Our patients love Mary Jo. Many of them tell us that at different times through their journey she becomes like their sister, their mother, and their best friend. A compassionate listener, she will support you by understanding your goals, and then serving as your personal advocate to Dr. Vanek. Mary Jo will assist and support you from beginning to end, with her amazing way of quickly and completely relieving any feelings of fear or embarrassment. She also will coordinate financial arrangements, and schedule your procedure and follow-up appointments.

“I want to help you reach your beauty goals and ultimately help you feel great about yourself. Plastic surgery is life-changing! While it’s true that it can’t fix everything in your life, it often enhances your self-confidence to help you overcome life’s challenges and maximize life’s joys. I think that is why I love my job so much!”

Mary Jo is one of seven children, has been happily married for 40 years, is mother to 4 married children, and grandmother to 11 precious grandbabies!

Megan worked part-time for many years at Vanek Plastic Surgery before accepting her management position in 2017. She oversees Dr. Vanek’s schedule, maintains office records, coordinates communications and meetings with company representatives, works closely with the marketing team, and spends a lot of time on the computer! She is proud that she knows all of our patients’ names and values every relationship. Her favorite part of the job is taking pre and post-procedure photos and watching patients being transformed through each step of their journey. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time hiking in the Metroparks and caring for her pet parrot.

Betsy has a true passion for treating her patients’ skin. She performs Visia photo skin analysis, HydraFacials, Dermaplaning, Microdermabrasion and waxing skin treatments. She also administers the new and amazing TruSculpt 3D radio frequency body contouring. One of her favorite treatments is preparing her patients for Forever Young and Mentor Peel lasers before being performed by Dr. Vanek. Watching a patient’s skin transform with treatments and quality skincare products truly makes her smile! Betsy is also a proud mother of four children. Since she was raised in northern Minnesota, she remains an avid fan of the Minnesota Wild and Vikings!

Ashley has been with Dr. Vanek’s office since 2011. Among her many responsibilities, she takes many of the before-and-after patient photos. She is also the insurance coordinator for medical procedures covered by health insurance. She loves that each day is different and she is able to learn something new every day. Her favorite part of her job is when she can assist in minor surgical procedures. When Ashley is not working, she enjoys spending as much time as possible outdoors with her boyfriend and two dogs.

Jeni will likely be the first person to greet you with a smile upon entering our beautiful office. In addition to her receptionist duties, Jeni enjoys practicing massage therapy, which she has done professionally for over 18 years.
