Dermatologist Outpatient Practice Atlanta

Job description

Seeking a Board Certified/Board Eligible Dermatologist to join our established primary care practice in North Atlanta. Our privately owned practice, established in 2008, maintains a strong reputation for clinical excellence. As a member of the Emory Healthcare Network, we benefit from strong institutional relationships and streamlined operations. This unique opportunity allows you to serve our existing patient base's dermatological needs while building and growing a dermatology subspecialty service within our multi-specialty practice.

This position is designed for a dermatologist seeking a long-term career home with the entrepreneurial opportunity to develop a thriving dermatology practice within an established medical home. You'll have immediate access to our existing patient base requiring dermatological care, plus the support and resources to attract new dermatology patients from the community. You'll enjoy the personal and professional balance you deserve while building your practice in a supportive multi-provider environment.

Position Details

Practice Scope & Patient Care

You'll provide comprehensive medical and cosmetic dermatology services, initially serving our established primary care patient base with immediate referral volume, while growing the practice to attract external dermatology patients. Our patient population is primarily middle-aged adults, and we accept most commercial insurance plans as well as Medicare. Services will include general dermatology, skin cancer screenings, biopsies, excisions, cryotherapy, and opportunity to expand into cosmetic procedures based on your interests and expertise. The Emory Healthcare Network manages our payer credentialing, streamlining administrative processes.

Practice Development Opportunity

This position offers the unique advantage of building a dermatology service line within an established practice. You'll have autonomy in developing treatment protocols, service offerings, and practice growth strategies. Our primary care providers will provide a steady stream of internal referrals, ensuring immediate patient volume while you establish your presence in the community. Marketing support and resources are available to help establish the dermatology service as a regional destination.



Work Schedule & Life Balance

This position offers work-life balance with flexible physician work schedules: either 4 clinical days plus 1 administrative day, or 4.5 days with a half administrative day per week, Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. There are no weekends, no hospital rounds, and no on-call requirements. If the standard schedule options don't meet your needs, we will try to accommodate your preferences within reason.

Work Environment & Support

Our comfortable, well-appointed office provides an excellent working environment with dedicated space for dermatology services. Registered Nurses manage the triage process, handle prior authorizations, and coordinate care, allowing you to focus on patient care. The practice invests in comprehensive marketing to help build your dermatology panel and establish the subspecialty service. You'll work collaboratively with our primary care physicians for comprehensive patient care.
