About Dr. Wade Keller, DO, FAOCD
Dr. Keller loves being a physician and all of the many fields of medicine. During medical school, he frequently wanted to change his specialization. No matter the rotation, pediatrics, surgery, internal medicine, etc., he always enjoyed it so much that he wanted to make it his specialty.

Fortunately for us, that all changed when he started his dermatology rotation. From the first day of the rotation, he knew that dermatology was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. “I trusted my feelings, and I knew how dermatology made me feel. It is exactly how I felt when I asked my wife to marry me. Dermatology has provided me the opportunity to spend the rest of my life with a specialty that I know I love.”
He may be a dermatologist, but Dr. Keller understands the body from the inside out. He began his health education as a massage therapist where he learned about the internal habits and tendencies of the body. He then received his Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology from the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. After college, Dr. Keller attended Midwestern University in Glendale, AZ where he graduated with honors as a Doctor of Osteopathy. He then moved the Athens, OH where he performed a traditional rotating internship and family medicine residency at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital. He completed a second residency in dermatology at Arizona Desert Dermatology & Surgery/MWU located in Kingman, AZ.
Dr. Keller enjoys doing volunteer work to promote healthy skin and is a member of many dermatological societies including the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, American Society for Mohs Surgery, American Academy of Dermatology and the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology. He specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of all skin disorders and is especially adept and enjoys performing Mohs micrographic surgery for the precise removal of skin cancer.
