During this time she was awarded for best bedside manner in Richmond in 2016 and Best PA/MD team in Virginia. 
In 2018, Megan expanded her care to her patients beyond the operating room by providing aesthetic injections and other non-surgical treatments. She specializes in and is passionate about comprehensive, full face and neck aesthetic plans for patients. She is devoted to providing exceptional aesthetic treatments, leveraging continuous trainings and education to offer the latest and greatest in injectable products and techniques in this ever-changing field.

When Megan is not injecting, she enjoys time boating and traveling with her husband Matt. She has a love for all things water, art and reading. Megan feels her greatest accomplishment is becoming a mother to her daughter, Noelle. After many years of infertility, she recognizes the incredible gift that she’s been given in Noelle and the opportunity to be a mother. She looks forward to meeting each and every one of you at your appointment at Reddy Plastic Surgery!
