Job description

Full-Time Dermatologist – Build & Lead a New Service Line

Outpatient Practice | Greater Atlanta Area | Immediate Internal Referrals | High Growth Potential

About the Opportunity:

A well-established, physician-owned medical group located in the northern suburbs of Atlanta is seeking a Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Dermatologist to launch and grow a new dermatology service line. This is a rare opportunity to build your own practice within a thriving primary care ecosystem—backed by administrative support, operational infrastructure, and a ready-made referral network.

If you’re an entrepreneurial physician looking to shape a dermatology department from the ground up—with flexibility, autonomy, and high earning potential—this is the role for you.

Position Overview:

• Position Type: Full-Time (4 or 4.5-day workweek)
• Setting: Outpatient only, general and cosmetic dermatology
• Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (no weekends)
• Call: Minimal, phone-only, supported by answering service
• Location: Suburban Atlanta (commutable from Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Roswell, Sandy Springs, etc.)

You will start with a dedicated dermatology suite, an existing patient base through internal referrals, and plans for future expansion into laser and cosmetic services in a standalone dermatology center.

Practice Highlights:

• Immediate referrals from 7+ in-house internal medicine providers
• Established EMR, billing, and operations systems
• Freedom to shape your patient schedule and service offerings
• Collaborative, physician-led team
• Low administrative burden, high support environment

Candidate Requirements:

• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Dermatology
• Clean license, no history of malpractice claims or restrictions
• Strong interpersonal skills and professional demeanor
• Proficiency in E/M and ICD coding
• Leadership mindset and long-term commitment
• New grads from reputable programs are welcome to apply

Compensation & Benefits:

• Base salary: $350,000–$400,000
• Productivity bonus with earning potential exceeding $800,000+
• Sign-on bonus and relocation assistance
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• Malpractice insurance with tail coverage
• Generous PTO + paid major holidays
• CME allowance + license & board certification reimbursement
• Student loan repayment assistance available

Location & Lifestyle:

This practice is located in a vibrant and affluent northern suburb of Atlanta, known for:

• Top-rated public and private schools
• Safe, family-friendly neighborhoods
• Parks, restaurants, and outdoor activities
• Easy access to downtown Atlanta and the airport

Interview & Onboarding Process:

• Initial phone or Teams interview
• In-person visit, clinic tour, and staff introductions
• Offer extended following mutual fit
• Structured onboarding process begins 2–4 weeks before start date, including EMR training, equipment setup, and credentialing

Why This Role Stands Out:

This is your opportunity to lead a new dermatology service line, tap into built-in patient volume, and shape your clinical and cosmetic offerings with full operational support. Whether you're looking to escape corporate medicine or launch something of your own—this position combines autonomy, balance, and income potential in one of Georgia’s most desirable communities.
