Meet Our Staff

I am so lucky that my business is my passion and it has always been my goal to provide the highest level of patient care and safety.  This is a task of awesome proportions and impossible for any surgeon to do it alone.  I have been honored to have the greatest staff in the world and their care and compassion complete the process of excellence in cosmetic facial surgery.  They are not only talented and compassionate, but active participants in patient care and treatment planning.  They also make going to work fun.
