Full Practice Authority Nurse Practitioner 

I started my career as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Palos Hospital in 2003 long before it became Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital while I was in nursing school. After realizing that the big university scene was not for me, I transferred from Northern Illinois University to University of St. Francis. I lived with my mom, dad, and two sisters while I attended school. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree in 2005 as an Registered Nurse. I began my career at Loyola University Medical Center. I primarily worked in oncology, hematology, and bone marrow transplant. During my time at Loyola University medical center, I began graduate school at Loyola University and graduated in 2010 as an Adult Health Nurse Practitioner. I worked in an outpatient cancer center and rounded at several local hospitals until 2019. At that time, I decided to go back to school to learn aesthetics and realized this was the change I needed in my career. Since then, the rest is history! I knew I did not want to work in a big luxurious med spa. I wanted to be a real mom with real expectations. Hence, Express Med Spa was born! I love traveling, cars, and biking with my kids. I also have a 3-year-old Great Dane named Jade. We love living in Downtown Frankfort and walking to all of the shops and restaurants!

    This was my second time filler, first with Express Medical Spa. There is no better way to describe the experience other than amazing! The staff was so helpful and friendly while being so early in the morning. The injector, Steph G., did an amazing job explaining what she was doing during the appointment. The numbing cream was perfect and the pain level was very low. She created a beautiful and voluminous shape to my lips. I feel so great with my results and cannot wait to be back for more!

    A Testament to Excellence: My Journey with Express Med SpaExpress Med Spa stands unrivaled as the premier destination for aesthetic and cosmetic excellence. I proudly consider myself "the OG Client," having discovered this gem when they first opened their doors in downtown Frankfort during the height of COVID-19—a time when medical spas were scarce and appointments nearly impossible to secure amidst the pandemic chaos.Yes, I'm vain, and I own it unapologetically. There's nothing wrong with investing in your appearance and waging an aggressive campaign against aging. If you're seeking world-class results delivered with impeccable precision and white-glove service, Express Med Spa is your destination.The Visionary Behind Their BrandMedical Director Stephanie is nothing short of extraordinary. Her expertise in cosmetic injections and cutting-edge anti-aging protocols is matched only by her artistic vision and unwavering commitment to perfection. She cultivates a culture of excellence, training her nurse injectors to embody the same meticulous standards she demands of herself. Stephanie is uncompromising—mediocrity simply isn't tolerated. She ensures every client experience exceeds expectations, guaranteeing you leave feeling red-carpet ready and absolutely radiant.Unparalleled in the IndustryHaving visited between 15 and 20 medical spas, I know, a bit obsessive: I can confidently say none compare to Express Med Spa's elite level of service and flawless execution. Too often, other facilities fall short—whether through careless mistakes, post-procedure complications, or subtle disappointments that chip away at expectations. As someone exceptionally particular and discerning about who touches my face and what treatments I receive, I can attest that Express Med Spa has never once failed to deliver perfection.My Signature TreatmentsMy regular regimen includes: neurotoxin injections, VI Peels, radiofrequency treatments, microneedling with salmon DNA and exosomes, and PRP therapy for hair restoration. Most recently, I underwent jawline contouring for enhanced definition in my branding photos. The results surpassed even my highest expectations—I genuinely couldn't believe how phenomenal I looked. Stephanie's work was transformative. This is precisely why she's the best in the business.Cosmetic enhancement is both a gift and an art form. Training alone doesn't create mastery—it requires innate talent, and Stephanie possesses it in abundance. Her nursing team reflects that same exceptional caliber.The Heart of the ExperienceI must also recognize Vicki, the manager and customer service director, whose warmth and enthusiasm create an atmosphere of genuine care. Her greeting alone transforms the experience, offering a sanctuary from life's stresses. Every visit becomes a mini-escape, made all the more special by both Vicki and Stephanie's presence. I've also had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Jen, one of Stephanie's nurse injectors, who was equally outstanding—as is the entire team.The Bottom LineI wouldn't trust anyone else in this region with my aesthetic needs. Express Med Spa delivers results that are simply unattainable elsewhere. At 42 years old (or thereabouts—Stephanie would need to check my chart at this point), I'm actively reversing my biological clock. People consistently tell me I look 22, and that's entirely thanks to Stephanie's long-term care and expertise. Under her guidance, I experience zero anxiety and complete confidence. I trust her judgment implicitly, and I always leave looking absolutely phenomenal.Thank you, Express Med Spa, for your unwavering excellence and for never once letting me down.

    I started my tox journey at the Mount Greenwood location and have had the pleasure of working with both Stefanie and Tami. I first saw Stefanie because I was quite nervous and really wanted to first be seen by the woman who started it all. I wasn’t let down, and you can tell immediately after meeting Stefanie that she is extremely knowledgeable and doesn’t hesitate to give you an informed answer to any questions. I also love that when I showed interest in something new (TMJ) she wasn’t pushy and gave me alternatives to try/habits to break prior to committing to a new treatment. I saw Tami while Stefanie was on vacation, and also received the same knowledge and care. Tami is the sweetest and I loved my results from her as well. Receiving the treatment that I did from both of these women, gives me the confidence to see anyone at Express MedSpa. Thank you guys for your knowledge and for making the MedSpa experience far less intimidating than I thought it would be!
