Dr. Walter B. Shelley

His textbook, Advanced Dermatologic Therapy II, is the best Derm book ever written. It is my go to when I have a difficult case. Shelly and Shelly were light years ahead. Published in 2001, still remains a "bible of Dermatology therapy" in 2024. I am forever grateful the his work, and I love the format, and the diary entries. They paid attention to the details, and have helped me so much in my own career as a Dermatologist.

Dr. Dorinda,
My prayers are with you.

My prayers are with you.

Walter Shelley played a main role in my childhood. His daughter Barbara and I were best friends and many hours were spent at their home. I know he played a role in my decision to pursue a career in health and research. My thoughts are with his family.

Hi Dorinda,

I was saddened to learn of Walter's death. It was a privilege to serve under his tutelage during my derm residency at Penn and to later share in our love for words and Dobermans.

Dorinda,
Lori and I have had you and Walter in our minds so often in the years since we left MCO. We were talking about you both last night, and I googled you to find where you were, and saw the obituary. We were both very sad, but we are so lucky to have known you and Walter. May God bless you and your family. With love,
Tom and Lori Jackson

It was not only a pleasure but downright fun working and talking with Walter in the library. My deepest sympathy and warmest regards to you, Dorinda and Family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. May the knowledge that your separation is only temporary bring you comfort.

It was an honor to know Dr. Shelly and have both of you share your stories about your interesting and wonderful life.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
