Josie L. Tenore is a board-certified Family Physician who became interested in aesthetics during medical school and spent much of her elective time studying dermatology and plastic surgery.  She opted for a career in family medicine because it was a challenge to learn about the health and well being of humans of all ages and both sexes.

Dr. Tenore completed her medical training at the University of Toronto, Canada in 1984. Early in her career she worked part-time at a prominent Varicose Vein Treatment clinic in Toronto, taught at the Family Practice Residency Program at the University of Toronto, and developed a multi-service private practice. Her practice included many aesthetic services and she was performing facial peels as early as the mid- to late-1980’s.

After 11-years, her drive to provide the best information for her patients led her to pursue a Master of Science degree in Public Health from Harvard University.  It was there that Dr. Tenore developed the added skill of interpreting scientific studies and using this information to help guide her patients’ health care decisions. 

After completing her Master’s degree, Dr. Tenore moved to Chicago in 1998 to help develop the Family Medicine Residency Program at Northwestern University and holds the title of Assistant Professor with the Family Residency Program at the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University. In 2001, she obtained additional certification in Adolescent Medicine. Since 2006, she has focused all of her time on Aesthetic medicine and writing.

She has written about many topics in health and has been published in numerous medical journals including American Family Physician, Hospital Physician, Clinics in Family Medicine, and the Journal of Clinical Outcomes Management.  In addition, Dr. Tenore is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians, and the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery.

She brings close to 20 years of experience in aesthetic medicine and expertise that spans all ages to “Turn Back Time.”
