What Makes Us Different

At Southern Skies Dermatology, we feel that the best way to create a first-class experience for our patients is to first create a first-class experience for our employees. By prioritizing our work culture and making Southern Skies Dermatology and Surgery a positive, fun, rewarding place to work – we believe that we attract exceptional employees.
Our practice administrator, Michelle Flowers, once told Dr. Mario, that we have to make sure we don’t “overwork and underpay” our staff or they won’t take pride in working here, and they won’t stick around for the long haul. Dr. Mario took that to heart and wanted to go even further.
We reward our team with free take-out for lunch every Thursday (group vote decision), a spin-the-wheel birthday prize, quarterly cash rewards for being a reliably consistent employee, regular raises, unexpected bonuses for exceptional performance, and a healthy Christmas bonus, as well as a fabulously fun Christmas party.
Phenomenal patient care comes from a team that is invested and ready to contribute to our practice. We’ve built a work family that includes doctors, advanced practice providers, front office staff, medical assistants, billing staff, laboratory personnel, many wonderful local vendors, and most importantly our patients whom we are extremely proud of.
