Dr. Stephani Amstadter
As an artist and a physician, Dr. Amstadter realized, early on, that dedicating herself to healing and empowering people by helping them discover what makes them uniquely beautiful would be her dream career path. Working her way though college as a retail fashion consultant and through becoming a make-up artist for Chanel, she recognized the emboldened confidence that came from simple and nuanced changes in an individual’s appearance. This awareness created a desire to make a deeper impact with more powerful tools and led her to pursue a career in medicine. Her journey into healing and healthcare began at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, where she honed her skills in surgery, intensive care, and emergency medicine. However, desiring an ongoing relationship with her patients, Dr. Amstadter chose to move into primary care, with a concentration on women's health, psychiatry, and mental wellness. This was a rewarding working environment, but still didn’t fulfill her dream.
Dr. Amstadter, also found that success was hard won. Through setbacks and learning to overcome them with introspection and resilience, she emerged as a far more compassionate and insightful physician. She also recognized that combining medicine and artistry had the potential to create not only an outer sense of beauty but also a genuine and lasting sense of self- empowerment. Further training in aesthetic medicine marked a pivotal moment for her - into her ideal practice where she seamlessly merged her deep medical expertise with her innate artistic sensibilities. This allowed her to think creatively and unconventionally. Her passion and sense of purpose were fully aligned: to heal and empower the whole patient: body and soul. Now, she heals her patients by helping them rejuvenate, reinvigorate, and reconnect with their own best sense of self, radiant well-being and true beauty. Her dream come true.
French sculptor Auguste Rodin once said, "I invent nothing. I rediscover."
In Dr. Amstadter’s practice, each face is a unique canvas and each patient is a unique partner. The journey to revitalization, enhanced well-being and aesthetic harmony is one that she creates together with each patient based on their individual goals. Dr. Amstadter’s innate curiosity and quest for knowledge keeps her dedicated to ongoing education and the latest innovations in aesthetics, ensuring that patients receive the highest and most current treatments in an atmosphere of acceptance and harmony.
