Dr. Sam Romeo is a board-certified family medicine, sports medicine, and certified aesthetics physician who believes in bringing out the best in everyone. He listens carefully to understand who you are as a whole person and what you would like to accomplish, and then crafts a beautiful plan that results in a natural look and feel that you will love.
After spending his childhood years moving around the country, including attending three different high schools in four years, Dr. Sam makes it a priority to help people always feel at home. He graduated from Boston College as an undergraduate, University of Southern California for medical school, completed his family medicine residency and sports medicine fellowship from Kaiser Fontana. After working as a medical director in Los Angeles, he moved to Turlock in 2002 to be closer to family. This move coincided with Botox’s FDA approval for aesthetic purposes and Dr. Sam became one of the early aesthetic medicine injectors. Twenty years later, he and his physician sister, Dr. Lisa, developed one of the busiest aesthetic medicine practices in the United States.
Dr. Sam has served as an Allergan faculty trainer for many years and has trained many aesthetic injectors throughout California. He makes sure all Novella patients look and feel like they were cared for by the best.
Dr. Sam’s Core Values of Impact, Wisdom, Encouragement, and Spirituality guide him daily. His wife and 4 daughters describe him as “a definite girl dad”. He sees patient visits as an opportunity to impact, encourage, and connect with people and his “less-is-more” approach leaves people looking natural and youthful.
