Founder · West Georgia Dermatology
David Schoenfeld, MD
Dr. Schoenfeld co-founded West Georgia Dermatology and cared for Carrollton patients for decades. Now retired, he remains part of the practice family whose standards he helped set.
About Dr. Schoenfeld
Dr. David Schoenfeld founded the practice in 2001. It has been his mission to provide the highest quality dermatology care in the most efficient and caring manner for his neighbors of West Georgia and East Alabama. Dr. Schoenfeld is originally from upstate New York, but he begs his patients to forgive him for that. He actually grew up in a small town just like Carrollton.
He performed his undergraduate studies at Cornell University and went to medical school at Duke. He stayed on at Duke for his internship in Internal Medicine and then came to Emory for his Dermatology residency. Dr. Schoenfeld served as Chief Resident at Emory and then joined the full-time faculty for a few years before moving to Carrollton.
When he is not seeing patients, Dr. Schoenfeld enjoys golf and basketball, watching his beloved Duke Blue Devils, in addition to playing and coaching. He has volunteered with Special Olympics for many years and has performed various roles within the Carrollton City School System. He enjoys teaching the students who shadow him frequently at the office, but his favorite students are his patients as he tries to explain their skin conditions and what options they have for treatment.

“I had completed my registration prior to my visit. I was greeted very politely when I walked in the door! I sat down and was called back by the nurse to the examination room. The nurse was very nice in explaining what was going to happen next! Dr. Schoenfeld came in and started the exam, explaining what he was doing. Everyone in the office was very professional and polite!”
