Meet the Team

Esra is an experienced operations and business professional with a diverse background spanning healthcare administration, procurement, accounting, human resources, customer relations, and business operations. As Operations Manager at Luxxery Medical Boutique, she oversees the day-to-day operations of the practice, focusing on efficiency, productivity, quality, and continued growth while ensuring everything behind the scenes runs smoothly.

Since joining Luxxery in 2025, Esra has made a profound impact on the organization and daily operations of the practice. Her extensive business experience, attention to detail, and ability to keep things organized have made her an invaluable part of the Luxxery team. Simply put, we couldn't do it without her!

Outside of Luxxery, Esra appreciates life's simple pleasures—spending time with the people she loves, gathering around a good meal, and finding time to relax and recharge. Her warm, family-oriented personality carries into her professional life, where she enjoys building positive relationships and creating an environment in which both patients and team members feel welcomed, valued, and supported.

Lyndsay joined the Luxxery team in 2022, quickly immersing herself in the many different aspects of the practice and developing a true passion for the patient experience. In 2025, she stepped into the role of Office Manager, where she now leads the Luxxery team alongside Dr. Hakki. Together, Lyndsay and Dr. Hakki work closely to create an experience where exceptional patient care, trust, and beautiful results come together to help bring each patient's vision to life.

For Lyndsay, the most rewarding part of her role is the relationships she has built with Luxxery's patients. She understands that choosing to undergo a cosmetic procedure is an exciting but very personal decision, and she takes pride in being a familiar and reassuring presence before, during, and after each patient's procedure. Her philosophy is simple: treat every patient with kindness and the comfort of family. She believes our patients are the heart of the practice and that Luxxery simply wouldn't be here without the trust they place in our team.

With more than 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, Lyndsay brings an extensive background in both direct client care and management. Prior to Luxxery, her career included roles with Macy's and Estée Lauder. Throughout her career, one thing has remained constant—her love for an industry that helps women and men feel more confident in themselves.

Outside of Luxxery, Lyndsay is a small-town Pennsylvania girl who now happily calls Maryland home. She loves spending time with her husband and family, traveling, kayaking, enjoying quiet movie nights at home, and surrounding herself with good food and good people. Her most prized companions are her pups, Teddy and Chloe, and her cat, Bitty. Anyone who knows Lyndsay knows that her love for animals runs deep!

And when there's time to relax? A great meal, great company, and a perfectly made Old Fashioned are hard to beat!

With nearly 30 years by Dr. Hakki’s side as his Surgical First Assist, Cherry is truly the heartbeat of the Luxxery operating room. Her experience, dedication, and knowledge are unmatched, and she has played an important role in caring for Luxxery’s surgical patients for decades.

After working alongside Dr. Hakki for so many years, Cherry knows the flow of the operating room inside and out. Her extensive knowledge of surgical procedures and equipment, attention to detail, and commitment to patient care have made her an invaluable member of our surgical team. Her calm, familiar presence and years of experience help create the safe, organized, and caring environment we want every patient to experience on their surgical day.

Cherry has made such a lasting impression on the practice that she even has a procedure named in her honor! The “Cherry Tummy Tuck” is Luxxery’s tailored approach to a mini-abdominoplasty, designed for patients who may not require a traditional full tummy tuck. Having a signature procedure bear her name is a fitting tribute to the many years Cherry has dedicated to Dr. Hakki, our patients, and the art of plastic surgery.

Cherry’s talents extend well beyond the operating room. She is also an entrepreneur and the proud owner of ORT Cleaning Services, a commercial cleaning company. When she isn’t working, Cherry enjoys cooking, entertaining, and spending quality time with the people she loves.

Family is especially important to Cherry. She treasures time with her husband and son, but her greatest pride and joy is her grandson!

After nearly three decades of working alongside Dr. Hakki, Cherry is much more than a member of the surgical team—she is part of the foundation of Luxxery. Her loyalty, experience, work ethic, and genuine care for our patients make her an irreplaceable part of the Luxxery family.

Stephanie is a Registered Nurse and has been working alongside Dr. Hakki since 2020. As his operating room nurse, she has had the privilege of caring for patients throughout their surgical journey, from pre-operative preparation through post-operative recovery. She also serves as the practice’s Nurse Injector, combining her clinical experience with her passion for aesthetics.

Before becoming a nurse, Stephanie was a cosmetologist, giving her a unique perspective on both beauty and patient care. She also has experience working as a psychiatric and detox nurse, which has strengthened her ability to connect with patients, listen to their concerns, and provide compassionate, individualized care.

