Dermatology Consultants

Researched dermatology practices here on Unilocal,the practice was highly rated and the appointment setting process was easy. However… when I made the appointment, I specifically asked to see a Dermatologist, Dr. Diaz was advertised. Arrived to find the appointment was assigned to a Physicians Assistant. A Physicians Assistant is not a Dermatologist; I am sure they are quite capable, but that’s not who I asked to see. Informed the actual doctor was not in the office and that I would need to make another appointment. Guess what? Not coming back.

Being new to Midtown, I asked a friend, and she recommended Dermatology Associates. She said her mom had used Dr Juneau. I was concerned that I had some skin cancer. Dr Juneau spent about 3 minutes with me. She did a full body overview (for which I am sure there was an additional charge), but it was so quick that I don’t know how she could have found anything. In the end, she quickly dabbed something on my face and then a couple other places that I had to point out to her. What she did was unevenly applied, so the areas healed at different rates, and one dab was so thin, it just made a crust that sat on my skin for weeks without healing or doing anything.
Another thing that bothered me when I initially went to Dermatology Associates, was when I asked a question of their cosmetic /​spa department. I felt they treated me like an easy mark, ie a target, someone to just sell something to. I didn’t feel at all that they were trying to serve, or do what was best for me. Not a good feeling. A number of years ago I went to a dermatologist in Alpharetta and was treated quite professionally.
The spot for which I initially went to Dermatology Associates has returned. I will, however, be finding a different dermatologist this time. I am not a persnickety patient, but Dermatology Associates was just not a good confidence building experience for me.

I’m a newbie to med spas and had a wonderful experience with Dermatology Consultants aesthetic services. After a helpful consultation with the front desk staff, I was able to easily book a facial for the following week.
My aesthetician, Sam, explained which treatment options would be most effective for keeping my skin in good shape (I am a woman in my mid-30’s). I was not looking for intense or invasive procedures, and Sam was respectful of that and didn’t push a «hard sell» of services or product lines. Instead, she introduced me to micro-​dermabrasion, micro-​current, and a light enzyme peel – all fantastic. The Signature Facial left my skin so radiant that I was confident to run errands without makeup for the rest of the day!
I will definitely be back to see Sam again and will follow up with her great suggestions to enhance my existing skin care regimen. With my new knowledge, I’m looking forward to trying many new services. Thank you, Dermatology Consultants!

My wait in the waiting room was not long before I was called back to see Jennifer Avliani. They ended up having to biopsy a spot on my nose and were great! The shot of novacaine and the biopsy itself did not hurt at all. I’ve already scheduled an appointment for my husband and I know when I go back for further treatment — I will be in great hands!

Still seeing Dr. Martinez-​Diaz, and he is the best dermatologist! My skin currently has a lot going on (for me at least), and he has really spent the time to research and study my skin, in order to pinpoint the root of the issues. He also makes sure he thoroughly answers all of my questions and that I understand my condition and/​or treatment. Love him! He is the sweetest!

I went in for an appointment today and so far, my experience was really pleasant. The place is clean and they take your information in quick, perfect for an early appointment before work.
I went in to see Dr. Gabriel Martínez Díaz, and I am happy I did. After never going to a dermatologist in Atlanta and not having any suggestions from friends or coworkers, I researched on possible options. Dr. Díaz was at the top of several lists so I decided to give him a try.
The reviews were not wrong — he is very professional and takes his time to listen to and explain concerns and answer questions. Really good at explaining what’s going on and keeping it simple. He prescribed three things for me and explained how they worked, and asked for a follow up in 2 months to see how the situation looks. He is also bilingual! So if you know Spanish and sometimes have some words slip your mind, he would be the perfect person to visit.
His assistant, Tatiana, was also really nice! She listened and took notes, as well as took care to answer any additional questions I might have had.
Overall it was a good experience and would recommend it to others.

OKAY… Where should I begin. I missed my flight and decided to get a ViPeel here instead of my usual place in San Diego. I thought this place seemed professional and knowledgable, I wrong
They put sunblock after my ViPeel and charged me an extra $ 125 for a Boost in which wasn’t even used.
The Vi Peel is something that you space time out of your life for and you want it performed correctly. I was stressed all week about the lack of confidence as it says on the ViPeel package NOT to apply anything for at least 4 hours after.
There was no follow up exam as well. Which my place in SD does– it’s just piece of mind knowing that things have progressed perfectly.
I did call my place in SD and asked if they could look at my skin. They did and they said that they SHOULD NOT HAVE PUT SUNBLOCK or anything on my face for up to 4 hours. I feel as though I wasted the 4 days set aside for a ViPeel and have to wait for months before I can get one properly performed.
I paid $ 250 for a week of stress and a job I have to get done later.
Get your own piece of mind and get a ViPeel somewhere else
I only wished I hadn’t missed my flight, but I can’t unscramble scrambled eggs, but I can hopefully help you from having your face scrambled ;)

