The Skin Wellness Center
Dr. Meredith Overholt and Dr. Kimberly Grande
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
whole patient,” says Dr. Overholt. That means they

metic ones—that reveal health issues in other areas of
the body. It also means they devise individual treat-
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.
