About Me

Dr. Kiyanna Williams is a double board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon dedicated to providing personalized, compassionate care. She believes in building meaningful connections with her patients, listening closely to their concerns, and empowering them through education so they can make informed decisions about their health. Her philosophy centers on creating tailored treatment plans that reflect each patient’s goals, ensuring they feel heard, supported, and cared for every step of the way.

Her passion for dermatology began at just 12 years old, when she discovered one of her mother’s nursing school textbooks filled with images of skin diseases. From that moment, she knew she wanted to become a dermatologist and Mohs surgeon, a dream she pursued with determination and focus. Dr. Williams earned her medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco, completed her dermatology residency at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and advanced her training with a fellowship in Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology at the Cleveland Clinic. She is board-certified by the American Academy of Dermatology in both Dermatology and Mohs Micrographic Surgery.

Today, Dr. Williams brings this extensive training and experience back to the West Coast, where she specializes in Mohs surgery, cosmetic dermatology, and the care of skin of color. She is known not only for her technical expertise but also for her compassionate bedside manner and commitment to helping patients achieve both healthy skin and confidence.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Williams is a lifelong learner who thrives on new experiences. She enjoys an ever-growing list of hobbies, including tennis, traveling, yoga, meditation, reading, gardening, and exploring new skills like sourdough baking and Spanish.
