Elise Barnett, MD

Owner & Board-certified dermatologist

Dr. Elise P. Barnett is a board-certified dermatologist with more than 13 years of experience in general medical dermatology, cosmetic dermatology, and surgical dermatology. After spending years offering patients her skilled dermatology services both as the owner of her own successful dermatology practice in Montgomery, Alabama and as part of a large dermatology practice, she has decided to open her own small, boutique dermatology practice here in Atlanta – bringing her passion for, and skills in, clinical and aesthetic dermatology to patients in a smaller, more personalized setting.

A south Louisiana native, Dr. Barnett received her undergraduate degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She then attended Louisiana State University Medical School in New Orleans where she earned the Henry W. Jolly, Jr. Professor award, honoring her as an outstanding medical student in dermatology. After an internship at Tulane University, Dr. Barnett completed her dermatology residency at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Dr. Barnett and her husband relocated to Atlanta from Montgomery, Alabama where she co-owned and operated a successful general and cosmetic dermatology practice for more than 7 years. While in Montgomery, Dr. Barnett served as clinical associate professor of dermatology at the University of Alabama Health Center, offering clinical instruction to UAB medical students and residents for more than six years.
