Dermatologist Dr. Tiffany Wu has joined Optima Dermatology’s Macedonia and Rocky River, OH practices, expanding patient access to treatments for a variety of skin conditions including acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin cancer, and more.
Dr. Wu completed her residency in dermatology at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and was selected to serve as Chief Resident during her final year of training. She gained valuable experience during an additional year performing dermatology clinical trials at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where she evaluated emerging therapies in atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acne, and dermatomyositis.
She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and her Doctor of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. During an additional year of medical school, she attended Stanford University to study translational research, examining datasets of patients with dermatomyositis, pachyonychia congenita, and Gorlin syndrome to bridge basic science and clinical application in dermatology.
She has been featured in numerous dermatology-focused medical publications and readily takes on community service and leadership roles.

We recently had the opportunity to learn more about Dr. Wu, her approach, and the path that led her to become a dermatologist.
What made you decide to pursue a career in dermatology? What did the path to get there look like for you?
When I was in college, I worked as a scribe at a dermatology clinic. This was my first exposure to the field, and I was inspired by the wide variety of conditions dermatologists treat, as well as the long-term relationships they build with their patients. That early experience sparked my interest in dermatology and led me to pursue additional opportunities throughout my training. During medical school, I dedicated a year to translational dermatology research, where I gained a deeper appreciation for the complexity of skin disease and the field’s collaborative nature. After medical school, I spent another year working in dermatology clinical trials, bringing promising new therapies to patients. Looking back, I feel incredibly fortunate to care for patients in a field that combines science, problem-solving, and compassionate care with helping patients feel healthier and more confident in their skin.
What is your favorite aspect of being a dermatologist?
I love being able to help patients achieve healthier skin and greater confidence. Skin conditions often impact more than appearance, such as self-esteem and overall quality of life, and can cause physical discomfort such as itching. I enjoy partnering with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan and seeing the positive change healthier skin can make in their lives.
What is your approach to treating your patients?
I believe the best care starts with listening. My approach is centered on building a partnership with each patient and taking the time to ensure patients feel empowered to share their concerns, ask questions, and participate in decisions about their care.
What is your number one tip when it comes to taking care of your skin?
Sun protection! In addition to reducing skin cancer risk, daily sun protection is important in preventing premature skin aging.
What is one thing you want your patients to know about you?
I want my patients to know that we are partners in your healthcare! My goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care so every patient feels heard, supported, and confident.
What do you like to do when you are not in the office treating patients?
Outside of the office, I enjoy lifting weights, doing yoga, and taking aerial classes. I also enjoy exploring local cafes and new restaurants.
