Celia Remy, M.D.P.C.
Vitality Medical Laser & Skin Clinic and our new Regenerative Medicine branch are owned and operated by Celia Remy, M.D.P.C. Dr. Remy began her career with UC Davis Medical Center holding two positions as Medical Director for a satellite child abuse prevention clinic, and as a pediatrician with specialty interest in pediatric dermatology. This work piqued her interest in cosmetic dermatology and tissue regeneration After additional advanced training in laser medicine, cosmetic dermatology, liposuction, and most recently stem cell therapies, she was able to integrate all aspects of her background and bring a fresh perspective to the field of aesthetics.
Dr. Remy is always learning and working toward improved outcomes. She demonstrates this in her work with laser engineers, developing technologies, and critically evaluating protocols for treatment effectiveness. She is a certifying instructor for physicians and nurses in laser therapies, as well as advanced injectable fillers. She was recently invited by Allergan to train physicians in the use of their newest filler, Juvéderm Voluma™ XC.
The newest branch of Vitality involves regenerative medicine. Vitality is now offering hormone optimization and is one of 36 clinics in the U.S. involved in a clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness of stem cell treatments.

Services Include:
Kenneth M. Toft, M.D.
Kenneth M. Toft, M.D. is the Director of Toft Facial Plastic Surgery in Roseville, California. He dedicates 100% of his practice to facial cosmetic surgery. This is in contrast to many surgeons that perform liposuction and breast augmentation, who can spend as little as 20% of their time on the face.
Complete dedication to facial plastic surgery is very important for several reasons: the complex anatomy of the face, the need to keep up with the latest techniques of facial rejuvenation, and the importance of facial features in defining individuality. The results of facial plastic surgery are not hidden under clothes; they are seen every day by friends in public and by oneself in the mirror. For these reasons, only the most specialized and highly trained facial plastic surgeon should be selected.
Throughout his career Dr. Toft has demonstrated a commitment to excellence. Dr. Toft graduated from college in the top 3% and medical school in the top 10% of his class at the University of Michigan. He then underwent surgical training at Stanford University, with four years completely focused on the face and neck. Dr. Toft was then selected to be a UCLA Clinical Instructor in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery where he studied with world experts in cosmetic surgery. In 2000, Dr. Toft moved to the Sacramento area to become the Medical Director of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Mercy San Juan and to open the Toft Facial Plastic Surgery Center.
Dr. Toft believes the goal of cosmetic surgery is to create improvement while maintaining a natural and balanced appearance. This natural appearance is achieved through the use of modern techniques to make his patients look younger, refreshed, and healthy, never overdone or “operated.” The natural balance of facial features is what creates identity, displays emotion, and establishes level of health. Because each face is different, the goals of surgery for each person is individualized. Dr. Toft draws on his extensive training, aesthetic sense, and personal touch to achieve better balance and improved symmetry for all of his patients’ unique facial features.

Creekside Osteopathic Family Practice
1731 Creekside Dr., Ste. 100 | Folsom | 916-984-4100
Email attention Sarah: [email protected]
www.creeksideosteopathic.com
Dr. West is a board certified family practice physician who believes the best investment you can make now is in your health and wellness. Many people believe that an osteopathic doctor (D.O.) is a general practitioner; this is absolutely not the case. Osteopathic physicians instead are the only true complete physicians, practicing both hands-on manipulative treatment and preventive wellness. However, not all osteopathic physicians are equally-talented, nor do they practice preventive medicine like the physicians at Creekside Osteopathic Family Practice.
Dr. West recently started his “Exclusive Access,” or concierge medicine program. This program allows Dr. West to provide healthcare to his patients in ways not possible through conventional programs. This program allots more time for the physician to spend with each patient, so that there is no rush during your appointment. Through this program, Dr. West also provides a 1-hour (or longer) complete executive physical, annually. The program treats the whole person and emphasizes a holistic approach to medicine with weight control programs and access to especially advanced labs, which are reviewed in person by Dr. West.
Patients enrolled in the concierge program can pay a monthly, quarterly or annual fee to be a member of the practice. There are fewer patients in a concierge practice, which allows Dr. West to offer his personalized exclusive access services. These include same-day appointments and 24/7 access, with special home visits in extenuating circumstances.
Professional Societies:
- OPSC – (Osteopathic Physicians & Surgeons of California) Board of Directors
- AAFP (American Academy of Family Physicians)
- AMA (American Medical Association)
- AOA (American Osteopathic Association)
- Osteopathic National and CA State Licensing Boards
- Board Certified, American Board of Family Practice (FAAFP)
- Surgery Otorhinolarynology Award
- Intern of the Year Award
- Chief Resident, Family Practice Program
- AMA Physicians Recognition Award
- Most Valuable Physicians Award of California
- Team Physician for Oak Ridge High School Football Team past 12 years
Dr. West is also known as "Doc Taz" for his high energy level and contagious enthusiasm for living a healthy lifestyle.
