Paula Antonia Gonos is a board-certified Physician Assistant with over 25 years in healthcare and more than a decade of experience in cosmetic dermatology and aesthetic medicine. She has participated in multiple multicenter clinical trials involving biologics, injectable therapies, and advanced aesthetic devices.
Her clinical background includes training in otolaryngology and facial plastics, providing her with a refined understanding of facial anatomy and structural harmony. She approaches aesthetic medicine with technical precision, restraint, and an appreciation for subtle, sophisticated outcomes.
Born and raised in the Philippines, Paula brings cultural awareness, resilience, and warmth to her work. Her background in laboratory science, combined with service in the United States Air Force as a Medical Laboratory Journeyman, shaped her disciplined and service-oriented approach to medicine. She later worked in Hematology, Transfusion Medicine and Cytogenetics at Cleveland Clinic and MetroHealth Medical Center before earning her Master of Science in Health Sciences and becoming a Physician Assistant.
Paula values personal growth, self-care, and intentional living. She views aesthetic medicine as a collaborative process — one that allows patients to feel confident, aligned, and well cared for. Her practice extends beyond surface treatments, emphasizing long-term skin health, structural balance, and a holistic view of well-being.
In addition to clinical practice, Paula provides consulting within the aesthetic and healthcare space, advocating for patients, training aesthetic providers, as well supporting physicians and business owners in building patient-centered, operationally sound, and ethically grounded practices.
