Glassell Park - Dr. Jennifer Keagle has become - as far as she or a quick Google search can determine - perhaps the only plastic surgeon working in Northeast Los Angeles.
She is giving up her office Downtown and recently opened a new office in Verdugo Plaza, closer to home and her patients. “It’s so nice now to be part of my local community,” she said.
The Chicago native gravitated to plastic surgery “because I love the creative aspect of it.” She came to Los Angeles for a fellowship to treat cleft lip and palate deformities.
She still works with the Cleft Palate team at White Memorial Hospital but also does the sort of plastic surgery for which L.A. is better known: removing moles, improving scars, Botox, fat-reduction treatments, breast surgery (bigger or smaller - your choice), tummy tucks and face-lifts.
“Most of my patients are from Northeast LA, and having a ‘local’ office seemed like a logical next step,” Dr. Keagle said, “Also, I live in Mt. Washington, so the commute is pretty great!”
“We’ve been coming to Verdugo Plaza to Lemon Poppy Kitchen since my kids have been little,” she said. Her children are now ages 15 and 17 and attend Eagle Rock High school. “It’s so nice now to be part of my local community.”
Thanks For Your Support! We Could Not Have Done It Without You!
Happy New Year! I'd like to start out 2023 by thanking the nearly 400 readers who contributed to our Fall/Winter Fundraiser. That's amazing!
Over the past three months, we raised nearly three-quarters of our $25,000 goal. While that was shy of our target, those funds will allow us to hire a part-time editor on a temporary basis. That position will free me up to strengthen the business and ensure that you see more coverage of the communities we care about.
Of course, there's still time to make a last-minute contribution. You can do so by using the form below
Thanks again for your readership and support. Wishing you all the best in 2023
