June 23, 2009 JOHNS CREEK – Dr. Zack Charkawi and Dr. Shereen Timani have joined the Emory Johns Creek Hospital medical staff.

The couple moved to Alpharetta from Ohio to open Johns Creek Dermatology and Family Medicine. Dr. Charkawi is a board certified Family Medicine physician, and has special interests in geriatrics, diabetes management and Adult Attention Deficit Disorder. Dr. Timani is board certified in dermatology and dermatopathology.

"Drs. Charkawi and Timani are welcome additions to the staff at Emory Johns Creek," said Alan Wang, MD, chief medical officer at the hospital. "Patients in the community now have access to specialized diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of conditions."

Dr. Charkawi was awarded the American Diabetes Association "Who's Who Award" for his work in diabetes treatment, education and therapeutics. "I enjoy the challenge of treating the patients in all stages of their lives, which is the hallmark of family medicine," said Dr. Charkawi. "I see patients of all ages, and diagnose and treat a comprehensive scope of conditions, from high cholesterol, diabetes, nutrition – anything you would see your primary physician about."

As assistant clinical professor of Family Medicine at Louisville University in Kentucky, Dr. Charkawi was responsible for training third and fourth year medical students, lecture series and clinical oversight of the University's Healthpoint Family Care and Oakley Urgent Care.

Dr. Timani specializes in medical dermatology, performing biopsies and surgeries for pediatric and adult patients. Her training and board certification in dermatopathology enables her to provide very quick turnaround times on biopsies. Her extensive background and training in medical and surgical dermatology and dermatopathology means that she is able to diagnose and treat a broad range of skin disorders.
