While innovation and technique are at the forefront, Jessica has created a culture where patient trust, comfort, and connection always come first.

“We’re here to build confidence, but that starts with trust,” Jessica shares. “Our patients aren’t just appointments—they each have a story, goals, and a unique journey. Being part of that transformation is the most rewarding part of what we do.”

Known for its VIP experience and exceptional outcomes, the spa is home to top-certified specialists, including leading experts in CoolSculpting®, dermal fillers, and neurotoxins. For Jessica, however, true success is measured not just in results—but in how each patient feels when they walk out the door: confident, empowered, and cared for.

About Dr Bush

A native of Charlotte, North Carolina, Dr. Bush completed his undergraduate education at Duke University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. He completed his Medical Doctorate at East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine in 1993, followed by a residency in emergency medicine at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania. In 1997, Dr. Bush moved back to his home state to begin his professional medical career at Randolph Hospital in Asheboro. There, he created a private group of emergency medicine physicians and helped staff the hospital’s emergency department. After 7 years in Asheboro, he decided it was time for a change.

He and his family moved to Charleston, South Carolina in 2004. Dr. Bush joined the faculty at the Medical University of South Carolina, where he helped start the hospital’s Emergency Medicine Residency. He has lectured to hundreds of medical students through the years and has helped train over 90 emergency medicine physicians.

Dr. Bush is presently the Program Director for the Emergency Medicine Residency Program at MUSC, a position he has held for the last 9 years. As he is looking to transition out of the high paced environment of the ED, the field of aesthetic medicine has drawn his interest. His 3 children are out of the house and he is presently an empty nester with his wife, Beth, of over 30 years. He enjoys spending time with his dog, Winnie the Pooh and fiddling in his garage.
