“I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I received my MD Degree at St. George’s University School of Medicine, Grenada West Indies in 2007. After completing my residency from 2007-2010 at Somerset Medical Center in NJ I began my career in Urgent Care and eventually moved to Amarillo, TX to work at BSA Urgent Care. 

I am a wife and mother to four children, two boys and two girls. I love to read classic novels and travel with my family!"

“I love the Restylane Filler Line, I am currently working on my lips!”

"I started Progress in September 2014. We have only continued to grow and add providers and Medical and Day Spa services since then. I was initially inspired to get my own 1.5 sq ft of tattoos removed from my own body. I guess you could say I fell in love with lasers after that. I have done all my training with the Texas Laser Institute. Lasers are such incredible tools and the things we can accomplish with them just blow my mind. I also have a Professional Laser Hair Removal License with the state and am one of a few with my level of state certification in Amarillo for hair removal. In June of 2019 I also started the very first non-profit association for those in Texas Med Spas across the state - Texas Med Spa Association - fighting for those who have invested heavily into non-surgical aesthetics across Texas as facilities and providers under the TMB Rule 193.17 and I serve my role as a Secretary."

"My favorite service to provide is Laser Tattoo Removal! I started as a client of Lydia’s several years ago removing a tattoo of my own and that is where the fascination began. I love the technical side of laser treatments and get excited thinking about the capabilities. Albert Einstein began to conceptualize laser technology in the early 1900s and is responsible for creating the first operational laser device in 1960. Now lasers are used biomedically, cosmetically, and with other endless options for laser application. I love being a laser technician and can’t wait to see where further innovations take us."

"Massage therapy is one of my favorite services because the benefits are endless. I also love dermaplaning because it is exfoliating and leaves my face feeling smooth and looking bright. I can’t pick just one, so I have to add brow lamination with brow tinting. I have very light blonde eyebrows and it takes me from barely visible eyebrows to eyebrows you can see with a great shape."

"Hi, I'm Monica Tijerina. I'm from Hereford, TX and have three children who motivate me to strive for greatness. My passion has forever been to help people feel and look great. I have been a full licensed Cosmetologist since 2005, and specialize in men and women full body sugaring. Continuing my career as an Esthetician will allow me the opportunity to help people in a relaxing environment and offer a variety of services.”
