A medical director should be more than a signature.

Every aesthetic and wellness practice deserves a physician who is present, accessible, and invested in how it actually runs. That is the kind of oversight I provide. I work alongside practice owners as a clinical partner, not a name on a form you file and forget.

I am Dr. Teresa Alasio, a board-certified physician and the owner of Intentional Self Aesthetics in New Canaan. I built my own practice from the ground up, so I know what these businesses need at every stage: sound protocols, clear regulatory footing, and a physician who answers when a real question comes up.

What working with me looks like

I partner with a small number of practices at a time, so the relationship stays personal. That means you get a physician who knows your business, not a service you share with hundreds of others.

• Protocol development so your team treats confidently and consistently, with standards that hold up to scrutiny.
• Regulatory guidance that keeps your practice on solid ground as rules in Connecticut and New York change.
• Case review and clinical consultation when a situation calls for a physician’s judgment.
• Mentorship for providers who are newer to aesthetics or working to sharpen their skills.
• Real availability, so questions get answered before they turn into problems.

You join a community, not just a contract

This is the part I am proudest of, and the part most medical director arrangements can’t offer.

The practices I oversee meet with me regularly, and over the past several years those relationships have grown into a collaborative group. We trade ideas, share resources, and help one another solve the everyday problems of running a practice. As the group grows, every member draws on the collective experience of the rest.

You are not hiring a signature. You are joining a network of practice owners who want to do this well.

Who this is for

• New aesthetic practices searching for a medical director.
• Established practices that want a more engaged physician partner.
• Nurse practitioners and physician assistants opening their own aesthetic practices.
• Wellness and longevity clinics that require physician oversight.
• Practices transitioning from one medical director to another.

If you recognize your practice in that list, we are probably a good fit.

Background and credentials

I bring more than a license to this work. I bring years of clinical leadership and the experience of building and running a practice myself.

• Board-certified physician.
• Licensed in Connecticut and New York.
• Former Medical Director of a large multi-specialty medical group.
• Faculty member with Empire Medical Training.
• Active physician and owner of Intentional Self Aesthetics.
• Experienced in aesthetics, wellness, and physician mentorship.

My goal is straightforward. I want to help every practice I work with deliver excellent patient care while building a sustainable, ethical, physician-led business.
