license physicians both in LA and Tampa. I must say her body language was of an aggressive, agitated individual, during my brief visit she continue to speak with me in an irritated manner. Should have known from the beginning that this was not going to be a good appointment as all the signs where there. The assistant and or nurse or whoever she was impolite, dismissive, and just plainly rude. She stated that my problem and medications given did not make sense and insinuated that I did not know what I was speaking off. In numerus occasions through our meeting I kept referring her to the a) uploaded records and b) even the printed records I brought with me, either way did not matter to her or the PA-C. Regardless, a patient should never be treated like this so I personally and kindly excused myself and asked to leave my appointment. I was asked why and informed then I personally do not want to be treated by anyone who treats their patient in an unprofessional manner and her lack of professionalism and empathy is not tolerable for me at this time. Obviously, she took offense to this and began to say,” hold on, wait a minute, what did I do? I did not do or saying anything and asked her MA the same question” once more I kindly excused myself and left to be checked out. I personally came into the visit to be treated like a human and not an animal. I would recommend for anyone to seek their dermatological needs elsewhere! The only plus was the front desk staff who checked me in, they were amazing and professional but remember they are not treating you 😷! Stay away from the clinician below if you want to be a listened to as a patient and want to be treat with compassion and respect.PROCEED W/CAUTION:DO NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH FOLLOWING PROVIDER BELOW NAME: Danna Dennis Calder M.M. Sc, PA-C

I had an appointment with Delmer Henderson earlier today and it was beyond awful! He did not do a skin analysis, gave me information that I could have read on Google and was absolutely condescending! I asked a question during the brief 7-minute appointment and his response was I just explained that to you so clearly you werent listening. His behavior and tone were totally disgusting, unprofessional and it has completely turned me off from your company. If I could give him zero stars, I would! He is not good for business.

I’ve been going to Dr. Patricia Shaw for laser hair removal as well as electrolysis and have been getting great results with this treatment and would highly recommend her to anyone.

I had been seeing Dr. Payne since I was in high school. Back then, I thought he was the greatest, but as an adult I feel really disappointed with the overall experience at this location. The assisting staff is great but anyone at the counter can be a little rude sometimes. Its annoying to pay $6 for parking, especially because most of your time is spent waiting and not being seen. There was also an issue with my insurance. They were undercharging my copay - no one communicated THEIR mistake to me, instead they just said I owed money on the patient portal without explaining why, I had to call to find out. I felt that since it was their mistake, that I shouldnt be penalized to pay for it. I had to go to another dermatologist to fully understand that I deserved a better dermatology location that completely understood my needs and my skin type.

Aside from the staff being unprofessional and rude. Over the 6 month period I saw Dr. Mara Groswald, my skin went from bad to horrible! I came in the office with some small bumps on the sides of my face assuming it wouldn’t take long or much to clear my skin. However after using her “acne pads” and wash my acne became worse. The even tone pads did nothing for my skin. After having one treatment at the recommended facial clinic -skin medics across the hall- I came out with dark spots all over my Face. I stayed under her care for about a month more and in my last visit when I expressed my frustration she giggled and told me “pigment is hard to treat”. Once I had finally had enough I went to YouTube, bought a $10 Anti dandruff shampoo “Nizoral” and my acne was gone within the week. After using some natural remedies for my dark spots (turmeric and honey) along with getting a new dermatologist my skin has done a complete 180 and less than a month. I would not recommend her for anyone, let alone African American skin. Do not waste your time or money! Her treatment is a guessing game.

Dr Curtis was recommended to me by a friend, and my experience was great! She was very kind and professional, and her examination was very thorough.

I am new to the area, and made an appointment with Ashley Curtis as a new patient. I booked an appointment for a full mole check and some cosmetic laser work, and was assured there would be time for both when I made the appointment. When I arrived, I was told they didnt have time for the mole check, but they could do the laser work. I paid $630 for laser work that didnt do what I was told it would do. The doctor, Ashley Curtis, then submitted a medical claim to my insurance company. I called the office and said they didnt do any medical treatment, as they hadnt had time for the mole check. The office continued to submit the claim to insurance. I have contested the claim as fraudulent with my insurance company, as the visit was cosmetic only. Its no wonder insurance costs so much when there are doctors gaming the system with false claims of medical service. Do not go to this dermatologist.

