Both her parents were doctors: her father a gastroenterologist and her mother a pediatrician.[1] She attended Yale University as an undergraduate and earned an MD at the Yale University School of Medicine as well. After completing a year in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, she finished her residency in dermatology at Yale, where she served as chief resident.[2]

Career

[edit]

Mariewella is a double board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon[3] and was an assistant professor at Stony Brook University[1]. Before starting her practice in Long Island, she was the director of cutaneous oncology at St. Luke's Roosevelt and Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan [4].

Widely acknowledged as a leader in skin cancer and aesthetic and medical dermatology, Mariwalla is the author of several books, including the recent The Business of Dermatology (co-authored with Jeffrey Dover).[5] She has published extensively in medical journals, on subjects ranging from standardized criteria for skin quality[6] to accurately determining shades of skin color[7]. Mariwalla is also an advocate of "cultural competency" in order to best serve diverse patients[8]and has spoken on how practices like anti-aging may differ between different skin tones.

Mariwalla is passionate about dermatologic surgical education and is a founding member of Boards University[9]. Boards University aims to "change the way medical education is delivered" while ensuring that "learning from leaders is accessible". During the pandemic, she founded the 21@21 initiative on social media to help educate dermatology residents and Mohs surgeons. It is still used as a resource by residents preparing for exams[3]. Her book, Primer in Dermatologic Surgery, is also widely used by students and doctors alike.

Mariwalla has appeared on a number of prominent media outlets, including NBC New York[10]. She has also lent her expertise to a variety of beauty magazines and publications, including Vogue[11] and Allure[12], as well as serving on the Byrdie Beauty & Wellness Board[2].
