A Beautiful Office & Staff
Dr. Fisher’s office while comfortable and discreetly elegant is located in a beautifully secluded section of Beverly Hills. It is just steps away from all the luxuries of Rodeo Drive including five-star hotel accommodations and restaurants. These amenities make it especially convenient for out-of-town clientele. Dr. Fisher’s staff is congenial, compassionate and attentive to all aspects of patient-care. Patient confidentiality is vigorously maintained.

Bonnie, Office Director
I have worked for Dr. Garth Fisher during the past 20 years as his office director. I enjoy working with patients and seeing satisfying results. Working and managing a staff of dedicated professionals, many of whom I have known for almost 15 years is rewarding. It has been my privilege and pleasure to participate with Dr. Fisher as the office has evolved from its genesis to a highly sought international practice with a client base from around the world. I also assist my husband John in his real estate business, enjoy the company of pets and traveling with my family.
Jodie, R.N., Injectible Nurse, Biomedical Skin Treatment Institute
Providing injectible cosmetic services to Dr. Fisher’s patient’s over the past ten years has been a professional pleasure and a personal treat. Together we have developed the injectible practice and watched it grow into a full service partnership with his surgical practice. The recent association with injectibles and laser skin care has enhanced our ability to serve our patients. Dr. Fisher’s excellence in surgical restoration provides an uncommon balance to our injectible techniques and offers patients a unique opportunity in the area of enhanced beauty. When I’m not injecting our patients; besides being a devoted full time Mom and working professional, I volunteer often at my children’s school. I enjoy exercise and a wide variety of sports activities.
Kelli, Administrative Director; BSTI
I have been with Dr. Fisher for five wonderful and exciting years. After working in the healthcare field of physical therapy and clinical personal training for over 10 years, I shifted gears into aesthetics via marketing/sales with a cosmeceutical skin care line in Newport Beach. Realizing my love for both beauty and patient care, I began searching for a home to do both! I now am the administrative director of Dr. Fisher’s aesthetic laser business, Biomedical Skin Treatment Institute, where I have the luxury of using my clinical background along with the fun of making our patients more beautiful! Truly only thing I love more is spending time with my family, which includes 3 playful dogs!
Leslie, Director, Patient Relations
I have worked for Dr Fisher for the past 15 years. Due to Dr Fisher’s amazing reputation throughout the world this has been an invigorating environment and has always felt like a second home to me. I have strived to make patients feel welcome as I would a guest in my own home, and have consequently enjoyed the many relationships I have developed with our clients. Over the past few years I have dedicated myself to an increasingly healthy lifestyle of body, mind and spirit. I am consistently available to share my experiences with patients and by enhancing my own lifestyle I am able to communicate more effectively with people.

Gisela, Patient Coordinator
Family, animals and nature are most important to me; fitness and music are my passions. I trained for the Olympics in swimming and have also modeled and acted. I met Dr. Fisher while I was a Playboy Bunny in Los Angeles. Years later I began working for him as a receptionist at the front desk where I greet patients and book appointments. I have enjoyed my relationship with the office, which is like a large family, for almost eight years. Dr. Fisher is an artist and I am honored to be part of his team for so many years, making everyone that comes to the office more beautiful…what a perfect place to work.
Nicky, Office Nurse
I have been working for Dr. Fisher for 5 years and am looking forward to many more. I have been married for 7 years and am a mother of 2 lovely children ages five and two. Dr. Fisher actually hired me while I was 7 months pregnant with my first baby, as wonderful as Dr. Fisher is; he looked beyond my protuberant belly and saw a promising future for our working relationship. I love working with the office (The Fisher Family), patients for all of us are top priority and that is what is so wonderful about being here.

Laqueta, R.N.
I am so happy to be a part of the "Garth Fisher Team" as of Winter/07. I met the staff when I was brought in by Palomar Laser Company to train the medical staff in the use of the Palomar laser unit, as I am the official Palomar national trainer. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with many of the trainee offices and have been offered many positions; however this was the first office I ever really wanted to be part of, and was thrilled and delighted when an offer was made. I accepted immediately as I thoroughly enjoyed the staff and Dr. Fisher’s reputation was a critical factor to me. I have worked as a nurse in obstetrics and pediatrics for over 25 years before changing careers into medical aesthetics. In my off hours, I enjoy spending time with my husband Jim and son Erik, and grand-dog Tiki.
Michelle, R.N., Office, Injectible and Laser Nurse
Joining Dr. Fisher’s skilled staff offers me an empowering opportunity to fuse my passions in advanced laser technologies and facial injectable techniques with his concepts of restorative beauty. Involvement in pre and post operative nursing care will enable me to learn more about your desires and requests and thus enhance my ability to serve you. One of my most important objectives is to provide you with high quality professional care while sustaining your cosmetic goals. When I’m not nursing you can find me boarding in snow capped mountains or spiking a volleyball on a soft and sandy beach.
Miluzka, Office Assistant
I have known Dr. Fisher and his family for almost ten years. During that time I always admired his devotion and dedication to both his family and his practice. Earlier this year he asked me to join his office and I have assisted and participated with the staff of the Biomedical Skin Treatment Institute as well as assumed responsibilities with in-office accounting services. I have two adult sons and thoroughly enjoy spending quality family time and listening to all types of music.
