Dr. Holly Gunn is an accredited, board-certified dermatologist with almost 15 years of experience and a lifelong desire to help others.
“When people come to me with a problem that I know how to fix or improve, it brings me so much joy,” she says.
She also dreamed for years of opening her own practice.
“I wanted to create my own happy place where I could help patients,” Gunn says.
That dream came true in 2020 when she opened Gunn Dermatology in Mountain Brook.
“We seek to provide the best care in the community through our innovative technology, knowledgeable staff and our comfortable, friendly atmosphere,” she says.
In August, Gunn and her staff celebrated the third anniversary of their original location in Crestline Village. In November, they’ll mark the first anniversary of their second location at Lane Parke in Mountain Brook Village.
“This is my happy place, my do-good place, and I can’t believe how much it’s grown,” Gunn says. “When we started, I didn’t even imagine we would have two locations.”
At both facilities, Gunn and her staff provide what she calls “not just good medical care, but great medical care, in a luxurious environment.”
They take pride in offering full-body medical and cosmetic care, with any service or treatment patients could possibly need.
Full-body care is important — even in cosmetic dermatology — because the skin is the largest organ of the body.
“We treat you as a whole person with realistic, long-term goals to achieve your healthiest skin,” Gunn says.
Their many services include cosmetic and surgical procedures, head-to-toe skin exams and acne treatments. They provide basal cell and skin cancer removals, including safe, effective non-surgical techniques.
As a full-service wellness center, the practice offers cryotherapy, infrared sauna sessions, spray tans and many other services. The staff performs treatments to make the skin healthier and stronger while removing signs of aging and discoloration.
Gunn Dermatology is always looking to find new technology to help patients and are excited about the Vivace Ultra device, which can be used on any area of the body that a patient wants to tighten, tone and contour. With the precise individualized settings from the ultrasound, patients are seeing great results.
Perhaps most important, Gunn Dermatology staff members provide a welcoming, comfortable experience and seek to make their patients feel like family.
“Patients feel like this is their home away from home,” Gunn says.
Dr. Gunn also maintains a warm, supportive atmosphere for her staff.
“Everyone feels loved and respected, and we carry that over to our patients.”
Dr. Gunn enjoys running her own business, even though she had never seen herself as an entrepreneur.
“It just goes to show you that if you love what you do and are passionate about it, you can do it,” she says.
However, it’s her entire staff “that makes it happen.” she says. “They’ve also invested their hearts and souls in Gunn Dermatology.”
