Dr. Kimberly Eide didn’t take the traditional path to medicine – or to business ownership. After earning a business degree and working in pharmaceutical sales, she felt a deeper calling: medicine. Inspired by her mother’s battle with breast cancer, she returned to school at night while raising a family, determined to care for others the way her mom had inspired her to. She was drawn to private practice – particularly aesthetics and wellness – where she could blend compassionate care with a sustainable business model.
In building her Kirkwood, Atlanta-based clinic, Restore Wellness and MedSpa, she faced major challenges: denied loans from traditional banks, construction cost overruns, and the weight of launching a business from the ground up. Eventually, she was introduced to First Women’s Bank and through our support, she secured an SBA loan to fund construction, payroll, and equipment, finally bringing her vision to life.
Today, her clinic reflects her Filipina heritage and family values. Every patient is treated like family, and the growing five-star reviews show the impact of her care. Her advice to others: “Take the leap, stay focused, and don’t get discouraged by a slow start. Every little win matters, and you’ll find your rhythm.”
