Maybe my hopes were too high? Its hard to find many women of color who excel in the field of dermatology. I have suffered from acne for several years - been on Accutane twice - tried many topical gels (Differin, Aczone, Duac Topical Gel, Antibiotics - the works). All of my doctors in the past have been women and extremely approachable and caring. I was very excited to check out Dr. Steele with her amazing reviews and she had a professional website. When I arrived, I was pleasantly greeted by staff and quickly moved to a room. When I met Dr. Steele, she lacked a lot of bedside manner. She didnt seem to care about my problems or acne - it felt like I was another number to see. She didnt conduct a full evaluation of my face, which was alarming. Then she misdiagnosed a cyst on my face and said I needed surgery. Yes, surgery! She also said the cyst on my face would remain until after I was off of Accutane (six months). All I came in for was for a cortisone shot. After I convinced her to give me a cortisone shot (which is a steroid shot that reducing cystic acne) - she kept mentioning it wouldnt work. Well, guess what - my face cleared up after a couple days. She created unnecessary stress and anxiety for what? My previous doctor has been amazing but lacked a lot of availability - but now I wont switch. I felt so strongly not to recommend this doctor that Im writing this review. I hope you have a pleasant experience with Dr. Steele but as a woman of color especially - I cannot recommend her due to her bedside manner and misdiagnosing me.

Im gonna start off by saying I sincerely DO NOT recommend this dermatologist! Dr. Steele recommended a biopsy saying that this would be the only way to know exactly what this rash is. After Im left with a scar on my knee she still wasnt able to tell me what it was. She said it was some kind of allergic reaction but not sure of the type. She prescribed me a medicine to try out for 1 month and see what happens. Dr. Steele knew that I was exclusively breastfeeding my 4 month old son, but to doubly confirm, I asked the pharmacist if this would be ok to take while breastfeeding and she told me that it will dry me out (lower my milk supply if not completely stopping it). At that point I lost trust in Dr. Steel, so I didnt take the medicine. Several months later the Dr.s office calls me and tells me that they dont accept my insurance plan any more and that I owe $400. I told them that the only reason I went to them is because they told me they accept my plan (I had met my insurance deductible when I gave birth to my son so I wouldnt have to pay anything out of pocket). I have called the office and explained to them that at the time of the visit, they did accept my plan and I was told that I wouldnt have to pay anything. They couldnt help me and just said that if I didnt pay, it would be reported to collections. This was truly a horrible experience in every way possible.

Went to her two times. Wait times are not bad, service is OK. What I find unacceptable is that the doctor lied about the cost of procedure. We specifically asked the cost of procedure, and she said that its included in the $50 copay. But then later they charged us an additional $192 for two 2 minute procedures. The doctor shouldnt promise free and then charge. Thats unacceptable in my books. If you go to this lying doctor - be sure to get her signature on the stuff she promises.

Nice doctor and nice staff. They dont respect your time. Waited almost an hour after appointment time and still not seen. Asked for refund on copay and was going to reschedule, however, they charged copay a second time. I had another appointment that I could. It reschedule and should have had plenty of time but was not seen within 55 minutes of original appointment time. Should have. Even more clear communication.

Beautiful office. Kind and attentive staff. Straightforward online medical history forms. Dr. Steele is attentive and very knowledgeable. I got some very useful information regarding an annoying, chronic medical problem of mine. I had a very pleasant experience and will recommend her office to all that I know for derm services.

Very pleasant, attentive staff. Dr. Steele has a very pleasant bedside manner and is very thorough. I never feel rushed through my appointments. Would definitely recommend to anyone searching for a Dermatologist in Alpharetta and surrounding areas.
