About Us
How we got here…
An Ophthalmologist since 1997, Dr. Reyes regularly utilized Botox in her practice for treatments of eye conditions. When Botox was approved for cosmetic use in 2002, Dr. Reyes was able to meet the overwhelming requests by her patients for aesthetic improvements. As her patient list continued to grow, in 2007 The Med Spot was born out of both necessity and a love for her work. Located in the heart of Woodland Hills, The Med Spot loves making the Valley a more beautiful place.
Due to Dr. Reyes’ skillful eye and artistry, people transform here daily. From age related stressors on the skin, to the need to just be refreshed, The Med Spot serves as a safe, comfortable environment for transforming you into your best self. We strive to meet the individual needs of all our patients and with that in mind, we will walk you through every step of your treatment. From deciding on a procedure plan to making sure you are happy and that your experience here goes smoothly, to put it quite simply – we are here for you. Never hesitate to call us with any questions. We cannot wait to meet you!

Dr. Michelle Reyes is also heavily involved in continuing medical education to ensure she is practicing medicine using the most cutting-edge technology and training.

Lesley Martin, Office Manager
Known as “the one with the accent” Lesley, a native Brit is the longest serving member of The Med Spot team, joining Dr Reyes in 2011. After many years in the creative field and running two businesses Lesley was given the opportunity to work alongside Dr Reyes heading up the front office of a rapidly growing business. Not knowing much about the aesthetic world, it was an education that would take her on a journey over the years that she has become passionate about. The business of helping clients feel good about themselves as they age and seeing how we’re able to help in this process has been the greatest reward. Lesley is an integral part of the continued growth of the business and its success as one of California’s leading cosmetic practices. She keeps the front office wheels running at all times with her attention to detail and ensures that each client experience is great from the moment they walk through the door.
Born in England, Lesley moved to the USA in 1990 with her husband and two children. She graduated St Martins College of Art London with her Bachelor degree in Fine Art. She later furthered her education with a minor in site merchandizing and graphic design. Aside from all things creative Lesley enjoys riding her motorcycle at weekends, running half marathons and family time with her children and grandson.
Stephanie, Nurse RN BSN
As a former loyal client, Stephanie came to join The Med Spot in June 2018 and quickly transitioned to becoming a valuable part of our healthcare team. Under the mentorship of Dr Reyes and extensive training courses, Stephanie has quickly become an expert with our wide range of lasers, utilizing her knowledge to customize all types of treatments. In addition to being hands on throughout all aspects of clinical and cosmetic care here at The Med Spot, Stephanie also specializes in injectables and hormone replacement therapy, making her a valuable asset to us and her clients.
Stephanie earned her Bachelor’s of Science in nursing from San Diego State University in 2009. She has practiced emergency medicine for over 9 years. She is currently active in the Emergency Nurses Association and maintains her certification in this subject. After living in San Diego for over 10 years, Stephanie took the opportunity to practice as a travel emergency room nurse in the Bay Area and Seattle Washington for one year before moving back to Los Angeles. After moving back, she decided to branch out and broaden her medical knowledge with the addition of cosmetic procedures which brought her to us at The Med Spot.
