Hi! My name is Taylor, and I'm from St. Louis, MO! I am a registered nurse & Dr. Shock's first surgical assistant. 

 

About Taylor

 

I have two bachelor's degrees, one in public health from Lindenwood University and one from Mizzou’s accelerated nursing program, graduating with my BSN! I am dedicated to providing compassionate care to patients undergoing plastic surgery procedures. Witnessing the positive impact these surgeries can have on patients' self-esteem and quality of life is incredibly rewarding. I am committed to ensuring each patient receives the highest standard of care throughout their surgical journey, from preoperative preparation to post-operative recovery.  I chose a career in nursing because I have the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives for the better.