I visited the office in Marietta because of a skin allergies that I have, after giving me couple of different medicines they told me that I have to do the patch test application to find out what exactly what I am allergic to, but they never took the time to explain that this test was going to cost me $ 600 out of pocket. if I knew how much was going to cost me I would probably said no to the test for the simple fact that I don’t have that kind of money and also because the test was not going to cure me of the allergies that I have (very bad skin rashes) I still have the rashes and I just paid off the $ 600 to them. The staff never really cares about the patient, for them you are just another target to make money from the insurances. Be aware, if you can go and visit another Dermatologist.

Dr. Martinez-​Diaz seemed to listen to my concerns, offered a boatload of products to prescribe me, but I informed him to only recommend the bare minimum to me as I am on a budget. He seemed fine with this. He was pleasant and warm, easy to talk to. They do push the products and service for cosmetic procedures offered in their office, but that is understandable. Wait time was about 30 mins. Not too bad.

The office called and was very apologetic about the unusual wait.

Last week I went to Dermatology Consultants for the first time. I had a great experience. The space is very organized, clean with top quality products. I had a facial with Bonnie. She was very thorough, respectful and pleasant to work with. Used great products. My face is already looking way better. I will definitely go back to her for my facials. I was also able to meet one of the dermatologists, Dr Gabriel Martinez. He was so easy to work with. Very knowledgable and gave me the best recommendations to fit my needs.
Most certainly I will go back to see him as well. Check it out!

I had an excellent experience at Dermatology Consultants. The staff was very catering and caring. On my visit I saw Dr. Gabriel Martinez Diaz. He has the best bedside manners and does not intimidate you like other doctors do. He answered all my questions and gave me the perfect regimen for my skin. He performed Botox injections and they were the most pleasant I have ever had. The results were awesome as expected. I highly recommend seeing him for esthetic and non esthetic purposes. He is extremely knowledgeable and went to the best schools. I feel very confident under his care and he will continue to be my dermatologist from now on!

Last week, I was fortunate to be able to see Dr. Gabriel Martinez-​Diaz for care. My regular dermatologist did not have an opening for several weeks although I am an established, long term patient.
Dermatology Consultants’ staff were able schedule me to see Dr. Martinez-​Diaz right away. In addition to having a great bedside manner, he was extremely thorough in his examination and answered all my questions in an easy to understand manner. I highly recommend him if you need dermatological care. Worthy of mention is the friendly staff, from check-​in to the medical assistants/​nurses. The office is a warm and inviting open space rather than usual medical office where tthe staff is behind a glass window and closed doors.

I had an overall great experience at Dermatology Consultants. I’m a sun-​lover and not the best about wearing sunscreen, so my friends have been bugging me for a while to get my skin checked for any suspicious spots on my body.
Having not been to a dermatologist in many years, I asked around for suggestions and was excited when my dad and stepmother gave me a recommendation right in my neighborhood. They gave glowing reviews about Dr. Juneau, their dermatologist of several years, and said she was simply the best!
I have to say I completely agree with their review. Dr. Juneau was very professional, yet also made me feel so comfortable during the exam. She has such a warm personality that you feel like you can ask her anything (even the embarrassing questions!) She even gave me some samples of products to use for breakouts. I’ve since recommended several friends to her and will continue to do so.
As others have mentioned, parking is a bit of a pain, but definitely worth it when you know you’re getting such great care.

I visited this office twice for psoriasis and found it much more of a cosmetic operation rather than medical. The office is nicely decorated and the staff was friendly. Parking is a little annoying, but so is parking for everything else that is located along Peachtree Rd.
My only problem with this establishment was Dr. Michelle Juneau. Unfortunately, that was the primary reason for my visit. I spent about 10 – 20 minutes waiting for her each visit and saw her for less than two minutes each time. It was alarming how quickly she entered and left. I also found her to be quite condescending. I was there for psoriasis– which they never biopsied to confirm, by the way– but she spent an odd amount of time saying, «You look greeeeeat!» in a really annoying, patronizing way.
She never explained my skin issues, and any information she offered was because I continued to prod her for it. I was basically the only one in the room asking any questions at all, which was probably annoying for her. She seemed like she confidently knew what she was doing. Once, she looked at a spot on my skin and proclaimed, «I know what that is!» Um… congratulations? Wanna share?
Overall, my experience with Dr. Juneau was subpar, and she is not a good match for the informed patient who wants to understand the medical issue. I also never received any information about when/​how to schedule follow-​up appointments. I felt pretty uninformed about my treatment plan after I left the office and wasn’t really sure if/​when I should return. In fact, the only contact I received from the office was continuous email spam for bourgeois skin/​facial treatments.
I consulted with my primary doctor, who didn’t know this group, and I have now found a new dermatologist.

