My Top Face Docs of DC… Paul Wharton

Dr. Charles Boyd, Soap Opera Diva and Author Victoria Rowell and Paul Wharton

The question I get the most on the street, at parties and from my fan-mail is “Who takes care of your skin”? Well, it takes a village people (get it “Village People” :-))… I’ve worked with most of the Dr.’s in the city and after several years of trying to find the right fit, here are three that I trust with my face, skin and body. I like them all for different reasons. Visit their websites, call them up for a consultation, get a feel for their personalities and then let their talented hands help you discover the most beautiful you! Just know that they are the best.