I had a hair restoration procedure performed by Dr. Griffin in September of 2017. After just over a year, I am ecstatic with the results! I admittedly was a little skeptical about the procedure, but a friend had referred me to Dr. Griffin, and I am so happy that I decided to go forward with the procedure. My hair looks amazing compared to what it was a year ago. I would recommend Dr. Griffin wholeheartedly!

Waited an hour an a half to not be seen. Don’t waste your time!!

Let me just say I am a holistic spa owner and pride myself and staff on exceptional customer service. I was referred to this company from one of my workout partners who spoke very highly of this location. Upon me calling I was prompted to several different departments to choose from. When finally getting the opportunity to select dermatology/tattoo removal I left a voicemail only to never be called back and that was over seven business days. Today I decided to call and spoke to a woman named Crystal Who I expressed my concern to who showed no empathy nor personality. Knowing that the department was closed for tattoo removal she still prompted me to their voicemail without even giving me heads up. Mind you, they are closed on Fridays (Today is Thursday) After leaving a second voicemail I called the main line back hoping to speak with Crystal to ask why would she send to their voicemail instead of simply letting me know they were closed for the day...Another incompetent employee answered the phones this time who spoke over me, and nonchalantly told me that the department was closed and that he would prop me back to the voice message to leave another. Why would I want to leave another voice message? The only reason why I left a second voicemail is because I was unaware that they were closed which Crystal should’ve told me . It’s a hassle just to even give these people business it’s not even worth it . I’ll take my business to Southern vein Institute Of a Atlanta! Please hire new staff to answer calls. A bad taste was left in my mouth before I could even get my foot in the door!

I’ve been seeing Dr.Curtis for a very long time now and my skin has never looked better! She always takes the time to listen to my concerns and gives me all of my options so that I can make an informed decision. All in all Dr. Cutis and staff are the best and I recommend them to everyone!!!

I could not say how Im so thankful to Dr. Delmer during my laser treatment to remove a bad microblading eyebrow. I started my treatment very afraid of it, because I was very traumatized with the microblading results. Dr. Delmer is a very kind person and he was very careful on each session. His assistant is an amazing person as well. Thank you both.

Scheduled a return appointment 1 month from a procedure per my PA. This was to be my third appointment. I arrived on time at opening of business and only 2 other people were there. I landed up waiting 45 minutes before someone came to take me back to a room. As I was walking Bach the person said the PA didn’t know why I was here. I told her that it was a follow up to the procedure I had the month before as the PA wanted to check my progress.When I got to the office another person came in and was starting g to set me up for another procedure (Same as before) and I told her that this was to evaluate the results for last month. She said. Oh. I check with your PA. She’s with another patient and it might be a little while.At this point I realized that my PA was either over worked or not taking notes about her patients and needs for next meetings. Something also similar at the previous meeting was not looked at that she was supposed to see. I had to remind her to check a cancerousSpot on my hand that was removed.All and all I felt more in charge of her patient (me) than she was.I got up and left before she came in. Interestingly I assume she didn’t care as she never called me to find out what happened. Plus the office billed the office visit. I called and got that reimbursed back to my insurance company

I have had great success with Pattie for laser treatments. Definitely recommend!!

This is by far the best practice of physicians and medical professionals that I have encountered! My daughter has been suffering from chronic skin conditions since birth. After seeing many providers with a lack of a diagnosis, we were blessed to find Dr. Payne and Free and are finally getting answers that we have longed for. It is hard as a mother to watch your child suffer and not be able to help. We are very encouraged that by working with Dr. Payne and Free our little girl will have normal skin and her self confidence back! We are thankful for all the guidance and support that Dermatology Associates of Atlanta has provided to our family!! Thank you!

After many, many years as a happy patient here, I had a terrible experience and wont be returning. Having very light skin, I am conscious of any changes and like to have anything of concern checked out. I had a spot on my wrist that I was worried about. I made an appointment with someone at the office, who Ive seen many times in the past. He looked at my wrist and without saying a word to me he proceeded to freeze off the spot. AFTER freezing it off without my consent he told me it was a wart. I didnt get any say in the manner and was so shocked I didnt know what to say. I left so upset at not being given the opportunity to make my own decision about what I wanted to happen with my body.When I spoke to someone over the phone about this incident and the lady was lacking in any empathy and only concerned about me paying my balance. I did pay the balance although I was upset about that too because I was having to pay for a procedure I didnt want and didnt get to choose.

