Dr Amber Botros

Owner/Medical Director

Brooke is the intentional force behind our daily operations.
She joined the Plaza Aesthetics & Wellness team in July 2025, bringing with her an elevated level of care rooted in communication and genuine connection.

With an eye for detail and exceptional organization skills, Brooke handles our scheduling and patient relations with a commitment to creating seamless, personalized experiences that reflect the high standards our practice is known for.

Brooke’s approach to beauty and wellness is ever-evolving. She believes that true confidence comes from within and that self-care has restorative power. She knows that ‘happy & healthy’ looks different for everyone – and she loves exploring that with whoever walks through the door.
Her goal is simple: to make every patient feel seen, supported and valued.

Brooke graduated from Mizzou with a Bachelor’s Degree in Cross-Categorical Special Education in 2014 and has since been drawn to roles focusing on care, engagement and empowerment.
