Happy holidays, from all of us at Ascend Aesthetic Partners! ??????

In our field, a patient's trust means everything. Their level of comfort, nerves, and confidence all rely on our surgeons during these life-changing procedures. Even with our surgeons' high level of credibility through board certification, years of experience, and collaboration through the Ascend network - they still go the extra mile in treating every patient with exceptional care. Answering their questions and addressing any concerns makes patients feel safe in the doctor's hands. The reviews speak for themselves! Our doctors are thankful for every patient that has stepped through their doors.

Nouvo Med Spa’s grand opening was a big success! ??

This is a big step for Tallahassee Plastic Surgery Clinic and Nouvo. We’re excited to see them grow in the world of aesthetics! ?
