About Sama K. Carley, MD

As an FAAD and FACMS physician, I am a board‑certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon at Sharp Rees-Stealy. After receiving my medical degree at the University of Alabama, I went on to the University of California, Irvine, for dermatology residency, where I served as chief resident, followed by fellowship training in Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology at the Mayo Clinic. I currently run the Multidisciplinary Cutaneous Oncology Tumor Board at Sharp. My expertise includes high‑risk skin cancers (melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and Merkel cell carcinoma), complex facial reconstruction, utilizing immunostaining for frozen sections, dermatologic care of transplant recipients, and the surgical treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa. I have authored numerous articles within the medical literature and am active in multiple leadership positions within the American Academy of Dermatology and the American College of Mohs Surgery. I am regularly invited to speak at local and national conferences on Mohs surgery and dermatologic oncology.
