Reviews of Sumayah J. Taliaferro, M.D (Doctor)

Stacie Burroughs

Great experience from start to finish! Dr. Taliaferro has an amazing spirit and personality; she takes her time and gives very personalized attention. Her office staff is extremely professional and I loved her assistant too! I have a major retail pharmacy that I have used for years but when there was some difficulty transmitting the prescription they recommended a local pharmacy that saved me 30% off of my copay. Suffice it to say I have found my new dermatologist.

While Atlantic Station is always under construction, this office is always well put together! The front desk ladies are very helpful, full of good energy, and beautiful! The PA-C, Anissa, is awesome!!!! She is very knowledgeable about AA skin and our skin conditions. She answered any and every question I had and I have already begun to see positive results from her skin care regimen!! Go see these ladies, you will not be disappointed!

I had a hard time finding their location, and their secretary asked me "are you using a GPS” as if I was slow. (I was already at the address but couldn’t find the entrance to the building in Atlantic Station). When I showed up, they told me my appointment was for another day, which made no sense because last week the lady told me “I can get you in for next Monday” (and today was next Monday). Their staff looked at me like this was my fault, showed no sympathy, was very sarcastic, and did not care nor acknowledge their misunderstanding.

I recently followed Heather Schardan over to Dr T’s office. Heather has been my aesthetician for 9 years. She’s amazing! Totally worth the drive from Decatur. As always Heather was amazing. I love the peel she used. I get so many compliments on my skin. Thanks to Heather. Dr T’s office is really nice. I found the staff to be professional, friendly. I’ll be seeing her from now on as my dermatologist.

Well, I keep hearing she is great, I tried to see her twice, but everytime l attempt to see her she is booked so far along that I have to decline the dates offered. My excema cant wait two months to be seen.

Excellent Dermatologist, great personality and very human in dealing with her patients. To me she is a 5 stars

Buffie Purselle

Amazing service! Dr T is the best! My skin was so severely damaged from scarring and dark spots that I thought that I would never be able to leave my home without full makeup. After just one appointment and adhering to my new skin care regime, I am happy to say that my skin has NEVER looked better! One of the meds prescribed was super expensive. Dr T made sure to recommend a specific pharmacy that offered it at a lower rate. Gold stars! Beautiful location! Simply the best!

Atlanta Dermatology & Aesthetics is the BEST Dermatologist office in Atlanta! Staff is so funny and friendly...willing to work with you and give you the best experience. Very caring and understand! I love Dr. Taliaferro and her staff!

Jackie Lewis

amazing office! they really know what they're talking about and they go above and beyond from the moment you check-in. the front office staff was very patient and polite. the nurses are very understanding and sympathetic to your issues. the doctor has such a bubbly personality, GREAT bedside manner - so few doctors still do. the entire office is very knowledgeable about products and before you purchase they tell you everything you need to know so you don't waste your money as so many of us do on skincare lines. phenomenal experience! 5 stars! highly recommend!

Gave my teenage daughter the wrong treatment twice which burned her skin and made her breakout in hives. I told the PA that her skin was sensitive from the beginning. Never tried to correct it. Caused her and me unnecessary stress. Charged me for 2 visits and no solution

I was excited to see Dr. Taliaferro because of the reviews, but unbeknownst to me, my husband saw the PA. When I called I specifically asked to see Dr Taliaferro and no one informed me that I would not be seeing her. So, I was very disappointed about that! My husband has serious health issues and on a FIRST visit he needs to see a Doctor not a PA so the Dr can initially assess his needs and then if she feels her level of expertise is not needed for his care then later visits can be scheduled with a PA, if we choose. Additionally, while in the back the young lady (the Med Assistant) took my picture with an iPad before asking my permission and then stated it was for identification?? But you already have my valid State ID, what more identification did you need??? This was awkward and disrespectful by not allowing my husband to give you authorization to take his picture. I read the office paperwork thoroughly and nothing in those documents state they require his picture to be taken. So distasteful!!!! Lastly, the location is very difficult to find. They are up in a hole near Piedmont Primary Care Physician’s. My husband has a lot of health issues and we weren’t prepared to go on a hunt to see a Dr that we actually did not see. Her front office should do better by representing her. If she doesn’t know, they are a reflection of her/her office and my visit definitely reflected that, which was BAD!!!

Outstanding physicians, aesthetician, and staff, short wait times, all around good experience!

I was the WORST critic EVER. Atlanta Dermatology and Aesthetics has been life changing for me. They proved me COMPLETELY wrong. My skin has never been as clear and beautiful as it is right now. Have no doubts, let Atlanta Dermatology and Aesthetics figure it out!!!

Tamara D Fountain

Excellent experience here... Dr Taliaferro is a great doctor and she has a good support team as well. Highly recommend if you are in need of a good dermatologist.

reekda god

They are verry attentive to their patients. The nurses even gave my wife a regimen to follow detailed with when and what order to use the medicines prescribed

Accomplished One

The front office staff are RUDE! When checking out they dont acknowledge you standing there to pay your MONEY. They continue talking on the phone and to each other. The last visit I stood there for over 10 minutes while the rude and disrespectful front office staff took calls and conversed among themselves. When she finally acknowledged me. She never looked at me , but kept talking on the phone and typing on the computer. She told me how much I needed to pay, took the money, wrote a receipt handed it to me NEVER saying thank you or anything. I have never experienced such at any doctor's office. Front office are not personable...they give the impression...on to the NEXT one! These kind of people ruin your business....

