Hello, my name is Johanna (Jo), and I am a CoolSculpting Specialist at the Esthetics Center. I have been in the esthetic industry as a provider since 2017. After working as a CoolSculpting Lead and as the top provider at two of the top Medical Spas in the nation, I am blessed to now call EC my home. I am so grateful to have a job that, to me, doesn't feel like work, and to be honored enough to help people love their bodies and find confidence within themselves again. Born and raised in California on farmland, outside of work, you can find me adventuring with my wonderful husband Robby and our two dogs, Basil and Bodie. We are always looking for any excuse to get out of the city and into nature.

VALUES I LIVE BY:
Be impeccable with your word. Your words are one of the most powerful things you have as a human. You can build hope and dreams or leave destruction in your wake.
Do not take anything personally. Nothing other people do or say is because of you—it is because of them.
Do not make assumptions. Always find the courage to ask more questions—that is the antidote to conflict and misunderstandings.
Always do your best. Respect yourself and honor the work in front of you to the best of your capability.
Try to always come from a kind place and be empathetic. We do not know one another’s internal suffering.
Love with an open heart. Listen to understand, respect boundaries, be humble, and be honest.
WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY JOB:
What I love most about my job is helping others find their light, happiness, and confidence within themselves again. I am grateful for each and every patient who trusts me with their body, shares their stories with me and builds a trusting relationship. This industry has brought so many beautiful people into my life, and for that alone, I feel blessed. Working at EC, with the fantastic team of women and men who not only support one another but their patients as well is an unmatched work environment and culture. They have created something so big and special that it can be felt the moment you step in the door. If you surround yourself with love and the right people, anything is possible.
I have been to esthetics center several times and I must say they are just wonderful from the minute you step into the office until you leave! They are the first office that actually listened to the result I was looking for and took care of it! I won’t go anywhere else again! Thanks!
Experience was great. All the employees that I spoke with were beyond nice and helpful. Before my procedure the Dr. explained exactly what he would be doing and asked if I had any questions or concerns. The procedure was so fast and pain free I actually thought he was joking when he said, “thank you, you’re all done”. Definitely recommend.
I have always been treated like a princess at the Esthetics Center. The whole staff seems to light up with the friendliest faces. I have had nothing but the best and expected results from my visits.
I’ve always loved every service at the Esthetics Center! From facials and lip filler to botox and CoolSculpting, they exceed expectations! I’m a customer of over 2 years! Thanks Esthetics Center!
Always just the best. I live in Florida and always book an appt when I’m in town. There is nothing like it. The staff is amazing. State of the art facility and they always have the latest!
This was our very first time ever coming to a place like this. They were very nice and super informative every step of the way! Definitely will be back
What thoughtful, thorough care I received today- an incredible experience that is unique and oh so refreshing (both in terms of results and personal attention)!
Had my first treatment at Esthetics Center. She was the best! She gave me recommendations on product placement and was conservative yet thorough, which is exactly what I was hoping for! I’ll be a repeat customer!
I love every visit to the esthetics center. All of the staff are so friendly, talented, and knowledgeable. I always leave feeling great and well taken care of. :)
I’ve been receiving services at the Esthetics center for over 3 years now, every time I walk in to the moment I walk out I enjoy my experience! The front desk gals and boys are always friendly and prompt! Knowledgeable staff and beautiful cosmetic center, dr. Rice is one of the best I recommend all my friends/clients!
Very happy with each experience I’ve had with Dr. Rice and his staff. Everyone is friendly and helpful; Dr. Rice is so very knowledgeable, experienced and kind.
The Esthetic Center is the best cosmetic enhancement location in all of El Dorado and Sacramento County. They ensure my face doesn’t move and my lips look plump! Thank you for the great service every time !
Love this place! Very friendly staff, beautiful and clean location. I never feel pressured to buy a service I dont want or need. You were so very kind and helpful, thank you!

Every single visit, beyond expectations! The service is outstanding. Everyone always makes me feel incredibly special and takes extra time to make sure I have everything I need. On top of the amazing experience, the quality of work never disappoints. My new favorite treatment is tear trough filler! Go get some!!!
It is always an amazing experience at the esthetics center. The staff members are so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I went in for a microneedling with PRP facial and the whole process was so easy.
FIVE STARS FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCES AT ESTHETICS CENTER!!
I’ve visited The Esthetics Center a few times now and every visit has been phenomenal. The front desk staff is welcoming and timely, the office is immaculate and beautifully decorated, and Melissa has delivered such wonderful customer service as well as skilled technique and services. I have received Botox and filler and will not go anywhere else! I love this place and couldn’t recommend it enough :)
I always have the best experience at the Estherics center, from the receptionist to the nurses, everyone is so welcoming and friendly! The nurses are always knowledgeable and have your best interest in mind!!
Dr. Rice was amazing. He took excellent care of me. Took his time with me explaining everything he would be doing before hand. Was gentle, caring, not in a rush and most of all made me feel comfortable. I would highly suggest him to anyone. I will definitely be going back. Oh and his team was also great.
Visited Esthetics Center for a consultation. The nurse that helped me provided me with tons of information, answered all my questions, and offered me a treatment plan that works for me and my needs. I highly recommend visiting Esthetics Center if you’re considering esthetics services!
Every time I come here it’s such an amazing high class experience!! Everyone is so nice and really make you feel welcome. Highly recommend this place for all your beauty needs!!
This place is amazing! It’s like a luxurious spa and Dr. Rice and his team of experts are so knowledgeable, professional and refreshingly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend them for any of your esthetic needs.
Great experience as soon as walked in. Friendly staff, very accommodating and answered all my questions regarding the procedure that I will be doing in September.
Always an amazing experience with the up most professionalism. They listen to what you are looking to achieve and give you their honest and full attention. Book as you are leaving even if you’re not sure you need a next appointment 😊
I love the EDH Esthectics Center! Dr. Rice is a highly skilled surgeon that strives for perfection! He and his team make you feel comfortable and welcome from the moment you walk in the door. Daniel at the reception desk always greets me with a friendly “hello” and goes out of his way to accommodate my busy work schedule with multiple appointment options. Dr. Rice’s surgical assistant Tammy is very knowledgeable, warm and helpful. She provides clear instructions before and after surgical procedures and always calls you the night prior to surgery to check in and reassure any concerns. Overall, the Esthectics Center is a top notch experience whether having a surgical procedure or simply having a facial. I am a customer forever! Jessica G.

My experiences at the Esthetics Center are absolutely lovely. Everything from the lobby decor to the special attention they give you is worth 5 stars. I drive 60 miles for my treatments because I trust the nurses and I know I’ll be taken care of.
I love everything about The Esthetic Center!!! From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted by beautiful decor and smiling, welcoming faces. The nurses are extremely skilled and so gentle. I can’t tell you my favorite nurse injector because they honestly are all Amazing. Dr. Rice is not only a master at his craft but so kind and a pleasure to talk to. I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed.
Dr Rice is an amazing surgeon! I had a blepharoplasty done by him a year ago and am so pleased with the results. If you're looking for someone that is meticulous in his work, go to Dr Rice. You will not be disappointed.
This place is amazing! All of my services have gone flawlessly and I’m so impressed with all of my results. The staff have all been friendly and great to work with. Will certainly keep coming back!
