Dr. Mercy Odueyungbo didn't expect to get a call from TLC. According to E!, she was actually approached by the channel on Instagram in 2019 and she was convinced that it was a joke. However, after filming the pilot, she was offered the entire series! Dr. Mercy's empathetic approach to her patients was on view in the trailer. "If you come into the room to see me, you're automatically a family member," she said, as the camera pans to multiple patients crying from happiness. "The skin is a manifestation of what's going on internally," the dermatologist explained. "So, a lot of what we do in dermatology, it's not just the skin that you're treating, you're treating a person as a whole."
While Dr. Mercy made an impression on the channel, she's also very popular with her patients. She's currently based out of Chicago, Illinois, where she has two practices: one in Lombard, and the other in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, per Chicago Defender. According to Health Grades, she has 4.8 out of 5 stars from her patients. Her husband also manages two practices.