Patty is soooooo good!!!!! I would recommend her to anyone.Im glad I selected her and Dermatology Associates of Atlanta.Thanks, Patty!

Dr. Curtis and her staff are simply amazing. She was patient and thorough. I recommend her services to anyone with skin care concerns.

Dr Payne is the best. He is a good listener. He explained my conditions and treatment options well. I could not be happier with my results.

Was seen by Dr. Payne for several years for skin cancer checks. He always did a thorough job (Im a former tanner), answered my millions of questions (even if I felt they were ridiculous) and inspected every small freckle I have agonized over. Unfortunately my insurance changed... but Id go back to Dr. Payne or any of the other providers there in a heartbeat! All very knowledgeable with skin care issues.

Dr. Curtis is great. I tried something on my hair thinking it would help it grow, instead it took it out. With help from Dr. Curtis my hair is longer and healthier now than it was originally, and I love it.

I would NOT recommend seeing estheticianCaroline Awbrey .. I think she lacks knowledge also she does not do her work nicely rather just want to get done with it attitude she has, She is all nice and goody goody but I would say she does not care !!!

Worse experience I’ve ever had with any medical office of any medical discipline. Everyone in that office was extremely rude and unhelpful. Will not be returning. I did not get to ask any questions, they just wanted me out the door as fast as humanly possible. I don’t care if the acne treatments do actually work, treat me like an actual human being. The front desk ladies were visibly annoyed and obviously hate their jobs. The MA lacked any type of bedside manner.

Of all medical providers, Mara Grosswald, P.A., ranks highest for many reasons. For starters, she has a brilliant medical mind and the best bedside manner. This is probably because she has the rare combination of intuitively knowing the right answers to the most complex medical questions and treats patients like family. In addition, she is a straight shooter that knows how to communicate respect, honesty and a deep sense of compassion that makes you feel like you are the only patient in the world. As a result, she instills a feeling of confidence that you are in the very best medical hands and makes any stress melt away.When you want the best this is who you see. It’s not even a close call. In my experience as a professional man that has seen various medical professionals across the country and over the course of a lifetime I’ve seen no one with her well established expertise, dedication to excellence and very deep genuine concern for patients.

Dr. Curtis is fantastic, and she has helped me develop a treatment plan that works. Her staff is nice, and I have never had to wait. I have been going to her for over one year, and highly recommend her!

Terrible experience yesterday with this practice. My daughter and myself are both patients here. My daughter has been seeing Del, the PA for just over a year. When I found out in late January that her medication is no longer covered under my insurance, I called his nurse to see what the options were. After a couple of days, got a callback and they tried unsuccessfully to get it authorized. His MA then called in another medication, which costs over $600. I did not fill it and called, spoke with the MA who said to try something over the counter which we did. My daughter is also on an oral antibiotic that Del prescribes for her acne. I found out yesterday that Del refused a refill that I had requested from my pharmacy on the antibiotic. I called and left message with no callback. After I spoke to the practice manager, I got a callback from the MA who told me that he will not call it in because we are overdue for my daughters annual exam. I did not realize this-I have 3 kids with busy schedules and did not realize it was overdue. Why didnt someone mention this 3 weeks ago when they were willing to call in a completely new medication?? The MA was rude and then Del came on the line, told me that I was taking up his time that he could be spending with his patients. I told him I was happy to make an appointment and get her in within a week and could he call her in enough medication to get her to the visit. He said no. I asked if it was better for her to go without medication and her acne to glare up before her appointment and he hung up on me. Poor service, total lack of concern for his patient, and terribly rude. I am a provider and would NEVER speak to someone like he spoke to me or hang up on a patient.I made an appointment with another provider there, but after thinking about it all night, cant in good faith give them any business. My childs healthcare is worth more than that. Got her in with another practice today--SO happy, much easier experience and knowledgeable provider. Will be reporting this to BBB.

