Dr. Clarence Wiley, MD

Dr. Wiley obtained his M.D. degree in 1977 from Brown University in Providence, RI, where he had also completed his bachelor's and master's degrees. He was the second African American to complete this respected seven-year program and the first to receive all three possible degrees.

After completing his dermatology residency in the recognized program at Barnes Hospital, Washington University Medical Center in St. Louis, MO in 1981, Dr. Wiley began to focus on the areas of dermatology that was his passion: laser and cosmetic dermasurgery, photomedicine, and cosmetic products research and development.

Throughout his years of practice, he has emphasized the concept of attaining and maintaining beauty through healthy skin care. That premise continues to guide him in his cosmetic dermatology practice today.

Dr. Wiley is a diplomat of the American Board of Dermatology, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery and the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery. He is past Chairman of the Dermatology Section of the National Medical Association, representing African American Dermatologists in the U.S.A. and Canada.

When searching for a dermatologic, cosmetic, or laser surgeon, Dr. Wiley encourages you to consider the following facts:

1. Dermasurgeons receive specialty training during a three-year dermatology residency where the focus is the biology and microscopic analysis of healing skin - the key to understanding most cosmetic procedures. These are the last 3 years of 12 years medical training to becoming a dermatologist.

2. The American Board of Medical Specialists, to which all specialty boards are validated, recognizes the American Board of Dermatology as the only board that mandates residency education in liposuction, laser surgery, chemical peeling, hair transplantation, dermabrasion and vein treatments to name a few training requirements. Dr. Clarence Wiley was board certified in 1981.

3. Cosmetic dermasurgeons invented and pioneered tumescent liposuction, most chemical peeling treatments, dermabrasion, hair transplantation, Botox therapy, most cosmetic vein treatments, and cosmetic laser procedures. Dr. Clarence Wiley has 27 years experience in laser and cosmetic dermasurgery. He received his initial training in laser surgery from Dr. Leon Goldman who is recognized as the "Father of Cutaneous Laser Surgery."

So, who do you want to perform or monitor your cosmetic dermatological treatments - A board certified dermasurgeon with over 27 years experience or a non-supervised technician who treats skin in a non-medical clinic operated by a doctor who has no formal training in dermatology and who you may never see or even be available for your evaluation.
