Overview

I focus on caring for the unique dermatological needs of solid organ transplant recipients. Specifically, I am an expert in diagnosing and treating skin diseases that affect transplant patients, especially skin cancer and infections. I also dedicate my time to doing research on how skin cancer affects this special population and how we may better prevent and treat their skin cancers. When I'm not seeing patients or doing research, I like to spend time outside with my husband and two boys.

Dr. Whitley is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Psoriasis. Her top areas of expertise are Pyoderma Gangrenosum, Melanoma, Actinic Keratosis, and Warts.

Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 48 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years. In particular, she has co-authored 2 articles in the study of Psoriasis.