UPDATE: Dr. Taliaferro is an incredibly kind and caring doctor. She took the time to ensure I had a positive experience by listening to my concerns, walking me through her recommendations, and explaining her treatment. She is compassionate for her patients and works diligently to provide proper care.

Courtney Howard

The service has really fallen off. I have been to Dr T twice since she moved to Atlantic Station and the appointments never run on time. They are always overbooking customers. I love to support my black doctors but I will have to stop going because my time is very important and they do not take in consideration that you have other things to do. - Since I initially drafted this review. I have referred a few people to Dr T because I wanted to see if there has been some improvement in service. Both people who visited the office stated that the service was great and that they will go back and one person has already had their second appointment. I will start going back to Dr. T because even though I had a complaint about the service at that time she still was by far the best Dermatologist that I have visited. Keep up the good work.

Erica Hughes

Dr. Taliaferro is an awesome dermatologist. She is well versed in skin and hair loss issues. She also takes her time with patients!

Toysia Ford-Mann

Dr. Taliaferro and her staff are great. My visit was the best visit I have ever had with a dermatologist. She is hands on and took her time. I highly recommend her, you would not be disappointed. Also her staff is awesome.

Kathleen Bertrand

Customer service is tops at this office! From the time you arrive until the time you leave, the staff is professional yet friendly. I appreciate the information I have received on new products, and the Revision line has been outstanding! Dr.T is on top of the latest techniques for skin care and I love that!

SP

Practice runs efficiently and excellent service!

Sebastian Santo

Their staff is friendly, profesional and very timely! And Dr. T is just an amazing dermatologist, she performed two removal surgeries on me and even helped me navigate through my brand new insurance plan. I would recommend this place highly!

SonJai Ashante

I went to see Dr Taliaferro sometime last year. Her front desk staff was very pleasant and I liked the office itself but that its were it stops. I didn't like the way she and her assistant talked to me. She was cold and cut me off multiple times. Maybe it was an off day for her. Who knows...but I wont be going back. I was really excited to support a black doctor too. Oh well....

JO-Z Talent

Not good customer service. Called office over two weeks ago to get an appointment. Never received a return call.

Jonathan Lewis

This is the most informed and personable office I have ever been to! The Dr. and the PA, I have seen both, are very well informed and educated! You leave with complete knowledge about your visit and for me it felt as if they were tailor making decisions for me. I will always be a patient at ATL Derm and Aesthetics. The two ladies at the front desk are hilarious, it doesn't feel so "Doctored" up, very down to earth office!

Arlette Reyes

Staff do not return calls. I have left 7 messages to make an appointment and never received a call back.

C L Hartman

Outstanding physician services. Kind, caring, competent staff. Short wait times and a great array of procedures and products offered.

Ganesia Womack

I visited Dr. Taliaferro one time and I hated I wasted it. I was excited because of the reviews and that she was 5 minutes from my home. During the consultation regarding my scar revision. She advised about price which is suitable during consultation but then referred me to cheaper options I may find with other practitioners. Maybe because I’m Black and in my twenties? I guess what I was wearing exuded I couldn’t afford the procedures? Weird huh? After that I booked a more expensive practitioner but with better customer service. Any place someone goes looking to spend their hard earned money should be treated with the utmost respect. *shrugs*

Laurel Bree

I pray that Dr. Taliaferro will see this. I have been one of her patients for about 5 years. I even recommended her to friends. I really like her. She is a great doctor. Just like another person said. I called to schedule an appointment. The call went to voice mail. The message advised me to leave my information and someone would call me. I never heard from anyone. I am not sure what is wrong. I did research and have found another doctor. I called and explained my needs and was able to get an appointment within a day. If any one sees this who is seeing Dr. Taliaferro, please tell her calls for appointments are not being returned.

Great Service! Wait time was not long at all. Great staff!

Jane G Brooks

Undoubtedly the worst front desk.. rude.. flippant, left me on hold twice for 10 min. No knowledge.. this person should not be answering phones. Unfortunate for the dr because her reviews are good.

Queen Glam

I was the WORST CRITIC EVER!!! I’ve been disappointed so many times with dermatologists and products. Atlanta Dermatology and Aesthetics has been life changing for me. They proved me COMPLETELY wrong! I was dealing with acne which led me into depression about my looks...until I found this place. My skin has never been as clear and beautiful as it is right now. This is the best team of skin care professionals I have EVER had (and I’ve had plenty #fails). Have no doubts, let Atlanta Dermatology and Aesthetics figure it out!

Matthew Teal

I came here with my wife 1 week ago. She was struggling with hair loss and was really embarrassed about it. Dr. T did a phenomenal job at making her feel much better about the whole situation. I've really noticed a difference in my wife's confidence. Will definitely being going back for our follow up!
