Chastain Meyers review for Atlanta Skin Wellness Center

Not 1 star on account of the staff/their overall friendliness at appointments/their expertise all being fine, that hasn’t been my issue. The prescription policies at this practice are why I’m rating it low, I don’t know why there are so many issues getting and staying on medication here. I moved to Georgia and tried to get set up on a prescription that I took for almost 2 years in my previous state, they made me do initial bloodwork at the first appointment(which I was fine with) and nothing worrying showed up on the results. But then, every 3 months I’d run out of refills of the prescription, where previously it’d take me a year to run out. When I got to 6 months/9 months out from my initial appointment, the staff would say “hey we really need to run bloodwork and have you come in again to continue this medication” and I’d say “respectfully that’s unnecessary, I’ve been on this for years now with no problems” and then they’d let me continue. My annual appointment came and they pushed on bloodwork again, I said “no thanks, really I’m just here to renew my prescription and nothing has changed since the last time bloodwork was done”. Then they lowered my dose by 50mg after that annual appointment and didn’t tell me they’d do that ahead of time and/or why they lowered it, which was my final straw. I just saw a new dermatologist who got me on the right dosage again with no bloodwork needed at my initial appointment, and confirmed refills of the medication for a year. If you’re someone who doesn’t want doctor’s offices hovering over you and trying to frequently charge you for additional appointments and labs, I wouldn’t recommend going here. (edit: they responded saying they couldn’t find me in their system, that is because I use a nickname online for privacy + so businesses don’t contact me if I had a poor experience and review them honestly. I tried this practice for a year, the dermatologists I had before and after them were both incredibly safe and exhibited none of the problems this place has)
