DR MONICA MICHEL, Founder and President
Dr. Monica Michel obtained her Medical Degree in 2009 and began postgraduate medical training in general surgery. In 2011, she decided to transition into family and aesthetic medicine. Subsequently, she completed a family practice residency at Akron General Hospital and training in aesthetic medicine at the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine. Dr. Monica Michel was inspired to pursue training in aesthetic medicine because it merges her passion for medicine and for beauty.
Dr. Monica Michel noticed that throughout the years of training, producing good outcomes contributed to patients’ physical and emotional well-being. She felt that to be successful in advanced medical aesthetics, one needed to take the time to understand the patient’s psyche and have a profound knowledge of human anatomy. Dr. Monica Michel feels passionate about approaching an aesthetic patient with compassion and integrity, doing only what we are trained well to do, and producing beautiful outcomes.
