About Me
I am a dermatologist at Ohio State and I’m board certified in both dermatology and gynecology. I specialize in treating dermatologic disease in pregnancy, vulvar diseases and dermatologic surgery. I decided to pursue dermatology because I found in my general OB/GYN practice that many women were undertreated for skin disease in pregnancy. I also realized that women were inadequately treated for disabling vulvar diseases that had a negative impact on their lives.
In regard to patient care, I believe in developing collaborative relationships with patients where we work together as a team to create a treatment plan.
Working at Ohio State means I have the opportunity to collaborate with physicians in other specialties who have unique clinical and research interests. I also love teaching future physicians and dermatologists.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband, son and dog. I also enjoy personal training, traveling, volunteering at my son’s school library, playing the violin and playing the piano.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 10/25/2021, Dr. Tyler has reported no relationships with companies or entities.

Dr. Tyler was amazing! She answered all of my questions thoroughly and in a way I could understand. I was prepared for the next steps in my treatment plan following my visit with her.
She listened to my concerns and frustration in dealing with my skin problems unlike the previous doctor I had seen. She explained things clearly and developed a plan to deal with the problem. For the first time in a long time I feel as though things will get better. See
Great care!
Very nice doctor, listen carefully.
She was very friendly and helpful assistant very nice and helpful.
Dr. Tyler is not my PCP, but dermatologist. I only see her once a year unless I have a break out related to my skin condition. I had a massive break out and I was able to get an appointment within a week. I was given a shot "to calm things down," and a prescription medication to apply topically. Most of my problem has cleared.
Dr. Tyler is a wonderful dr. She takes time to check my whole body for skin cancer. No cancer - Yeah!
Dr. Tyler is absolutely the best. I would want to go anywhere else for dermatology care.

She wasn't very sympathetic. Something that I consider hard and life changing she acted like it was no big deal and like it didn't matter.
Dr. Tyler is very good. She came in marked the area on my arm went through, everything she was going to do. Then she did the procedure, it all went very well.

Dr. Tyler has been a great provider! Very patient & personable.
My provider made me feel that I could connect with her on a more personal level by asking me about my summer plans and talking to me about my grandson and her son.
I would think a whole body scan should be a little more less rushed and more closely looked at and felt.
She was there watching as the student doctor did the procedure. I felt well cared for.
Excellent, very caring & PROFESSIONAL.
Always concerned & kind.
She is awesome!! I never feel uncomfortable and she explains everything and I never feel hurried. Very nice, respectful and caring doctor!!
She was very good in trying a second medicine when the first seemed ineffective (dermatology).
Efficient yet thorough
she was friendly but I felt rushed. she gave me very generic answers to questions, even when I asked for more details. I waited 30 minutes in the lobby for a a rushed exam. I definitely don't feel it was a very thorough exam.
Dr. Tyler was excellent!
The doctor was clear on explaining information, and answering my questions.

Good listener, caring approach, thorough & efficient.

SO amazing! Is solving my "issue" with her expertise and I am incredibly grateful. Especially because other doctors didn't know what to do. Other doctors made me feel like a freak. Dr. Tyler made me feel normal. I LOVE HER!
Dr. Tyler is very knowledgeable and good at explaining the issues. Her approach is respectful and caring. I appreciate her kindness and patience during each visit as I find all medical appointments to be very stressful.

Listened and explained. Made me feel extremely comfortable. Did not judge my body whatsoevery.
She addressed my concerns thoroughly. She didn't rush at all through my exam. She is a thoughtful, knowledgeable, helpful physician.
This is the 3rd dermatologist I have visited this year: The first was disinterested, the second could not help me and didn't recognize the problem. Dr. Tyler was my third and she immediately recognized the problem. She gave me a prescription which began to walk almost immediately. I am pleased beyond measure to FINALLY have an answer to my problem and apparently a cure, too!
very thorough and listened to me
I love Dr. Tyler, she's the best.
Doctor showed concern and compassion for my issue and feelings. Left office feeling better about the visit than previous dermatologists seen at other practices for same issue.
I'm grateful Dr. Tyler is my dermatologist.
Excellent exchange.
Very pleasant, good bedside manner, felt like I was family. Very impressed. Not many drs. like that anymore!
Dr Tyler is knowledgeable and succinct in completing a routine visit while adequately addressing any questions I had.
Always good to see Dr. Tyler, she's a huge improvement over the intern seen at the Wexner Medical Center.
She is always on time, polite and explains everything so I understand any issues and how to care for them.
I felt a bit rushed.
She is the best!
Dr. Tyler is very kind & respectful when she is examining my skin. She keeps me covered for privacy. She also explained the needed follow-up in an easy to understand manner.
I waited to see this physician for 2 month. I was full of hope & maybe I was expected miracles. But I felt this physician had no empathy. Talked to me as just like reading text book. She explained like book and gave options. I thought she might have understood, or try to understand where I came from - what sadness I have loosing hairs... she was very matter of fact. I felt put out! I really did not have to go see specialist, my PCP could have done better for me.
One of my favorite providers (doc's), learn a bit more every visit and trust I'm getting the best care.
Answered all my questions, no matter how small, w/o making me feel stupid. She's one of the best.
My first visit, but felt very comfortable and would recommend.
An excellent clinician; a caring professional.
Dr. Kelly is very easy to talk to takes her time and I feel good when I leave her office.
Friendly & helpful!!
Dr Tyler is very thorough and pleasant. explains findings during skin check
