Background
Dr. Crawford is a board-certified general surgeon inspired by the strength and resilience of her patients facing breast cancer. Dr. Crawford has seen that treating disease is only part of helping people feel their best.
Her interest in aesthetic medicine stemmed from this, inspiring her to become certified by the Board of the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine. Her goal in pursuing this is to support people’s confidence by helping them put their best selves forward. Her approach is to collaborate with her clients in developing a customized enhancement of their appearance. Dr. Crawford has partnered with a local non-profit organization supporting breast cancer survivors.
Dr. Crawford brings this philosophy of collaboration and customization to Prosilience Studio, where she enjoys working with people to highlight their natural beauty. A firm believer that feeling confident in one’s appearance brings out one’s inner beauty, Dr. Crawford strives to provide her clients with aesthetic services that help them to look and feel their very best.
Enhance Your Appearance

Giving back through effort and time is an important attribute of Prosilience. Dr. Crawford’s skill set allows her to help a patient population that wouldn’t think full-body care is “for them”. Dr. Crawford remains committed to helping patients look and feel their best!
