💫Women Making History💫
As we close out women’s history month and spring into April, this is the month that I opened Steele Dermatology 9 YEARS ago! Whew!
When I graduated from residency, I didn’t necessarily know how I wanted to practice—in a small group, in a large group, on my own? I finished residency in 2009 (remember the Great Recession?). A lot of practices weren’t expanding or really hiring. So, I found a job and started practicing general dermatology in a small satellite office on the south side of Atlanta off of Cleveland Ave 👀…IYKYK. Let’s just say it was not the premiere location 😬
After a year or so of practicing general derm in that location and then moving to Camp Creek and Windy Hill for a minute, I joined a plastic surgeon in Roswell and started to develop my skills in cosmetic procedures. A couple of years later in 2015, I was ready to spread my wings and fly, i.e. open my own practice and do things my own way.
I can’t remember who it was, but someone said, “you should talk to .coreyhartman !” and connected us. He did what he does and told me the truth about opening a practice and also, encouraged me and motivated me to just do it. Thank you .coreyhartman 🫶🏽, do you remember that?
Steele Dermatology was born! Now that the practice is almost a decade old, now that I’m married with two kids, now that we have two large luxe offices in Alpharetta and Buckhead, and now that I’m part of the educational training faculty, sometimes I forget what the journey was like!
I am a woman making history 👩🏽⚕️. It feels like I’m just doing what I do—trying to find ways to create a better experience and better results for my patients, trying to go to new heights and extend my reach in my field. The journey continues…
p.s. I still love seeing patients who saw me back in the Cleveland Ave. days (or any other little office in which I worked from back in the day) and come find me 10-15 years later 🥰. It absolutely warms my heart.
