Dr. Marguerite Ann Germain, MD

I highly recommend using Germain Dermatology. I personally have dealt with Dr Emily Kmetz - is is amazing. She has helped me get control on my psoriasis. I find all the staff to be kind and considerate.

Dr. Germain has the best staff that always makes you feel like family. Cassy is a prime example. My son has been there sometimes weekly for his acne and Cassy treats him like a son. She always works with his school schedule and finds a way to make it work! Holly and Dr. Germain have both gone above and beyond to make sure my son gets the best treatment. They both call, text and email because they really care and he looks great!

Dr. Germain cares personally for every patient. And the results of any procedure are excellent! Voted Best derm in Charleston many years in a row!

I had a very BAD experience and would NOT recommend this practice!

In 2011, I went to a plastic surgeon located near the IOP for a filler injection around my nasolabial fold and was extremely disappointed with the results. Not only did I have absolutely NO results from the infection, I had several bruises at the injection site. A few weeks later, I saw Dr.Germain because there was a sale on fillers/Botox. The results were immediate and amazing; she gave me several post op care instructions, such as not lying flat for the night in bed. The first doctor injected me in 3 places, where as Dr. G injected me in multiple areas, including one side of my lip because there was asymmetry, in which I had never noticed. Her injection technique is an art form !! I did not have any bruising from her injections; they do offer FREE laser procedure if you bruise to aid in healing/fading faster. I have never had a frozen or noticeable result after receiving Botox/filler, only natural. She will work with you to save money, such as offering the product on sale, such as Dysport and/or Botox, to save money. She educates you on which brand is best for the area being treated, such as Botox to the forehead because it stays in place, and Dysport to the eye area because it diffuses to create a soft look around the eye. I will NEVER see any other doc that Dr. G !!!!!!

I have been her medical and cosmetic patient for 10 years or so. I started with Dr. G at her old office. Now my whole family goes to her. We switched from another derm because their wait times were ridiculous. I have always thought Dr. G's practice is super organized. The reason you only see her for 10 minutes is because she is so busy and POPULAR. Why? Because she knows what's she's doing. Yes she's got the marketing thing going on but she has to pay for all that state of the art equipment. Everything she does is one or two steps ahead of the other dermatologists. I have never had an issue with any procedure. So yes I keep coming back, even if I only get 10 minutes of her time!

I wouldn't trust anyone else to my face for injections (botox/juvederm) unless it was Dr. G. She does an exceptional job and knows exactly were to inject without making you look frozen or chronically surprised. I've had a bad experience with injections from plastic surgeons and a different Derm I saw up north, and nothing, nothing, compares to Dr. G !!!

I must say that my experience with Dr. Germaine during the past years has been exceptional. She was the only doctor to recognize and remove a very large basal cell cancer on my nose. She operated immediately and sent me to a Plastic Surgeon for further operations. I have been very blessed that this was finally diagnosed and treated successfully. I would reccommend her and her friendly staff to anyone. I continue to appreciate her skill in other smaller matters of skin cancer and skin care.

Waited for over an hour for a first thing in the morning appointment. Good doctors, but can't afford to wait that long, miss work, etc.

I had a quick painless procedure to remove a skin barnacle. The staff was very nice and Dr. Germain is knowledgeable and personable. The office is beautiful.

I have gone to see Dr. Germain for skin problems in the past and she is thorough and very nice and she also seems to know the field of dermatology extremely well. However, her office feels a little too commercial with products they like to sell you with her name branded all over them to the hilt. They even sell candles with her name on them to exude a 'spa'-like atmosphere. Even the bags they put the products in have her name on them. And then there are the 'skin parties' with food where a lot of her women patients get together with the staff to get discounts on skin treatments. I don't get a real 'medical' feel when I am there, but I do get a very commercial feel when I am there. Her office is very nice, but I haven't really received much of a friendly or genuinely caring reception from her staff who often behave as if they are doing the patient favors. Lastly, she suggested that I have a procedure done that involved removing sections of my skin that permanently darkened and marred my skin and now I realize I should have had a second opinion as to whether the procedure was necessary. I think I would prefer to go to an office that behaves and feels that they are really taking care of your medical needs and less the cosmetic needs and emphasis on selling commercial items.

I race to get here on time. I wait. Wait. Wait. Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. Third and last vist. Rushed through appointment but left with a bunch of papers to read instead of someone telling me what was what.

The care and compassion level of this office is horrible. Don't spend your time waiting for them to call your name and spend 5 minutes with you in the exam room. Dermatologists should understand that they are treating an area that is sensitive to the patients. Not having any compassion with what you are going through makes this an unprofessional group.

i went to dr germain and was promised that she would help me with my proasis but instead i got worse. then i am told i am a high risk patient when i am very sick and she cannot help me. now i am left worse then before and feeling bad.

I have noticed comments about wait times up to 30 minutes before seeing the doctor. That's nothing compared to bringing my children to the Pediatrician and waiting over an hour MANY times before seeing the NURSE!

Going here for about a year. I initially came for severe dry spots on my face and now a year later, they have messed up my face, worsened my dry spots and caused a weird type of acne that takes about two months to go away and they can't even diagnose it!

Cosmeticaly she is the best, as far as diagnosticaly she could use some improvement (dont rush through a diagnosis)

Dr.Germain is Professional & Really Cares about her Patients! She takes extra time to "Consult" and in my case recommended Less Not More and I'm totally happy with Results! Her Staff is Professional and Knowledgable regarding the Services they offer..which I have found is Not the Norm!...so refreshing!Give Dr. Germain a try and you will not go elsewhere...if you do you'll run back to her!

My experience with Dr. Germain is excellent!!! Wonderful, caring physician, who new immediately what my skin condition was. Her staff is helpful and informative, my overall experience was great!!!

Dr. Germain does not guarantee any of her services. She has great marketing for her practice and is very nice unless you have a problem.
