A little extra appreciation for Dante today 🤍
For the past four years, Dante has been such an important part of our ACORD team.
As one of our Medical Assistants, she’s one of those people who is always there when you need her, whether she’s supporting our providers, caring for patients, or keeping things moving throughout a busy day!
So much of what she does happens behind the scenes, but it never goes unnoticed by our team.
Happy Medical Assistant Day, Dante! Our patients are so grateful to have you! 🥳

Why Dante chose aesthetics ✨
“I’ve always found it rewarding to make people feel comfortable and supported. Becoming a medical assistant felt like a natural fit because I enjoy helping others and building genuine connections with patients. My interest in aesthetics grew from seeing the positive impact it can have on how someone feels about themselves. I love combining patient care with my passion for aesthetics while continuing to learn and grow in a field I truly enjoy.”

Another trip around the sun for our lovely Cameron 🎉
Wishing the happiest birthday to one of our amazing Patient Service Representatives!
When she’s not making our patients feel welcomed and cared for, Cameron loves traveling (7 countries and counting! 🌎), spending time with her dogs, and getting creative with thrifting, antiques, and crafts.
She’s also a proud JMU Duke, a self-care enthusiast, and the sweetest aunt to her niece!
Cameron, thank you for all you do to make our patients feel special. We hope your birthday is filled with all your favorite things and is just as wonderful as you are!
Help us celebrate Cameron by leaving her some birthday love in the comments below 🥳

Some of us work for our families. Others work to fund our love for 7Brew 😌
We all have our own reasons for showing up every day, but one thing we have in common is that we love what we do and the people we get to do it with 🥰

Happy Aesthetician’s Day to the women behind so many of your favorite treatments at ACORD 🤍
Today we’re celebrating Lacey, Taylor, and Melissa and the knowledge, artistry, and care they bring to their work every day.
There’s so much that goes into being a Medical Aesthetician beyond performing a treatment, and we’re incredibly proud of the way these three continue to learn, grow, and care for every patient who walks through our doors.
Swipe to get to know our Medical Aestheticians a little better and help us celebrate them in the comments 🎊

Why Lacey chose aesthetics ✨
“I chose aesthetics because it allowed me to combine my love for science and the beauty industry. I also love the opportunity to make people feel confident and beautiful in their own skin!”
Want to book with Lacey? DM us “BOOK” to get all the details on how to book your appointment.
Why Taylor chose aesthetics ✨
“I chose aesthetics because it’s a mix of science and creativity. Acne growing up made me aware of the things I put on my face. I enjoy cooking in the kitchen and crafting, and my job is oddly similar. Following recipes and understanding ingredients and making it look easy!”
Want to book with Taylor? DM us “BOOK” to get all the details on how to book your appointment.
Why Melissa chose aesthetics ✨
“My original motivation for choosing aesthetics was to heal my own skin. As a woman w/ PMOS, hormonal acne had always been an issue for me. After exhausting all other resources to no avail, I decided I’d learn to heal my own skin. It was a perfect fit because I love to work with people and help them accomplish their own goals. I am also a lifelong learner, and I love the growth our industry constantly experiences.”
