Dermatology Associates

What Dermatology Associates does

Dermatology Associates of Atlanta, PC (DAA) is a private professional corporation headquartered at 5555 Peachtree Dunwoody Road NE in Atlanta, Georgia, founded in 1976 by Dr. Edmond I. Griffin (now retired). The practice delivers medical and cosmetic dermatology services across eight on-site specialty centers, covering general dermatology (acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea), skin cancer detection and Mohs micrographic surgery, cosmetic injectables and body contouring, hair restoration (surgical and non-surgical), vein treatment, and medical spa services. Patients are served by four board-certified physicians and five physician assistants/clinical electrologists reporting over 150 years of combined dermatological experience and memberships in 12+ medical associations.

The practice is built around a concentrated technology base centered on the Laser Institute of Georgia, billed as the Southeast's largest laser center, which houses 15-20+ medical and aesthetic laser systems (Fraxel, Vbeam Prima, PicoSure, GentleYAG, MIRIA by AVAVA, Cartessa Tetra Cool CO2, Ellacor, Q-Switched Ruby, Medlite YAG, PHAROS EX-308) supplemented by body contouring (CoolSculpting, EMSculpt), RF microneedling (Infini, Fractora), and the myPatientVisit patient portal for scheduling, refills, and billing. Underlying technology is hardware-driven and device-vendor-dependent rather than proprietary.

Dermatology Associates operates a direct-to-consumer professional services revenue model: medical dermatology is billed through insurance with quote-based pricing, and cosmetic procedures are paid out-of-pocket with financing options available. Go-to-market is primarily local and regional, relying on patient testimonials, Google Business profiles per specialty center, earned media (Fox 5 Atlanta, TrustDale), and a long-running blog/newsletter archive. Patient segments include general dermatology patients, cosmetic patients, hair loss patients (men and women), and skin cancer patients; customer logos are not applicable given the B2C structure.
