People,
Dr. April Spencer is known for her eye-catching style at some of Atlanta’s best charity events, and this board-certified surgeon backs up her fashion sense with heavy-duty credentials. She is a leader in breast surgery at her Global Breast Health and Wellness Center known citywide for minimally invasive procedures. “My favorite part about what I do is having the privilege of navigating families through their breast cancer journey; inspiring them to view their cancer not as an obstacle, but as an opportunity to evolve from a place of fear, vulnerability and uncertainty to a state of clarity, peace and courage,” she says.
In case she doesn’t sound busy enough, Spencer also recently created Taylor Made Cosmetics, a “safe, simple, and sexy makeup and skincare line” she named after her daughter. Inspired by her patients—some of the lipsticks are even named after them—it’s an excellent alternative to the potentially cancer-causing cosmetics out there today. She also offers aesthetics such as CoolSculpting to help patients “become the very best version of themselves during and after treatment,” and is working on a book about the ABCs of breast cancer prevention—and working on creating and producing a show about breast cancer patients thriving. (Whew!) But the real feather in Spencer’s cap is a wellness retreat in Costa Rica for patients later this year; “It’s something women deserve and is long overdue. It’s an opportunity to have a truly transformative, healing environment... setting them up for sustainable success on their journey from breast health to best health.”
