gave Knoxvillians a way to learn about the science
of looking healthy. In 2001, they founded the Skin

Wellness Center, a dual dermatology and cosmetic
treatment practice. “We really strive to treat the

ment plans for each patient. “We help the patient

prioritize and discuss options,” says Dr. Grande. “One

treatment does not fit all.” That’s just one aspect of
the two dermatologists’ commitment to delivering

the best outcomes available to their patients.
