About

Bio

Dr. Jack has a relaxed, friendly personality & helps patients feel comfortable by addressing all of their concerns & leaving no question unanswered. Dr. Jack is extremely detail-oriented & her philosophy is beauty is a package deal, starting from the inside & finishing on the out. She believes that plastic surgery helps to restore and/or enhance a person's natural beauty & wants her patients to know that natural looking results are possible! As a working mom of 2 young girls, Dr. Jack understands what it feels like to have your body change & not feel like you have the time to care for yourself--which is why she wants to help you prioritize self-care, restore confidence in your body, & help you feel confident & comfortable in your own body. Her goal in summary: help you STAY BEAUTIFUL!
