It was so smooth to apply and a little went a very long way and I didn't feel like it was drying my face the way masks sometimes can. When I rinsed it off my skin felt rejuvenated, not dry and tight! The Be Glowy moisturizer felt wonderful on my skin! The final application of Bella be primed SPF on my face felt luxuriously smooth and provided great coverage without exaggerating the pores on my skin which I often see with this type of product. It looked very natural on my 60 year old skin! This regime felt very kind and nourishing to my skin and I would highly recommend anyone to try these lovely products!

Mrs.V is awesome!!!! I started using the products around February. During my first session, I had…read morethe lactic peel and I purchased the Truth bar, Toner, and serum. Mrs. V emailed me detailed instructions on how to care for my face. I followed the directions and friends started noticing the difference. My pimples were going away. If one pimple appeared it was gone within 24 hours. Normally it would take a few days. The hardest thing for me to do is drink lots of water everyday but it is helpful. The products are gentle. They don't irritate my skin or bleach my linens. Mrs.V also responds quickly to emails/texts if you have questions. I've ordered from the website and Mrs.V mails out the products promptly.

I've had two appointments at Dermatology Affiliates' Midtown location. So far, so good. I'm happy…read morewith this practice after switching from Peachtree Dermatology Associates in Buckhead. Not that Peachtree Dermatology was bad; I had several good experiences with different providers there. I switched because: (1) I wanted a dermatologist closer to home and (2) one of Peachtree Dermatology's MDs left a bad taste in my mouth because of her arrogance and condescension. Parking is free at Dermatology Affiliates Midtown (at least, for now). I had to pay to park at Peachtree Dermatology. I didn't mind paying for parking all those years; it's just nice when there's free parking. Dermatology Affiliates is located on street level of the Cottonwood Westside apartment building, across the street from The Interlock and catty-corner from Westside Provisions District. Park in the building's garage - the entrance is right next to Dermatology Affiliates' storefront on 14th St NW. Let the front desk staff know so they can help you validate parking. Remember your license plate number. When Googling for a new dermatology practice to go to, it came down to Dermatology Affiliates Midtown and Atlanta Dermatology & Aesthetics in Atlantic Station. I chose Dermatology Affiliates because: (1) I liked that they had a team of physicians and PAs instead of what appeared to be just one physician at Atlanta Dermatology & Aesthetics, (2) Yelp reviews, and (3) Atlanta Dermatology & Aesthetics' website was down. Overall, I got a better feeling about Dermatology Affiliates. It was really easy for me to book my first appointment online with Katherine (Katie) Quinley, PA-C (Physician Assistant-Certified). I chose her because she graduated from the Wake Forest PA Program (my dad did his residency at Wake, my mom went there for undergrad, and I grew up in the area as a Wake fan -- yeah, no "real" reason). Katie also had plenty of appointments available. I've seen Katie for three issues: (1) acne, (2) a scar on my leg, and (3) atopic dermatitis, a.k.a. eczema. Katie prescribed various drugs and got me on various routines, which have helped all three issues. For acne, I continued the use of adapalene / Differin 0.1% gel, which Peachtree Dermatology started me on many years ago, and Katie added sulfacetamide sodium / Klaron 10% lotion to my daily routine. For the scar on my leg, I was prescribed hydroquinone 4% cream. For eczema, I was prescribed triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream. Several years ago, Peachtree Dermatology prescribed triamcinolone acetonide 0.1%, but it was the ointment version, not the cream. Katie recommended Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream, available at Sephora, to help moisturize my face. My acne and eczema are under control and resolved again. The scar, which I sustained from storming Georgia Tech's basketball court at McCamish Pavilion on January 30, 2024, will take much longer - I'm guessing years - to show significant visual improvement. In my last patient handout, it said: "Explained to patient that after improving the brown pigmentation, we can use the V-Beam to target any leftover redness which will also improve its appearance." Katie told me Vbeam is a laser treatment available at Dermatology Affiliates' Buckhead location. (Dermatology Affiliates has three locations: Midtown, Buckhead, East Cobb.) Per Vbeam's manufacturer, Candela: "The Vbeam pulsed dye laser (PDL) has been proven time and again for the successful treatment of a wide array of vascular, pigmented, and certain non-pigmented lesions, with a low incidence of side effects." https://candelamedical.com/patient/brands/vbeam/ The front desk staff at Dermatology Affiliates Midtown have been polite and efficient and Katie's medical assistants, Savannah Herring and Aaliyah Mantock, have been great as well. I was seen on time at both appointments, my prescriptions were sent promptly to my preferred pharmacy, and Katie and the rest of the staff answered all my questions. I've found Dermatology Affiliates' website patient portal to be helpful. My only gripe is it's not configured to allow me to send a message to anyone at the practice. For example, I use MyChart to message with other providers. It's easier and more convenient than calling and leaving/receiving voicemail. Since hydroquinone isn't covered under my insurance plan, I called the office to let them know (as Katie told me to do) and left a voicemail. Later, I received a text with a link to Klara, which is an online platform for providers to securely message with patients. Using Klara, I messaged with Aaliyah, who sent me a GoodRx coupon that reduced the price of my tube of hydroquinone from well over $100 to only $27.04. I appreciated that. So, I think I have to use Klara to message with this office instead of through Dermatology Affiliates' website patient portal (QualDerm Partners ModMed / Modernizing Medicine). Thank you, Katie, Aaliyah, Savannah, and team.

I cannot express how frustrated I am with the care I received from Dr. Abbott…read more Back in November, I visited her because I had a lesion on my lip. Without obtaining a proper skin culture or ordering blood work, she diagnosed it as a cold sore. What followed were eight months of frustration, recurring outbreaks, and treatments that simply did not work. I was prescribed a daily low dose of Valtrex, higher doses when symptoms began, and expensive Acyclovir cream. None of these treatments were effective. Since November, I experienced 7-8 recurrences, each lasting about a week before resolving. Few weeks ago, the condition became particularly severe, and I was so frustrated that I scheduled an appointment with my new PCP in Dallas, TX, requesting that every reasonable test be performed. My new PCP--who, incidentally, is an NP-BC rather than a physician--looked at the lesion for only a few seconds and commented that it did not appear to be a cold sore at all. Instead, it appeared to be a localized bacterial infection. The test results confirmed this assessment. My HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA tests were negative, and my HSV-1 and HSV-2 IgG tests were non-reactive. A simple course of cephalexin 500 mg, taken four times daily for 10 days, resolved the problem. What concerns me most is Dr. Abbott's confidence in diagnosing and treating the condition without sufficient diagnostic evidence. As a result, I spent the past eight months dealing with recurring symptoms, ineffective treatment, unnecessary medication, and significant frustration. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend seeking a second opinion and avoiding Dr. Abbott. Milan R.

However, I was very disappointed with the doctor! She did not inform me about a huge side affect to a medication she subscribed and didn't even bother to ask if I currently had or ever had the very health condition that the medication will cause!! She also told me to continue using a steroid for an INDEFINITE Period of Time, As Needed! I researched this and most doctor's agree that patients should Not use steroids for indefinite periods of time and surely not starting and stoping as needed, and for the patient to decide this on their own! This doctor also isn't very clear when communicating with her patients. Derm docs need to be reminded, even though they're not surgeons, they still have people's LIVES in their hands and need to stop and think about how they're affecting other people! The medical system plays a role as well by forcing doctor's to rush through patient visits and chasing the dollar! But there's a LOT of things each doctor is in control of and can do differently! Wishing everyone a better experience with their doctors!
