We had the good fortune of connecting with Dominique Fitchpatric and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dominique, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Healthcare heroes come in all shapes and sizes – so why do scrubs only seem to fit one body type? I created Unique Scrubs with the thought of all women in mind. The company was formed with the mission “to deliver cute and comfortable scrubs for the beautiful women in the medical world.” We offer a variety of styles and fashion that give fitting and comfort to women in the health care field. We want every medical woman out there to look cute while dispensing their services. Unique Scrubs has grown rapidly Unique Scrubs are now sold on Walmart.com and Amazon.com as well. I have been truly blessed throughout this journey.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I have been in healthcare for 13 plus years. I started out as a CNA I love working with the elderly they hold a special space in my heart. As I worked in healthcare my interest in other areas of healthcare became so interesting to me, I wanted to learn more. So I went back to school for MA(Medical assistant) after becoming a MA I still wasn’t happy within my career. I felt like it was more I could learn. From there my doctor’s seen my ambitious attitude and willing’s to learn, he took me under his wing and started taking me to surgery with him and trained me to be his scrub tech. became a scrub tech overnight (not literally lol). He taught me a lot and was a huge impact on my career. From there I flourished I was able to take the knowledge and skills he instilled in me and continue to thrive in my career. I have been working now as a Scrub Tech for 7yrs. As I have grown in my Career it sparked something in me to start my own scrub brand. After working in healthcare for so long I noticed how uncomfortable scrub uniform was, nothing fit me or my fellow co-workers, to big, uncomfortable fabric. I wanted to change the function of traditional scrubs. Unique Scrubs was then birthed in 2020.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Hmmm. I really don’t have a favorite place because Atlanta has so many good options. I would say downtown Atlantic Station you have shopping, food, movies it’s like a one stop shop for shopping and entertainment. Then head to Ponce City Market for some drinks and good rooftop view of Atlanta at sunset. Of course, we can’t skip the night life, lets head to the clubs downtown Gold Room or Club Revel is always a good time.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
