Rachel is one of the friendly, steady forces at Dr. Karen Horton’s Office in San Francisco, and what she loves most about working here is simple: the team. The supportive, collaborative atmosphere is what makes every day meaningful for her.

If she weren’t a Registered Nurse and Manager of the San Francisco Plastic Surgery Center, Rachel imagines she’d be a flight attendant—traveling the world, meeting new people, and bringing her warm, upbeat energy wherever she goes. A fun fact about her? She used to love making homemade greeting cards and invitations, and still lights up when she talks about it.

Rachel loves being part of all procedures performed by Dr. Horton and finds it impossible to choose a favorite. When it comes to skincare, her daily essential is Colorscience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield FLEX—something she never leaves home without. Her favorite non-surgical treatment is BOTOX® for bruxism, which she finds both functional and confidence-boosting.

One procedure she would never recommend is the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), a sentiment she shares with many clinicians due to its risk profile.

Her advice for patients is perfectly on-brand for her thoughtful nature: Always ask your surgeon and their staff if you have questions. Don’t ask the internet—or ChatGPT.

Rachel’s humor, maternal warmth, honesty, and team spirit make her a joy to work with and a reassuring presence for every patient she meets.
