Sierra Cosmetic Laser & Spa

Meet Our Staff

 

Haven Ritchie, MD; Medical Director

Dr. Ritchie is a graduate of UCLA School of Medicine and is board certified in internal medicine.  Her interests in dermatology and cosmetic medicine led her to pursue additional training and certification in cosmetic laser applications, Botox and dermal fillers.  Dr. Ritchie has been studying cosmetic medicine since 2003 and has been performing non-invasive cosmetic medical procedures at Sierra Cosmetic Laser since June of 2005.

Dr. Ritchie plays a vital role in the daily operation of the clinic.  She is definitely a "hands-on" practitioner and thoroughly enjoys the practice of aesthetic medicine.  When the doctor is not working in the clinic, she spends as much time as possible with her husband (also a physician) and two children.  Dr. Ritchie loves living in the high Sierra and skis, snowshoes, mountain bikes, camps and hikes often in this beautiful area (always wearing sunscreen, of course).
