When I was in college at Emory University, I knew I wanted to get into medicine. I thought I would go to medical school and be on the path to an MD. I was always interested in the practice of medicine, but I was hesitant about committing to the long road that is medical school and medical training. What if I hated it? What if I wanted to have children? Would I miss the first ten years of their lives while in residence/training? There are plenty of women physicians who manage the task of balancing work and home life and do it quite well. However, the further I went into pre-medical course training, I questioned the path I was on. It wasn’t until I was studying abroad in Italy that I met a medical resident who introduced me to the idea of a physician assistant career. WHAT! This seemed like the best of both worlds. I then began looking into physician assistant training and the journey began…
Physician assistants are medical professionals who diagnose illnesses, develop and manage treatment plans, and prescribe medications. We work closely with physicians to take great care of our patients. As a PA, I have a masters degree in medical science, am nationally board certified to practice medicine, and have spent countless hours training in my subspecialty. I attend continuing medical education conferences yearly in efforts to stay up to date with new advances in the field.
As an aesthetic injector, I have spent many years training in technique and the art of injecting. My goal is to work with my patients to achieve their cosmetic goals. I provide nonsurgical procedures for my patients that complement the surgical expertise of Dr. Yellin. It is important to me that my patients feel comfortable and know that the overall goal is natural results.
