The law of attraction is real and I feel that what you put out into the world is what you get back. Even when a patient might not see the same beauty I see, I try my best to point that out to them and to help them feel great. My job is to help bring out the best in people. I want them to leave my office feeling amazing. I am very intentional with keeping a positive mindset and attitude especially when I am with my patients. They have taught me to be a positive light.I need my patient’s to see my taking care of myself and I need to inspire and set the example for them to do the same. As time goes on, the sort of provider I am begins to show in the sort of patients I attract. This goes for taking care of my skin, but it also goes much deeper into taking care of myself as a whole. Not only do I instruct and educate my patients but I have to also do what I instruct and educate them on. I am a firm believer of leading by example. They have taught me to be a role model.I love being able to help people of all walks of life.

At the end of the day we are all human and we all want to feel good and to love and be loved. No matter what race, religion, gender, sexual orientation a patient may be….we all still share the same desire to feel good. Everyone wants to look their best and FEEL amazing. Each and everyone of my patients is unique, yet every patient who sits in my chair shares the same goals. They have taught me that we’re all so different yet we’re the same.As they trust me and as we build the relationship, the trust becomes reciprocal and we become an unbreakable team. I appreciate that and it is something I do not take lightly. Patients share the deepest parts of their lives with me. When my patients sign up to see me, they are telling me that they trust my knowledge, judgment, experience and ability to manage their care effectively. This is what an effective provider/patient relationship is built upon. I have learned to always give the person in front of me my full undivided attention and I try to apply that into all aspects of my life. My patient’s are the ones who have pointed out to me that this undivided attention makes them feel very cared for. When I give my patient 100% of my attention, they can tell, and there is a deep appreciation that comes along with that. Whether I am learning about them as a person, assessing their face, or creating a treatment plan, I have learned to take my time and help the patient work the issue at hand. Taking time to sit, interact and dialogue with my patients has taught me tremendous patience. My patient’s have helped me learn to stop and listen. It is in those still moments of listening that I am able to connect with people and help them to my best ability. I see a lot of patients in a given day and my days go FAST moving from room to room, so it has taken years to really master my ability to just stop and be in the moment. The treatment room is where I’ve learned to sharpen my listening skills. They have taught me to be a good listener.It is through the endless interactions and communication with people that my career has given me the opportunity to learn a lot, not only about my patients but also about myself! why I love my patients and the lessons they have taught me What I have come to love most about my career is the ability to interact with so many amazing people. Aesthetic medicine is the perfect blend of those two worlds for me. I got into this field because of my passion for helping others and for my love for all things beauty. As I reflected on my career path I came to realize that without the experiences I have had over the past 12+ years, I would not have enjoyed aesthetic medicine quite as much as I do. Last month, I did an interview for Allergan about my career and why I chose it.

All my patients are women
