The House

Where white-glove hospitality meets modern medicine.

The Charleston Atelier blends internal medicine, aesthetic strategy, metabolic wellness, peptide and GLP-1 care, skin optimization, and long-term prevention into one polished private-care experience.

Founded by Kendall Phelps-Polirer, MD, the Atelier exists to turn fragmented, short-term appointments into physician-led, luxury-designed protocols people can actually follow — so results compound, and patients stay well.

Evidence-based beauty and wellness, with luxury-level standards.

Aesthetic wellness isn’t a treatment menu. It’s a map.

For Her

The Perimenopause Triad

A physician’s answer to the years medicine has historically rushed past — metabolism, hormones, and skin addressed as one system.

The Quiet Years

For Him

Men’s Optimization

Structured, no-fluff protocols for men on or starting GLP-1 therapy — clear parameters, clean sequencing, compounding results.

The Protocol

Access

Concierge Medicine

Direct physician access, longer visits, proactive oversight, and continuity — membership medicine, practiced in Charleston.

Private Care

“The right dose of the right thing for the right person — delivered beautifully.”The Atelier Principle

Why a Protocol

Not more treatments. Better sequencing.

If a regimen feels clinical, people quit. If it feels chaotic, people forget. If it feels like a ritual, people repeat — and repetition is where results compound.

Protocol, not menu: Every patient receives a written map: what comes first, what comes next, and why. The next step is always built in.
Physician-led precision: Evidence-first decisions, discreet care, and monitoring from a physician trained in internal medicine and aesthetic medicine.
Behavior design: Compliance becomes ritual. Protocols are engineered to fit a real life — travel, missed days, and all — so they can actually be followed.
A designed journey: Proactive communication, documented preferences, and reduced uncertainty at every touchpoint. Every detail is by design.