I loved my experience at the clinic and particularly loved Dr. Juneau! Dr. Juneau spent a lot of time listening to me and my concerns. She carefully explained what was going to happen and made sure I understood. She was awesome! Would definitely recommend Dermatology Consultants and particularly Dr. Juneau to anyone!

It was easy to make a new patient appointment the same week and their front desk staff was excellent. I had to pay cash for my visit and needed a biopsy of a growing freckle on my upper forehead by my hairline. Christine answered the phone and answered all my questions before I called about 10 other dermatologists in the city. I ended up going back with them because their price was among the best but they were BY FAR the nicest people I’d contacted. The PA, Chhavi, who saw me was a little condescending and kurt, but she did remove that thing in about 3 minutes so it was a good trade off, IMO. They do their labs in house and charge a LOT less than many of the places I contacted. All in all I was happy with my experience. I would definitely recommend this place.

I’m not a fan of their parking. The first 30 minutes is free. But you know that doctor’s appointments will take longer. So expect to pay about $ 5 to park here.
The office looks clean. The front desk was very friendly. Also, since I was a patient for Piedmont Hospitals, they had all my information filled out before I even got there. So I didn’t have to write much on my new patient information form. I thought that was nice.
I saw Jennifer Avaliani for my condition. Even though she wasn’t the main dermatologist but an assistant, she seemed to know what she was doing. But what do I know? I’m not a dermatologist. It took her about a minute to look at my condition and recommend me some products. She wrote me a nice prescribtion. It can’t get any easier than that.
So far, I’m happy with this place. Perhaps my review will change if my conditions don’t improve. But as of right now, I recommend it.

Y’all, I just love this practice and the people there! It’d been more than a minute since I’d been in– and I can’t remember what I went for last– but a week ago Friday I came home from work with the most horrific. .. break-​out, rash, infection, I didn’t know what, all over my arms, shoulders and chest. We have to wear button up dress shirts to work and I had the patio section that night but I had no clue what happened!
I tried hydrocortizone and some other cream and it got only a tiny bit better. It was the Labor Day holiday weekend so I was kinda stuck on getting an immediate appointment and I was also hoping I’d not have to spend the $ 50 co-​pay.
But, alas, I had to get an appointment as soon as possible when it wasn’t that much better by the middle of last week. I’d seen Jennifer before — so very nice, efficient and helpful!- so I was happily agreeable to seeing her this morning.
My appointment was for 9:10, I arrived a few minutes early and after updating my insurance and other paperwork, was seen by 9:15. Turns out it was a viral infection– non-​contagious and they don’t know exactly why it happens but it does happen more to people with fair and sensitive skin like me– and I was out of there by 9:45, armed with a prescription for a super-​powerful cream (it must be because after the first of two applications of the day my skin already is improved), instructions to take 24 hour Zyrtec, and a coupon for Cerave cleanser and moisturizer and lotion.
Totally worth the co-​pay, the $ 15 prescription and the money for the Zyrtec and Cerave potions. No more red blotchy things soon, I hope, and I can wear tank tops again for the last weeks of summer!

About a month ago, I went in for an appointment to have an uncomfortable rash checked out. After about an hour-​long wait, I finally went back to see the physician’s assistant, who pronounced what was wrong with me in seconds, made up an Rx for a fungal infection, and had me out of the office in less than five minutes. Later, I learned that the Rx cost $ 200 beyond my insurance coverage. Fun.
Three weeks later, the rash was still painful and livid, and I sought a second opinion at another dermatology office, who took the time to *actually test* the rash, found it was not fungal in origin, and gave me an Rx for eczema, which cleared things up shortly.
I don’t fault the staff of Dermatology Consultants for making a mistake – that happens – what I fault them for is attempting to churn patients through so quickly that care and accuracy fall by the wayside. I understand that they were running behind, but when the provider could have spent a few extra minutes testing the rash to see if her diagnosis was correct and thus saved me time, money, and pain… well, it’s just disappointing.
I will not return to this office in the future.
