Before I came to the Dermatology Associates of Atlanta I Had HORRIBLE acne...you know that nasty type of acne that encompasses whiteheads, blackheads, redness,scabs from picking at gargantuan pimples, ruddy complexion....now i had all of that BEFORE I found these guys...Actually I had started going to another dermatologist in Decatur which was cool, but they prescribed soo many meds and wouldnt allow you to get the generic ones and all those meds cost hundreds of dollars, which I didn't have readily available as I was but a poor college student at the time.  My face cleared up a bit going to the Decatur dermatologist BUT their service sucked so I was on the hunt for a new Dermatologist. My friend referred me to her dermatologist, Steven Kraus, who is one of the doctors at Dermatology Associates of  Atlanta.

There was such excitement in her voice when she talked on and on about him and how he cleared up her skin conditions. She jokingly refers to him as an evil genius, although this man is in no way evil.  He is a very thorough doctor who goes cares about his patients, and has a no nonsense approach to skincare. Upon my first visit he asked me if I wanted my skin to be 'okay' or 'flawless' cuz he could do either/or for me. I went with 'flawless' and since that fateful day two years ago, my skin is deeply in debt to him. Dr.Kraus specializes your treatment plan to you personally, which means that whatever creams or cleansers you use, are personally mixed at the onsite pharmacy to treat your condition, based on your medical needs. Also the fact that they compound your prescriptions usually means they charge you the generic price instead of those outrageous amounts that skin prescriptions cost.

They (D.A.A) also have an onsite medical spa, which I frequent once a month to get my monthly peel (it helps keep the acne away), so after two years with Dr.Kraus and the highly trained staff and specialists at the D.A.A and SkinMedics, my skin is soft, supple, bright and completely acne free!  Oh did I mention Dr.Kraus has been voted one of the Top MDs in America for several years? Yes my darlings the man is THAT good.

I want to give 5 stars BUT I have just started my  year long journey here so giving 4 to be fair. So far I LOVE my doctor I am seeing for Tattoo Removal! Such a gentle guy with GREAT bedside manner and a sense of humor !

The staff is also very kind, patient and takes time to go over things. There is a 50 dollar consultation fee BUT it is put towards your first treatment if you decide to go forward. Of course I think consultation fees are good since it weeds out people that aren't certain and for this you either want it or you don't.  The price is also very good. I was quoted double what he quoted me at a few other places and I have very large tattoos being removed from my neck.

I was given a script for numbing cream to put on prior to having the session and it did work but I won't lie...laser hurts to remove tattoos but a few minutes compared to the hours it took to get them it is worth it.  So I have no idea how people get the treatment without the cream if it hurt with the cream lol

The after care is pretty much the same as getting a tattoo and feels about the same.  The area I am having done (neck) is super sensitive and one of the worst areas to get a tattoo but he talked to me during it so I didn't focus so much on the pain and before I knew it I was done.

I can already see it breaking up. For now it looks like I had a bad tattoo job but it is exciting to see it working already and look forward to going back in 6 weeks. I am going to use them for some adult acne treatment as well since they offer a laser treatment for it that looks very promising and again, affordable.

The section is called The Laser Institute of Georgia and Dr Scott Karemelis is fabulous, lovely guy!
