Dr. Shavin's bio
This content was provided by Dr. Shavin "I graduated from Emory University Medical School in 1969 and completed pediatric training in 1972 after serving as chief resident at Egleston Hospital. I received board certification in pediatrics and practiced until 1976. I then went to the Medical College of Georgia for a dermatology residency, which I completed in 1978. I received my board certification in dermatology that year and started Gwinnett Dermatology. "
