You’re not just an appointment slot. You’re not just another acne case or suspicious mole. You’re a person with unique skin concerns that deserve genuine attention and collaborative solutions.
At Premier Dermatology, you’ll work directly with Dr. Jewell Gaulding, an experienced, board-certified dermatologist who takes the time to understand your complete skin journey and create a treatment plan that actually fits your life.
A Cincinnati native and Walnut Hills graduate, Dr. Gaulding has deep roots in our community. After earning her undergraduate degree with honors in Molecular Genetics and a minor in Psychology from The Ohio State University, she completed her medical training at the University of Louisville School of Medicine.
Following her dermatology training at the prestigious Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Dr. Gaulding began to have a unique perspective—realizing that skin health is both a science and a deeply personal journey. She eventually returned home to Cincinnati with extensive experience and a growing frustration. After years of watching patients feel rushed and unheard in high-volume practices, she knew there had to be a better way. She left the “dermatology factory” model behind to create something revolutionary: a practice where patients actually feel cared for.
Dr. Gaulding has published articles on various aspects of dermatology and presented research around the country. But credentials only tell part of the story. What truly sets her apart is her belief that great dermatology happens through partnership. She sees her role not as someone who dictates treatment but as a partner offering expert guidance.
