Surgery is often an emotional journey in addition to a physical one, and Alexis plays an integral part in preparing patients mentally and encouraging confidence in their decision to move forward with surgery. Most recently, she oversaw our surgery center’s accreditation in addition to assisting patients throughout their surgery experience. This gave her a deep understanding of facial anatomy, which is very important when it comes to safe injection practices. “I love being able to help patients holistically and strive to provide only the best care and results. What I love about SKY is the experience you receive from start to finish; it’s unlike anything I’ve received from other medical offices.” shares Alexis. “It’s been such a rewarding experience for me guiding patients towards their aesthetic goals. I’m thrilled to have Dr. Yoo as my mentor and am grateful for the opportunity to have learned from him first-hand.”.