Like everyone said they definitely need better reception .....when I called and told them Im gonna be late they were like its okay we will be able to see u ....I get there first they be like you should called I was like I did then she couldnt find that I called and once she found it she was like sorry too late ...... adios see u next time.They could definitely be more co ordinate so wont waste patients time

I have used their services on three occasions to have suspicious moles examined and removed. I was always been seen quickly and received results within 2 days. Highly recommended.

I arrived at 1:10 for my 1:15 appointment. Filled out paperwork for maybe 5 minuets. When I was called back to the exam room the nurse re-asked me nearly every single question I’d just answered in the paperwork, even my street address. At 2:05 I walked out still having not been seen by a doctor.These folks are too busy. Do them a favor by seeing a different practice. Hopefully one not so eager to waste your time.

The staff here is actually amazing- very caring. They made the most of a bad situation and have made my time feel valued. I really appreciate everybody here!

Just horrible. I’ve finally had enough and am going to write my opinion on this place. I’ve been going here since I was little and back then it used to be so much better. Maybe because the staff was different. The real issue is Dr. Kraus nurses. Watch out for the one named Ebony. She is absolutely horrible. She’s rude, not caring, unfriendly and has not patient social skills. I always request that she not be in the room with me but she ends ups being there anyway. Finishing my last couple sessions as this place and then finding a new facility. I just will not take anymore rude treatment from the staff working there, I love dr. Kraus he’s an amazing doctor but he is not worth putting up with the staff for..

Very happy with Dr. Payne. Ive had success getting an old tattoo removed but it has taken longer than I had initially planned. I would still recommend Dermatology Associates to my friends.

Dr. Kraus and his staff are the best. My daughter has had extreme eczema and skin conditions since birth. After trying several products and seeing several doctors (other dermatologists, allergist, etc.), we found Dr. Kraus. Since she started seeing Dr. Kraus we have had no more issues. His compounded formulations were life changing for our daughter.

Service has declined. Dr. Kraus and his staff are extremely RUDE. Dr. Kraus told me he doesnt care if I recommended people in the past, others are doing the same for him. DR. Kraus does not care about his patients, he spends less than 5 minutes with them. His only concern is his Retirement. The medical assistant Tammy and gang are RUDE and management allows them to get away with BULLYING.It is obvious that management is POOR because the environment is HOSTILE. Why allow this clinic to take your money when customer service is POOR.

I cant say enough about the Doctors, PAs and all of the staff at DAA. Ive been a patient for most everything skin related for the last 20 years from botox and all of my skin care products to acne and my laser hair removal, most recently for my sons mole removal. These are best dermatologists in Atlanta with friendly service and extremely knowledgeable staff. When my family has something pop up that looks suspicious on their body I can get a first available appointment with confidence. Id travel hundreds of miles to see these folks!

Been here for the last year for general dermatology issues with Dr Mara Grosswald, she is very quick and efficient. The costs after in network insurance are low so Im happy with this place so far.

I had a V-Beam done by Dr. Karempelis to get rid of spider viens on the bridge of my nose and you cant even tell there was EVER anything there! Amazing! Worth it and recommend this practice! BIG thumbs up.

They have the ABSOLUTE WORST service. I had an appointment today at 1, I got there 15 minutes before. Signed in and girl at front said theyll be with me in a second. I waited 45 minutes and decided to ask how long more will it take. Come to find out the receptionist didnt pull my folder. I could have been at work. Im NEVER coming back!

Great Doctor, Dr.Curtis was thorough and very punctual there was little wait time and her staff great! I’d recommend her to anyone needing help with their hair!

Bought a skin tone evener product recently which Ive been using for over 2 years. Apparently this time there is no medicine in it. I called the office and they refused to replace it. They want me to pay $80.00 to see the doctor so that he could recommend another product. I think its a mistake on their part when they mixed the product. So no replacement or refund for me. Im going to have the product content tested and take legal action.

Based on reviews and friendliness, I thought this would be a good place to try. Then I was charged hundreds of dollars just because the doctor spent two minutes with me and diagnosed a pimple. Insanity.

