CANDICE FORTUNATO, M.D.
Dr. Candice Fortunato was born + raised in Las Vegas, NV, graduating from UNLV and University of Nevada School of Medicine. She moved to Penn State Hershey to complete a dual residency in Internal Medicine & Pediatrics, and remains board certified in both fields. She returned to the Las Vegas + Henderson area and has been an inpatient hospitalist serving adults + children for over 10 years. She has been the vice chair for the department of Pediatrics and continues to educate medical students.
Her journey though adult acne at various ages and stages through life sparked her interest in skincare. Her mother's passing in 2021 served as a painful reminder that time is promised to no one, and Dr. Fortunato dropped the fear of being judged and entered medical aesthetics. She thrives on delivering skin care and soul care, and firmly believes that the Glow Up is more than just skin deep. She has poured her efforts into her flagship solo clinic, affectionately named [ Skin + Tonic ].
At the moment, she refuses to be categorized into one singular entity and loves to proclaim she "lives a life of and"— mother and physician, injector and hospitalist, entrepreneur and educator, mentor and pupil, speaker and listener.
​
When not in clinic or the hospital, she is a bus driver to her two kids and her Corgi, spending quality time with her husband of 15 years, prioritizing physical health with their coach, or enjoying life’s yummiest dishes.
​​
When you schedule your first appointment at [ Skin + Tonic ], we strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation, so we can discuss your goals and timeline. Our crew's purpose is to be aligned with you in achieving your goals and inspiring confidence to be the main character of this chapter of your life.
​
We'll see you in clinic.
