Renee,
Director
Renee oversees virtually all aspects of the practice as director at Buckhead Plastic Surgery. She coordinates all beauty events, business operations, public relations, and sales and marketing efforts. Impressed with Dr. Larsen’s passion, surgical skill, and bedside manner since she first stared working closely with him in 2007, Renee joined his practice in 2010. She’s made the most of her time here, influencing the expansion of the plastic surgery practice, LUX Med Spa, and Slim Studio through her dedication and leadership skills. Renee’s passion for helping patients remain youthful, while working alongside Dr. Larsen in a concierge-patient environment, is apparent to both co-workers and patients.
