                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 9, 2013

  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Clem 
Melton Doxey for his long and distinguished career in medicine, and as 
the founder of Marietta Dermatology and The Skin Cancer Center.
   On September 30, Dr. Doxey retired from his practice after 43 years 
of service to his patients and his community.
   Since he began Marietta Dermatology in 1970, Doxey's passion for 
helping people has shown through his dedication to continue expanding 
his practice and personally serving between 40 and 50 patients a day. 
Dr. Doxey was the first dermatologist in the Marietta area, and his 
practice has since grown to 80 employees--including 11 partner 
physicians--at three locations in Marietta, Canton, and West Cobb.
   A native of Louisiana, Doxey received his undergraduate degree in 
chemical engineering as well as a medical degree from Louisiana State 
University. After completing an internship at Oaknoll Naval Hospital, 
he graduated from Pensacola School of Medicine as a flight surgeon in 
1963. He served in the First Marine Brigade in Vietnam, and then 
completed his dermatology residency at Tulane Hospital in 1970. 
Thereafter, Doxey moved to Cobb County with his family where he would 
serve the community with his knowledge of medicine. He also taught 
residents at Emory University for 22 years.
   Mr. Speaker, I extend my deepest thanks to Dr. Doxey again for his 
lifelong devotion to the practice of medicine and dedication to the 
people of our Northwest Georgia community. I wish him a joyous--and 
well-deserved--retirement.
