need a *black* dermatologist in the South

[newslady]

The one black dermatologist in my area isn't accepting any new patients so I called the National Medical Association 1-888-662-7497 to get a referral to black dermatologists within driving distance.
Have you ladies heard of these:
Dr. Richard Gibbs or Dr. Robert Jackson in Memphis
Dr. Norman Walton in Birmingham
Dr. Errol Quintal in New Orleans

Thanks in advance!

I've met Dr. Walton a couple of times at meetings of the Magic City Medical Society (B'ham's local NMA chapter). He's been very cordial the few times I have spoken with him, and based on the success of his practice, I assume he's a very good dermatologist.

Thanks for the recommendation. That's something to think about. I wonder if I can even get an appt with him.
Everyone in my network is either not taking new patients or the first appt is in August. :(:(:(

PLEASE LADIES, any more recommendations?

:eek: These are the only 3 black derms in the South?? Wow! Is the one in New Orleans even still there? I wonder how often they update their list. He could be in Cali by now.

These are the ones in the major cities within driving distance of me!

I've been to Dr. Quintal. I don't know if he's still there, but he's friendly enough. The wait to see him was MONTHS, though. Being like the only one that takes Medicaid and low income families. I made my appointment in July and didn't get to see him until early December of that year. Needless to say, I stopped going.

i'm having a serious dilemna.
i really want a black dermatologist b/c i want someone who KNOWS our skin.
i have a few *light patches* on my face that haven't cleared up.
my stupid arse decided 2 use a lighting creme on my neck but still had some on my hands when i applied my eye creme.
BIG MISTAKE :eek: i had huge light splotches under my eyes for a few months and looked like a REVERSE RACCOON for awhile.
so i started using Women of Color microdermabrasian @ home followed by Creme De la mer creme.
worked well for two places, but not this one leftover spot on the side of one eye.

there's also a high-end dermatologist i can go to where i live but it doesn't accept insurance.
First examination facial is $100 before they do any other treatments and the treatments are like $120.

so it's either that or drive to come of the doctors i mentionned before.
what would you do?

I am looking for the same thing. I need serious glycolic peel treatments for these acne scars.

[longlegz]

This place is in Oakland, CA and she has a great reputation...

I got my 1st glycolic peel from this place and wish I lived closer so I could keep up the treatments!

The esthecian is named Kathryn Leverette.

I know I am all late seeing this but Dr Robert Jackson in Memphis is the bomb. He is the best I have ever visted. It does take some time to get in to see him so make sure you schedule at least a month or so before you want to see him.

He saved my face!!

Are there any good black dermatologists in Houston?

I live in Atlanta, GA and my *black* Dermatologist is THE BOMB!!:D

Her name is Paula Nelson. She has many locations set up around Atlanta. Her number is: 770-921-4300. She has a website as well but I can't remember it off the top of my head. I'll post the website when I can think of it, but I'm sure you can google her and find her.

HTH!!
