Meet Our Injectors
Meet Barb
Barb, NP-C, began working with an incredible plastic surgeon back in 1985. Dr. John Griffin trusted Barb as a young nurse to work by his side. He taught her all facets of plastic surgery. She assisted him in surgery, did pre- and post-operative teaching, made rounds in the hospital and eventually began injecting dermal fillers. The practice evolved into mostly aesthetic surgical procedures and she began injecting neuro-modulators (Botox) and dermal fillers as a big part of her nursing practice. For the past 14 years Barb also enjoyed working as an Independent Contractor teaching other practitioners the art of facial rejuvenation. She’s been a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgical Nurses (ASPSN) since 1985. Has served in many capacities for ASPSN, and was President of this organization from 2003-2004. She is a Certified Plastic Surgical Nurse (CPSN) and a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist (CANS).
