Veronica Wu, Certified/Licensed Physician’s Assistant

Hello, my name is Veronica, and I am a Licensed and Certified Physician’s Assistant with Dr. Moulton-Barrett. I have completed my bachelor’s degree in Molecular and Cell Biology at UC Berkeley with highest distinction, and then I completed my Master’s Degree in Physician Assistant Studies at California Baptist University with an Academic Excellence Award. Since joining the offices of Dr. Moulton-Barrett, I have had the privilege of providing patients with body contouring, facial contouring, and anti-aging therapies. Part of my work has also included assisting in surgery, including the formal operating room at San Leandro Surgery Center and also in our operating room procedure facilities in both of our offices. In addition to taking care of patients during post-operative care, I also provide personalized evaluations and treatments for a full range of Medispa therapies including Botox, dermal fillers, PDO threads, chemical peels, lasers, and CoolSculpting and with a focus to enhance continued natural beauty. It’s my greatest joy to help you look and feel your best, and I am excited to meet you at our offices!

Debbie Galloway, MS RN

I have been a registered nurse for over 32 years and have worked in the Bay Area as a pediatric, medical surgical, and emergency care nurse. I received a Masters Degree in nursing education. I also currently teach at a Nursing School for both RNs and LVNs. It is my privilege and joy to take care of patients during the post-operative period and in the education of self-care and recovery.

Lisa Derita RN & Licensed Esthetician

I received my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from St. Mary’s College/Samuel Merritt College in 1993. Following nursing school I started my career as a medical surgical nurse for 5 years then moved to Ambulatory Care Setting. Just after getting a Aesthetician license in 2000 I joined Dr Moulton-Barrett at Brentwood Laser & Aesthetics where I have received extensive training and education in medical and aesthetic treatments. In 2004 I traveled to the World Plastic Surgery Congress in Monaco as a clinical laser specialist to demonstrate and present the cutting edge of innovative technology using the Sciton Erbium and NdYag laser.

I have particular interest in anti-aging medicine and procedures. In 2004 I worked with Allergan as a nurse injector to teach physicians and staff techniques for the injection of BoTox. I have striven to obtain higher education and continue to research new techniques to add to specialized and artistic treatments. My detailed experience includes the use of dermal fillers, volumizers such as Radiesse and Sculptra and also permanent fillers ie Artifill. I strive to keep current with effective skin products and chemical peels to remove damaged skin, to treat problematic skin like rosacea, acne, hyper-pigmentation and sensitive skin types.

I remain passionate towards teaching the public regarding the importance of skin care and skin cancer prevention. Patient care, I regard as a privilege. It is my goal to assist my clients in reaching their desired natural beauty.

Alma, LVN

Greetings, I am honored to be able to care for our patients before, during and after their procedures in either one of our offices. Saludos, si hablo español. My passion is to help people feel better about themselves and empower them through education. I aspire to be the best nurse possible to my patients through compassion, kindness, understanding, caring and of course a smile. Nothing is more fulfilling than hearing directly from a patient how happy they are about the results of their procedure. I have always had a fascination for medicine as I have a long line of medical professionals in my family. But it wasn’t until I volunteered at a clinic when was 14 years old when I really fell in love with medicine. I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I graduated from Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts in Concord, California and received my license as an LVN. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, travelling, crafting, cooking and reading.

Lizzet, LVN

Well , Hi there! I am the main person who takes care of our patients after they have surgery and in their home. Sí, hablo español. I have the advantage of being take care of his patients on a one on one basis, I pick them up from the surgery center and take care of them in their homes and I make sure before I leave the family are well trained, calm and confident of what needs to be done. Our prectice uses modern pain reducing therapies including: pain pumps, surgical beds to prevent tension on wounds, or the drug Exparel, which is placed during surgery, for 4 days, to block pain and oral muscle relaxants to reduce the source of pain. I care for our patients during their worst moments and try to keep their spirits up, while making sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared for. I watch to make sure lungs stay inflated, legs remain mobile and in compressive stockings, oxygen levels are adequate and blood pressure never too high. Becoming a nurse is one of the most selfless acts a person can undertake. In a society of so many different races, cultures, customs, and beliefs, we are universal and dedicated to the work that we do. I started my love for medicine as a reproductive health specialist for Planned Parenthood, for 10 years. That was my gateway to becoming a nurse. I knew I found my calling and my passion. I went to school at Gurnick Academy Of Medical Art in Concord, CA ,and received my license to become an LVN. Very often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring; all of which have the potential to turn a life around. When not working I make sure to spend quality time with my family and friends, especially my daughter. We love to go camping, hiking,and house-boating.