I was calling to schedule an initial consult. Called 3 times and left and voicemail no returned call. Called for a fourth time to be transferred to the Griffin Center- and the receptionist advised that the lady Julie who schedules appointments was in the break room and to hold on. Julie gets on the phone , rushes me through the entire conversation and kept reiterating that insurance wont cover anything and it will be 150, which she wasnt even asked those questions. She did not take the time to listen and it was clear she was in a hurry. Very unprofessional poor service and I wouldnt dare attempt to schedule an appointment after that.

Dr Kraus has done wonders for clearing up my skin. I was initially skeptical, since I have ethnic skin. I am pleased.

Dr. Kraus and his staff are the best! Im starting to see results after 1 month.

Myself and my wife have always had the absolute best experience everytime we visit and although we now live in Sarasota, we come back to Atlanta as needed for service with this group....the best of the best!!!

Time for Dr. Kraus to retire. He needs to take a course on people skills. Wont be returning. Everyone else was nice and polite.

Receptionists need to improve their people skills a bit more! one specific person is always rude and in a rush. good luck!

Dr. Kraus did wonders on my skin. He knew exactly what compounds to prescribe to clear up my skin. I recommend Dr. Kraus for all your skincare needs.

Terrible doctor, charged twice...once for a surgery when all they did was give me cortisone shot. Didnt tell me this when I left and definitely did this to see how much money they could get from the insurance company. The shot also didnt work and now I have a scar...avoid them at all costs especially if you dont want to get ripped off.

The service at DAA used to be good. Success, it seems, has lead to management forgetting about fundamentals which, in their absence, comes failure. Its a matter of time.I have been a patient of Dr. Karempellis for 22 years. On two recent occasions, I made appointments to see Dr. K and was passed off to someone else, a doctor Payne. The only explanation offered to me for why my doctor would not see me anymore is that Dr. K doesnt handles psoriasis. WTF?? Its a condition of the skin.Today, I was once again passed off to Dr. Payne, and waited for over an hour and still had not been seen. So, I left the office and decided that this practice no longer wants my business. Perhaps there is more ROI on the cosmetic side of your practice, Doctor.The frustrating part of this is that, at the end of the day, it seems that nobody gives a crap about bad service anymore. Perhaps it is time for the government to step in and set things right.Unfortunately, I cannot recommend your practice to anyone and will find another doctor.

Ive been seeing Dr. Karempelis since approximately 2002 and he is an amazing physician and an even better man. This practice has a lot of affordable and innovative solutions for everything from alopecia to rosacea. Between Dr. Karempelis and Dr. Griffin this is hands down the best dermatologic practice in the state of Georgia if not the southeast. Great service and a great provider.

Dr. Kraus really helped me with the issues I was having with my face. I highly recommend him.

Ive been a happy patient for 5 years, he and his staff go above and beyond! - Yasmin Martin

The staff and Doctors are amazing here!! I couldnt be happier. I have referred a few people here who have had the same great experience. I would definitely recommend Mara Grosswald and Dr. Joseph Payne, they are incredible.Mara made me feel so comfortable and she is a master at what she does. I made my boyfriend make an appointment with her the next day because I trust her judgement. She gets 5 stars in our book!Dr. Joseph Payne performed a very complicated Mohs surgery on my forehead and I couldnt be happier with his attention to detail and professionalism. Claudia who works with him was also great. I actually looked forward to coming back to see them when I had to get the stitches taken out. Everyone made me feel so comfortable here and I trust their expertise with the scar treatment on my forehead. The front desk is friendly and helpful as well.

D. Scott Karempelis, MD was very nice, but his staff forgot me and left me sitting in a laser room. There were two people waiting when I went it to that room - They were all gone when I came out. I was there an one hour and half - I need to get back to work. They just forgot about me. I had to pay $5.00 parking. So I am disappointed.

Been a patient of DAA for 20 years or more. Well managed practice and always up to date on the latest procedures.

Dr. Payne is super thorough and the office is really beautiful.