For Stephanie, aesthetics is where beauty and science come together—and that combination is what she loves most about this specialty.

Outside of the practice, Stephanie is a wife and mom to three boys. When she’s not working, you’ll most likely find her with her husband, friends, or cheering her boys on from the track or football field. Her favorite part of life is being their biggest supporter and enjoying the busy, beautiful chaos that comes with raising three boys.

Joyce joined the Luxxery team in 2025 and quickly became a familiar and comforting presence for our surgical patients. With more than 50 years of experience in healthcare, Joyce brings an incredible depth of knowledge, compassion, and dedication to our team.

Joyce has been a Registered Nurse since 1975, with a career that has allowed her to care for patients in Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and Plastic Surgery.

Joyce and her husband also dedicated many years to organizing and leading Autism FYI (AFYI), an organization focused on promoting the safety, inclusion, and understanding of individuals on the autism spectrum.

Joyce is also one crafty woman! She loves crafting and baking—and luckily for the Luxxery team, we often get to enjoy the results of her creativity in the kitchen.

Yvonne Acuna, RN, has been a valued member of the Luxxery team for nearly two years, serving as both a Staff Registered Nurse and Compliance Officer.

Outside of Luxxery, Yvonne is a proud mom to three daughters and loves spending time with her baby granddaughter. Family and faith are incredibly important to her, and she enjoys spending time with loved ones, attending church, and traveling whenever she gets the chance.

Yvonne also knows how to have fun! She loves dancing, singing, playing sports, and gaming—and admits she can be pretty competitive. One of her hidden talents? She can sing along to just about any R&B song and can even sing mariachi!

Whether she’s caring for a patient, supporting the Luxxery team, or singing her favorite song, Yvonne brings warmth, energy, and a genuine love for people to everything she does.

Tinisha joined the Luxxery team in January 2026 as a Front Desk Receptionist, where her welcoming personality and dedication to our patients quickly made her a valued member of the team. Since then, she has earned a promotion to Back Office Manager, taking on an expanded role in supporting both our patients and the day-to-day operations of the practice.

Vince has been a valued member of the Luxxery surgical team since 2008, bringing decades of anesthesia and critical care experience to our operating room. His extensive career began with the United States Army, where he served in roles including Medic, Flight Medic, ICU Nurse, and Anesthetist.

Laquita, affectionately known around Luxxery as "Quita," joined the team in 2021 as Dr. Hakki's Surgical Technician and has been a tremendous addition to our operating room team ever since.

In the OR, Quita plays an essential role in preparing the operating room, maintaining a sterile surgical environment, organizing equipment, and assisting Dr. Hakki by anticipating and providing the instruments needed throughout each procedure. In addition to her work at Luxxery, Quita also works alongside a vascular surgeon, giving her a broad range of surgical experience and knowledge that she brings to our patients and team.

While Quita takes her responsibilities in the operating room very seriously, she definitely knows how to bring the fun! Known as the comedian of Luxxery, she is always keeping Dr. Hakki, our staff, and even our patients laughing. Her outgoing personality and sense of humor have a special way of helping patients feel comfortable and at ease—even on a day when they may be feeling a little nervous.

Outside of Luxxery, family is at the center of Quita's world. She is a proud mother of five and considers her family the most important part of her life.

With her surgical experience, dedication, and ability to make just about anyone laugh, Quita brings the perfect combination of professionalism, compassion, and fun to the Luxxery family.

Kathleen joined the Luxxery team in 2025 as our Sterile Processing Technician, and we couldn't be happier to have her as part of the Luxxery family. After dedicating 17 years to the Charles County Public Schools system, Kathleen retired and brought her strong work ethic, attention to detail, and caring nature to our surgical team.

Behind the scenes, Kathleen plays an important role in keeping our operating room prepared and running smoothly. She helps ensure that surgical instruments and supplies are properly processed, organized, and ready for our OR team, contributing to the high standards of safety and care we provide to every patient.

Kathleen resides in Southern Maryland with her loving partner, David, and family. When she isn't at Luxxery making sure the OR is stocked and ready to go, you can often find her singing karaoke, dancing the night away, or getting creative with one of her many art projects.

Kathleen's genuine warmth, kindness, and welcoming personality naturally draw people to her. She brings both heart and dedication to Luxxery, and we are so fortunate to have her as part of our team.
