Proven Expertise

Training & Experience

After graduating from the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Dr. Parkins completed a residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin. She is board certified in plastic surgery and has been practicing for more than a decade. She is an active member of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

Dr. Parkins found her way to aesthetic medicine through a summer internship, after completing her master’s degree in biomedical engineering. During this time, she worked on artificial skin substitutes for patients with burn wounds and volunteered in a burn unit. This experience made her realize that she wanted to work directly with patients, not in a lab. Burn is a part of plastic surgery and was her initial interest in medicine.

    First Class Experience

    My experience with Dr. Parkins and her entire staff was first class. From our initial meeting, through surgery, and follow-up, I was completely informed, confident, and comfortable. Dr. Parkins was extremely knowledgable yet could explain the medical terms in ways I could understand and be confident in the procedure I chose to be right for me. I never felt pressured to choose a certain procedure, yet I was educated on all my options. Everything turned out better than expected. This is the type of experience you can only truly understand their excellence by experiencing it yourself!