I have been a patient of Dr. Karempelis since 1988. I grew up on the beach before sunscreen was a big deal, then lifeguarded on the beach several summers in college. Im a pasty white boy, so I had to be very careful when things started popping up on my skin after college. A friend was already a patient of Dr. Karempelis, so I went to see him and get some things checked out and removed. Ive tried to see him at least every two years, and as often as every year except when I lived on the West Coast for about 10 years.I always get personal attention from him, and he has always taken as much time as needed to explain things and make me understand whats going on with my sun damaged skin. I havent had any real trouble, but Ive had a few things biopsied. I feel like I got kind of lucky finding the right dermatologist so early on. As for office staff, I havent paid much attention over the years, and I have had no complaints. Then I could care less how Im treated by anyone other than the doctor. Skin cancer is a serious concern for my skin type and sun history, and I lost a 48 year old step brother to skin cancer a few years ago. Id walk barefoot over broken glass to get to the right dermatologist.

I have been seeing Dr. Kraus for last few years for hyper pigmentation issues. I have seen remarkable improvement by using his skin lighteners.

Before starting the tattoo removal process I stressed to staff I had 2 tattoos close together but only wanted one removed and was assured this could be done but a few treatments in and they have damaged the other tattoo. After showing to the staff I was told I should have been taping off my other tattoo before coming in and when I explained it on my back I cant tape off myself was told I should have had a neighbor do it prior to arrival. After an argument they took 25 off the price which isnt even a third of what Ill have to pay to have tattoo touched up. Dr. K never apologized only had his staff make excuses and blame me for the mistake.

This place is awful. The staff is very unprofessional, especially the black medical assistants in the back. There are many other dermatologist out there, I regret wasting my time and money.

Dr. Curtis and Dr. Payne are great at explaining the medicine. Both have fast service!!

I visited Grosswald for my acne issue. I told I can get medication any where, so they sent my medication to carepoint where my insurance is not being covered and they charged me 60$. when I called up my insurance they told me only in network pharmacies are covered. When i called the nurse and asked to change it to Walmart, she told that the medication will not be covered any where and send it to walmart. Now when I tried at walmart its 600$. This is ridiculous. May be they are getting some money sending us to unknown pharmacies. Till now I am not able to get my medicines. This is the worst one I have ever gone. Never ever go to this one.

Ive tried many types of products and dermatologist recommendations but not until going to Dr. Kraus had I even seen real results. My acne and breakouts have disappeared and the most problematic thing for me, my dark marks, have faded significantly after only a month. He asked me a question my first visit, Do you want to have a clear face? and for the first time ever Im so close to being acne and spot free. I would definitely go to see him and let him and his people take care of you.

I visited Dr.Mara a month back, and she couldnt come to a finding wats the issue. But still she suggested a cream and said it can be used for any type of skin problem in any particular of the whole body. And she couldnt even recognise the creams name, they searched only for the pharmacy and asked me to order online. Guess wat the cream never worked, and its just waste of money. Im not sure how can some one treat the skin in face and skin in rest for the body could be treated same.

Dr. Kraus is amazing, but for some reason, I have been waiting for a rx authorization for 3 months and can never get through to nurse...

A caring and very knowledgeable staff and team of physicians who are professionals make up this group that provides the best care of my skin and well-being. Theye Number One!!!

I went to see Dr Mara Grosswald. Not only was I told that it was probably my fault that I had acne, and I quote the PA its just you, I was also told that it was too bad I wasnt a woman because she could put me on birth control and clear it right up. She then proceeded to write me a prescription for doxycycline which I told her didnt work. The only reason I gave her any stars at all is because she did give me cortisone shots and make me feel good about my acne that particular week. After that she ran out of the door quickly. Then me and my pharmacy had to call her office several times to get the prescription filled that she promised for the Odexton. If you are a guy I would not go to see this particular doctor. Still suffering...

I used to LOVE DAA...now Im stalled at Like. Ive been a patient of Dr.Kraus for about 7 years. I suffer from adult acne and in the past hes worked miracles on my skin. I recently moved back to town and am once again suffering from bad breakouts and hes once again treating my condition which is great. The last time I went there I was annoyed that I had to wait almost 40 minutes to see him even though I was on time (actually early) for my appointment. I also feel like hes spending less and less time explaining the cause of my ailments and that could just possibly be because Ive been a patient before and I have the same recurring issue.All in all I love Dr.Kraus and appreciate what hes done for my skin and hope that he continues his good work and that they get their scheduling and waiting times in order.

