Meet Danielle Ruggiero, PA, Founder of Veda Med Spa
Danielle Ruggiero is a Board-Certified PA with nearly 20 years of experience treating patients. Ruggiero opted to become a PA, turning down a scholarship for pre-med at the University of Miami following the 9-11 attacks in her hometown of NYC. She doubled up on her college and PA studies, graduating as class president from the renowned Wagner College PA Program in 2006. She has worked with some of NYC’s most renowned plastic surgeons and institutions, including Cornell and New York Presbyterian. With a true passion for art and a love for uniqueness, Danielle found her calling in aesthetics.
Danielle helps her patients feel happy, healthy, and sexy, regardless of age, gender, race, or orientation. Together with her patients, Danielle creates a sustainable long-term aesthetic plan. She focuses on enhancing natural beauty while utilizing the most cutting-edge products and devices in aesthetics. Patient-focused results are achieved with clinically safe and appropriate treatments, custom tailored to individual goals and desires.
She has gained national respect as an expert in the integrated aesthetic field, emphasizing a holistic and comprehensive approach to beauty. She serves as an active member of numerous professional organizations, such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, AmSpa, the American Academy of Physician Associates, and the California Academy of Physician Associates. Danielle believes that the best clinicians are the ones who never stop learning. She keeps her finger on the pulse of aesthetics and wellness by attending advanced training and continuing medical education conferences around the world.
Danielle is pursuing a doctorate degree focused on building integrative treatment models for the mainstream medical community. She is actively involved in her community and ultimately wants aesthetics and wellness to be more accessible. For so long, the beauty industry has focused on a specific patient demographic, but Danielle hopes to break down the stereotypes in the industry and open the doors for all. Danielle is a mama first and foremost, and she does what she does not only to make a difference in the lives of patients but also to show her children the value of loving what you do for work. When not working, Danielle enjoys volunteering at her children’s school and throughout the community, gardening, traveling, and cooking.
