At Skin Wellness Dermatology, our magic is made possible by our dedicated staff’s incredible knowledge, experience, and dedication. We believe in shining a spotlight on the talented individuals who provide expert care to our valued patients. 

With great excitement, we welcome a new member to our ever-evolving team in Birmingham, AL. Today, we are thrilled to introduce Dr. Sophie Wang and share a glimpse of her story with you. Join us in celebrating the addition of a remarkable professional to our passionate team.

Early Life and Passion for Medicine

Dr. Wang’s early life was a unique experience, moving across the country and embracing a rich collection of hobbies and interests. Born into a family of physicians, she found inspiration in her parents’ dedication to medicine. Dr. Wang affectionately describes her (now retired) mom as a stay-at-home dog mom and culinary extraordinaire. From Dallas to the East Coast, she moved many times throughout her childhood and holds fond memories of many places, unable to call only one home.

She reflects on her upbringing: “Although difficult at the moment, I learned some of the most valuable skills, including communication, resilience, and kindness. Meeting new people and connecting with others became second nature.” 

During her early life, Dr. Wang fostered a diverse array of hobbies – ballet, music, crafts, foreign language and even poetry. While she loved the arts, she was also gifted in the sciences As she tutored peers and delved into community service, the path to a fulfilling career in medicine began to unfold.

Dr. Wang’s Education and Training

Dr. Wang’s path toward dermatology began at Northwestern University, where she graduated with a bachelor of science in Human Communication Sciences with a minor in Spanish. She pursued higher education and enrolled at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, where she earned her Doctorate of Medicine and honed her expertise in Internal Medicine during an internship.

Upon joining her parents in Birmingham, Dr. Wang immersed herself in the world of dermatology at UAB, where she learned to evaluate, treat, and manage all aspects of skin health. Additionally, she completed a fellowship in Dermatopathology at the Cleveland Clinic, where she acquired the skills necessary to diagnose dermatologic disorders histopathologically. 

Throughout her training in both Birmingham and Cleveland, Dr. Wang collaborated with leading experts in cosmetic dermatology, refining her skills in providing personalized, safe, and effective procedures. This journey has shaped Dr. Wang into the knowledgeable dermatologist she is today, dedicated to delivering exceptional care tailored to each individual.

“I have been passionate about dermatology since my teenage years, viewing it as a unique field with opportunities to address all aspects of patient health. Because skin disease is visible, its implications transcend the physical to impact mental, emotional, and social well-being,” shares Dr. Wang. “I also love the artistic nature and creative element of anti-aging and aesthetics. A trained, discerning eye is more valuable than any fixed template or so-called beauty ideal.”

Dr Wang’s Life Outside the Office

When Dr. Wang isn’t busy caring for her patients, she spends time with her friends and family, not to forget her adorable bichon frise, Holly. She deeply loves travel,  the culinary arts, literature, and fashion.

“I love experiencing different cultures and exploring all that the world has to offer,” says Dr. Wang. Some of her most treasured travel memories include bathing elephants and getting (involuntarily) soaked at the Songkran water festival in Thailand, swimming with dolphins in Mexico, hiking the breathtaking cliffs of Bali, vintage shopping in Paris, exploring the local fish markets in Japan, wine tasting in the Douro Valley, and eating all the tapas in Spain.

Dr. Wang’s mantra used to be ” An adventure a day keeps the doctor away!” Today, she aims to make every Skin Wellness visit delightful, ensuring you’re always excited about your next appointment. 

Welcome to Skin Wellness, Dr. Wang!

Dr. Wang’s enthusiasm is palpable as she expresses her gratitude for joining the Skin Wellness team: “I am so grateful for the kindness and patience Dr. Hartman and all the staff have shown me. They have been beyond helpful in my transition, and I could not provide exceptional patient care without them.”
