At W Aesthetics and Wellness our goal is to set the standard of excellence in the industry for both our team, and our patients. When our Founder, Wendy Jacobson, started W Aesthetics and Wellness her mantra was that ‘We don’t need to be the Biggest, but we do want to be the BEST’. As a result, we attract the top talent in every role on both the clinical care side, and the administrative side of our business. For new patients we understand that finding the right partner to support you in enhancing your natural beauty, or addressing an insecurity, can be stressful. This process should involve a lot of thought, and there is a lot of misleading information out there, so let us help.

When you schedule a consultation at W Aesthetics and Wellness, we take as much time as you need to ensure that we hear your concerns, and that we provide you with all of the options available to get you the best outcome possible… Even if it means that we refer you to one of our trusted partners for a treatment that we don’t provide.

With over 100 years of combined clinical experience in Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, Women’s Health, Injectable Services, Facial Services, and Mastering the Science of the Skin we are confident that before you leave, you will have a personalized treatment plan with recommendations to help you feel, and look your very best.
