Rose is known in our San Francisco office for her calming presence and genuine warmth. What she loves most about working with Dr. Karen Horton’s San Francisco Plastic Surgery operating room team as the Lead Scrub Technician is the peaceful environment—and the way everyone is always ready to lend a helping hand. For her, that spirit of support is what makes coming to work each day so meaningful.

If Rose weren’t here, she imagines two alternate paths: working as a surgical tech or becoming a marriage counselor. Both roles reflect her steady, thoughtful nature and her instinct to help people through important moments in their lives. A fun surprise about Rose? She’s really good at badminton—something hardly anyone guesses until she mentions it.

Her favorite procedure to participate in is breast reduction . Rose loves being part of a transformation that can make such a powerful difference, both inside and out. Seeing a patient walk away with renewed confidence and happiness never gets old for her.

For skincare, Rose’s top pick is C E Ferulic facial serum. And while she loves microneedling for her own non-surgical treatments, she also has strong opinions about procedures she would never recommend. For her, BBL is a clear no—the risks are too high, and the results don’t last long enough to justify it.

When patients ask for guidance, Rose keeps her advice simple but solid: see Dr. Horton before you commit. The right consultation can clarify your options, your goals, and the safest, most effective path forward.

Rose’s compassion, steadiness, and dedication to patient care make her an essential part of the team—and someone patients instantly feel comfortable with.
