About Mitzi C. Dunagan, BSN RN LE

Mitzi Dunagan is the only certified CoolSculpting RN in Gainesville GA, and has been certified by CoolSculpting with numerous classes and training.

Mitzi Dunagan, BSN, RN, LE, brings a unique combination of nursing expertise, advanced aesthetic training, and a genuine passion for helping patients feel confident in their own skin. As a Registered Nurse, Licensed Aesthetician, Senior Laser Practitioner, and Weight Loss Coordinator at Northeast Georgia Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center of Gainesville, Mitzi believes the best results begin with education, trust, and an individualized approach to care.

With extensive training in laser and aesthetic technologies, Mitzi specializes in advanced skin rejuvenation and body contouring treatments, including BBL® HEROic™, MOXI®, SkinPen® microneedling, Morpheus8, CoolSculpting®, laser hair removal, chemical peels, PRX Derm Perfexion, DiamondGlow®, and customized medical-grade skincare. She especially enjoys developing comprehensive treatment plans that combine in-office procedures with an effective home skincare regimen to improve skin health and achieve natural, long-term results.

Mitzi also serves as the practice’s Weight Loss Coordinator, working closely with patients participating in the physician-supervised medical weight management program. She provides education, ongoing support, and individualized guidance throughout each patient’s journey, with an emphasis on helping patients create sustainable changes while feeling supported along the way.

Her philosophy is simple: aesthetic medicine should never be about changing who someone is. Instead, she believes in helping patients care for their skin and bodies in ways that allow them to look refreshed, healthy, and confident while still looking like themselves. She takes time to listen to each patient’s concerns, explain treatment options honestly, and create realistic plans based on their individual goals.

Committed to continuing education, Mitzi regularly pursues advanced training in aesthetic technology, laser treatments, skincare, body contouring, and medical weight management. She values the opportunity to combine the clinical foundation of nursing with the artistry and science of aesthetics.

For Mitzi, one of the most rewarding parts of her work is developing lasting relationships with her patients and being part of their journey toward greater confidence—whether that means healthier skin, achieving a weight-loss goal, or simply feeling a little more comfortable in their own skin.

What Our Clients Say About Us

“Treated me like family through the whole process”

Amazing physician and staff. Dr. Schaheen took extra time to explain everything to me and allowed me to ask questions, ensured I had no complications after surgery, and treated me like family through the whole process.

- Paul W.

“Professional, knowledgeable, and communicative”

Professional, knowledgeable, and communicative. I’ve only seen her once but she analyzed my hand, recommended a course of action, followed through, and it all worked fine. I can’t say enough about how much I’m impressed. Need a recommendation? Choose her.

- John K.

“Dr. Schaheen is professional, upbeat, encouraging & skilled!!!”

Dr. Schaheen is professional, upbeat, encouraging & skilled!!! Her surgery on my hand far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend for your surgery needs.

- Sherri

“Dr. Schaheen explains everything top to bottom”

I cut my pinky flexor tendon mid-July, and had a different doctor operate. When I hadn’t seen the greatest results, I went to Dr. Schaheen and she scheduled me for surgery immediately with full communication on what needed to be improved. My surgery was early October, and the scar is already almost non-existent! She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and a joy to talk to. She has the sweetest, most nurturing personality. Dr. Schaheen explains everything top to bottom. The only negative thing about her is that I can’t rate above five stars. Dr. Schaheen, you are a JOY!!!!!

- Miranda P.

“He was very open and honest”

“Highly recommended Dr. Abell. I was very nervous about getting some work done but Dr. Abell made me feel very comfortable and he also takes a very conservative approach. He was very open and honest, so I knew what to expect. I was very pleased with the results and highly recommend him. He is awesome!”

- Vikki F.

“My hand was fixed right up!”

“Dr. Emily performed surgery on my hand after breaking it with a spiral fracture. I received plates and pins. Her bedside manner, professional, and knowledge were amazing! My hand was fixed right up! I have zero pain and full movement in my hand and fingers. And as a bonus, the scar from surgery is not even noticeable 🙂 I would recommend Dr. Emily time and time again!”

- Martha B.

“Dr. Walton was absolutely wonderful!”

“We trusted Dr. Walton with our 4 year old who needed repairs on his little finger after a bad cut. We were very nervous to say the least! But Dr. Walton was absolutely wonderful! We still have a few more weeks of physical therapy but it looks like this very difficult surgery was completely successful! Not only is Dr. Walton a joy but the entire office staff and nurses! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!”

- Lori P.

“I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Davoodi”

“My overall experience with this office has been great. All of the nurses as well as the front office staff are kind, patient and willing to answer any questions. Dr. Davoodi is a great doctor. He made me feel comfortable about the procedure and walked me through step by step. He personally called me after surgery to follow up which I greatly appreciated. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Davoodi, and I am very pleased with the results from my surgery!”
