• As a member of the Emory Healthcare Network, the practice benefits from strong institutional relationships and streamlined operations.
• This unique opportunity allows you to serve the existing patient base’s dermatological needs while building and growing a dermatology subspecialty service within a well-established multi-specialty practice.

This position is ideal for a dermatologist seeking a long-term career home with the entrepreneurial opportunity to develop a thriving dermatology practice within an established medical home.

Enjoy excellent work-life balance while building your practice in a collaborative, multi-provider environment.

The practice offers a comfortable, well-appointed office with dedicated space for dermatology services. Registered Nurses manage triage, prior authorizations, and care coordination, allowing you to focus on patient care. Comprehensive marketing support is provided to help grow your dermatology panel. You will collaborate closely with primary care physicians to deliver integrated, high-quality care.

Services include general dermatology, skin cancer screenings, biopsies, excisions, cryotherapy, and the opportunity to expand into cosmetic procedures based on your interests and expertise. The Emory Healthcare Network manages payer credentialing, streamlining administrative processes.

Practice Development Opportunity

This role offers the unique advantage of building a dermatology service line within an established practice.
