A patient walks in hoping to erase a sunspot. An experienced eye recognizes something that needs medical attention. At The Skin Wellness Center, that distinction captures the value of putting physicians at the heart of aesthetic care.

Dr. Meredith Overholt and Dr. Kimberly Grande have spent decades understanding skin, treating disease and helping patients feel confident in their appearance. Their Knoxville practice brings those pursuits together, with medical judgment guiding everything from a suspicious mole to a carefully chosen laser treatment.

Cityview readers have recognized that commitment through Best of the Best honors, while both physicians appear among the magazine’s 2026 Top Doctors in dermatology. Those accolades reflect a reputation built over years of caring for East Tennessee families.

Now, the practice welcomes Dr. Jeremy Greer, a board-certified dermatologist and Johnson City native. After medical school at East Tennessee State University and dermatology residency at the Medical College of Georgia, Greer returned to East Tennessee. Joining Skin Wellness offered something especially important to him: the opportunity to work in a physician-owned practice.

“You get to make the decision that’s best for them in the room with them,” Greer says.

That direct relationship matters. Patients can discuss their concerns with a team whose physicians remain actively involved in the practice and its direction. For Greer, dermatology also offers the satisfaction of seeing a problem, treating it and witnessing the difference that care makes.

Grande describes a specialty that brings medicine, surgery and creativity into the same room.

“We can combine just art and science together,” she says.

The practice’s long experience with lasers illustrates that combination. Grande recalls introducing their first laser in the late 1990s. Since then, their collection has grown into what she calls “a stable full of lasers,” allowing the team to select technologies for particular concerns.

That range gives them flexibility. Depending on a patient’s needs, treatments can address different layers of skin, targeting concerns such as laxity, fine lines, uneven pigment and texture. Overholt recently underwent three laser treatments in one sitting herself, an example of how the team can thoughtfully combine technologies while limiting repeated recovery periods.

The equipment, however, is only part of the story. Grande emphasizes that the practice evaluates aesthetic procedures from an academic and scientific perspective. New treatments must earn their place. Medical training and experience also shape the selection and preparation of the people providing care.

That foundation can make a consequential difference during an aesthetic appointment. Grande recalls patients seeking removal of what they believed were sunspots, only for the team to recognize a potentially serious lesion that ultimately proved to be melanoma. Looking better begins with understanding what is actually happening in the skin.

For patients seeking medical dermatology, aesthetic improvement or guidance about where to begin, Skin Wellness offers the reassurance of experienced physicians, a broad range of treatments and a team that considers skin health with every cosmetic concern.

And the doctors who helped build that trust are looking ahead.

“We’ve been doing this for 30 years and have no intention of going anywhere,” Overholt says.

Experience has brought them this far. Their commitment to patients keeps them moving forward.
