Vivian has a passion for destigmatizing medical aesthetics. She feels that there continues to be a taboo on plastic surgery, even with simple treatments such as Botox and fillers, and wants to play a part in changing that narrative. She firmly believes that there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to look and feel your best. As our Patient Care Coordinator, Vivian strives to help as many people as possible—whether through educating patients on their treatment options or figuring out a way to make their procedure financially possible.

Vivian is happily married with four children. In her free time, she and her family love to travel, camp, snowboard, and dance. They always have a great time together and truly enjoy everything to its fullest!
