I have worked with Dr. Kris Shewmake for the past 14 years as his nurse and assistant in surgery. Three years ago, Dr. Shewmake and I opened a new office/skin care center to offer our patients the best of both surgical and nonsurgical skin treatments. By combining the newest innovations in skin care with an outstanding team of skin care professionals, we are rapidly becoming the destination for quality skin care for Arkansas and surrounding areas.

Seeing the look on the patient’s face after a procedure or treatment, knowing they are happy and that this is a positive change for them in some way.
