Hi there! I’m Lynette Coker.  I’m a CRNP originally from Coker, AL, living in Northport, AL. I’m passionate about traveling and spending time with my family, and I have been involved in the nursing industry for 30 years. When I’m not working, I enjoy being on the lake, traveling,  and spending time with family and friends.

Hello! I am Irma Higginbotham, a  Board Certified  Family Medicine Physician. I have been working in my profession for more than 20 years. I graduated from  The University of Alabama Family Medicine Residency Program. I have been treating students as a Family Medicine Physician at the University of Alabama Student Health Center since 2006. 

Approximately ten years ago, I became very interested in Aesthetics. Starting first with injections of Botox, and each year, I added fillers, bio stimulators, PDO Threads, and other rejuvenating products, mastering my skills on friends, family members, and myself. Yes, that is right; I do aesthetic injections on myself 😊.  

I am Board Certified in Procedural Medicine and love to do Aesthetics. My objective is to boost people’s self-esteem by improving their personal appearance by using my skills, abilities, and talents. I take time and a personal approach to each patient. My heart smiles when I see someone thrilled to see themselves in a mirror after working together.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, playing sports, listening to music, learning about different cultures, and spending time with my family.
