Meet Our Doctors


David Spencer, M.D.


Dr. Spencer grew up in Danville, Illinois, the son of a dermatologist. After undergraduate and graduate studies in music and theology at Peabody Conservatory and Oral Roberts University, he began medical training at the University of Oklahoma, School of Medicine. He received his medical degree and trained in Pediatrics at the University of Oklahoma from 1987-1990. He then completed his dermatology residency at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, from 1990-1993, and a Cosmetic Surgery and Mohs Surgery Fellowship in Arkansas from 1993-1994.

Dr. Spencer’s thirteen-year practice combines the benefits of dermatology and cosmetic surgery. Because he is committed to skin health, Dr. Spencer has created his own skin care line called Skinsiderations. This product line combines the benefits of alpha hydroxy acid, retinol, vitamin C, and the newest anti-aging ingredients DMA (dimethylaminoethanol) and ALA (alpha lipoic acid). After extensive testing which demonstrated a thickening of the collagen bundles in the dermis, Dr. Spencer finalized the formulation with the US Patent Office which is medically beneficial as well as cosmetically elegant.

Dr. Spencer and his wife Donna have three children. Dr. Spencer enjoys golf, running, church activities, and spending time with family and friends.
