Meet our Aesthetic Nurse
Chrissey began her nursing career over 5 years ago, with experience as a respiratory therapist, clinical research for Cardiac ICU, and behavioral health for adolescents. Dr. Chia Chi Kao first encouraged Chrissey to begin her aesthetic journey when he recognized her empathy and compassion built strong patient relationships.
Chrissey’s favorite part of being an aesthetic nurse is getting to know her patients one on one and truly understanding their desires. Chrissey gives every patient a unique experience assisting them in their journey to bettering their health, sense of self, and overall well-being.
Chrissey’s philosophy for patient care:
“I love helping others feel their best and happiest version of themselves! When we feel good, we project that version into our everyday lives and onto others. I want to make an impactful difference in the lives of others, and I strive every day to honor that commitment.”
A unique fact about Chrissey is that she is a fraternal twin! When not in the office, she enjoys spending time with her loved ones, staying physically active, cooking, reading, working with her hands doing pottery, sewing, drawing, and most importantly, self-care days!