My wife wanted to have a small tattoo removed and we met with Dr. Karempelis. He told us that the chances for removal were very good as it was only black and red ink. He did however tell us that it would probably take 6 to 8 treatments. We were prepared to spend between $1,350 – $1,800 for the removal based on the consultation.Treatments were spread out over the next two years and after the 8th treatment, the tattoo was still there. We were told to expect another 4 – 6 treatments. After the 12th treatment and $2,700, the tattoo didn’t appear that it would be gone by the 14th treatment so we inquired and were told it would probably take another 4 – 5 treatments.After the 17th treatment and $3,450 and my wife still has her tattoo and we lost faith that Dermatology Associates of Atlanta were as reputable as we had originally thought. We decided to stop the treatments as there seemed to be no end in sight. My wife was afraid to complain in person so she sent Dr. Karempelis a letter asking him to review her file and give her a call to discuss her treatments. He never even responded to her letter or called us.Laser treatment removal at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta is a scam!

I had the unfortunate experience of having a misdiagnosis by one of the PAs. I am a 52 woman with a history of basal cell and squamous skin cancer. I had a small bleeding spot on my scalp in the area of my part. The First time I asked this PA about it, I was told it was an infected hair follicle. Months later, when I was in for my yearly skin check, it was still there. So this was the Second time I asked about it. He took a look, then said well, its NOT skin cancer. No biopsy was ever performed on either one of these visits. So I went back home....about 1 1/2 years from the first time I noticed it was there, I realized that not only was it not going away, but it was changing and getting bigger. I jumped ship from this practice entirely, and went for a second opinion. That spot on my scalp was quickly diagnosed as a BCC (basal cell carcinoma), requiring a fairly invasive MOHS surgery to remove. 3 months following the procedure, I am BCC - free, but have a bald spot on my scalp...about the size of a nickel. I have to part my hair differently, or else it is very noticeable. I am fine and BCCs are the least worrisome skin cancers to deal with...but what if this had been a Squamous cell or melanoma? Scary. Demand a biopsy...dont trust the PAs or even a DRs eyes. Another lesson learned. Be seen by a qualified dermatologist...not a PA! And still go with your gut feeling

Believe the negative reviews! I wish I could give a worse review than a 1 star, but I think this will be justice enough. I dont understand why this clinical is so totally unhelpful. After visiting them one of their doctors informed me that I have an auto-immune disease, known as psoriasis. They gave me some options and I told them I wanted to go with Humira. Afterwards, they asked me to visit Lab Corp to do some blood work. They also said they are going to make sure if I can be prescribed Humira, via my insurance. I waited patiently after a solid weekend only to have one of the nurses call me at 7 AM to tell me theyre not sure if I want to start Humira and they havent received my blood work.I was left totally confused because I thought I made it clear I wanted to start the treatment. I was definitely confused because I brought in a form to Lab Corp, given by the doctor, so the blood work would go straight to them. Its already Thursday now and no one calls me back AT ALL. In fact, the only time they felt the need to call me in the past was at 7 AM. When I call them they send me straight to the nurses voicemail. One time during my desperation for any information, 4th time calling them, I called and the lady assumed I was giving her attitude and said I didnt have to be so nasty! I wasnt trying to be rude nor was I cussing her out. I only wanted to receive my medication. It turns out, after I called my insurance company myself, I CAN HAVE HUMIRA. Is this how they treat other customers desperate for information? I suppose that theyre too busy to call me back at an appropriate time.This is an awful way to treat someone thats covered in huge red sores who is seeking your help. Try someone with a staff that actually is willing to help their clients, like Jerry Cooper.

I heard great reviews of Dr. Karempelis but unfortunately he was not available until a week later and I needed to see a dermatology right away. His physician assistant,Del Henderson was rude on my phone call after I experiencing complications and severe side effects from the medicine administered at the office the previous day. He did not listen. More than likely because he DID NOT check drug interaction with what I am ALREADY taking. My meds and daily dosages were clearly spelled out on my sign-up sheet. NO DOCTOR CAN STATE THAT THERE IS NO RISK OF MED INTERACTION. This depends on the individual as not everybody experiences server side effects from a medication or it would be BANNED by the FDA. Even if small or remote, the doctor MUST put patient at easy and make recommendations in case SIDE EFFECTS continue. The rest of the office staff is truly nice but I will not come back to this office again. I did inform him on the phone that he had horrible bedside manners.
