Ann Tamayo, RN, MBA

Aesthetics Nurse

With over 16 years of experience in some of the most demanding areas of healthcare — including ICU, Emergency Room, Labor & Delivery, and Cardiac Clinic settings, Ann Yowell, RN, brings a unique blend of critical care expertise and compassionate patient-centered care to the world of medical aesthetics.  Her extensive clinical background sources her confidence in procedural skills, safety, and patient trust — all of which are the foundation of her aesthetics practice. As an aesthetics nurse, she combines medical precision with an artistic eye to deliver natural, confident results through treatments such as neurotoxins (aka Botox), dermal fillers, and skin rejuvenation.  Known for her calm, reassuring presence and meticulous technique, her mission is simple: to help every client feel like the best version of themselves — safely, subtly, and beautifully.

“Dr Tamayo has taken wonderful care of me since I had my heart attack and open heart surgery. He has managed my healthcare so well and I trust him with my life. He is so kind, compassionate and listens so well to me. In all the years I've been seeing him I have never felt rushed or brushed off.”

“The virtual appointments are great,  Dr Tamayo spends more time than most MDs and takes care of me very well.  The travel time is cut and I can even do the appointment at work if I need.  The labs are the same, he gives the detailed report and further directions.  I would recommend Dr Tamayo highly.” 

“Dr Tamayo is a great doctor, I am really happy with his service and how patiently he listens and tries to analyze everything and find the right treatment for me.”

"Hasta que llame al doctor Hector Tamayo, y enseguida me ayudo muchisimo, me escucho, me entendio, completamente profesional, y no dudo ni espero a ayudarme, en uno de mis peores momentos de salud."

"Having someone who knows our medical history so well is incredibly comforting, and Dr. Tamayo has been there for us whenever we've needed him. We highly recommend his services to others and encourage anyone considering a service like this to reach out to his office."
