Meet Our Team

Our newest addition to the Perfection Team, Casey Kay, recently
returned to his hometown after living and working in China for the
past five years. The younger son of Melinda and Dr. Kay, Casey
graduated from Trinity University in 2011 with a double-bachelor’s
degree in International Business and Mandarin Chinese. During his
years in China, he spent time with two large multi-national
companies, designed & founded an English language school and also
established his own international business and brand management
consulting firm. Casey’s passionate personality and strong
leadership skills make him a perfect fit for the Perfection Team. He
is a loving husband and son and also the proud father of two
daughters, Kennedy 19-months and Lucy 12-years old.

“I’m honored and humbled to have the opportunity to continue my
mother’s, Mamma Kay’s, legacy at Perfection. The shoes I’m trying to
fill are so large because my mom touched the lives of every patient
and every employee in the Practice. My hope is to continue to carry
on Melinda’s vision for the future of our Practice, while also
growing and pursuing perfection at every step along the way.”

Cheryl is a ray of sunshine and is wildly enthusiastic in her role as
a Skin Care Specialist. An Arizona native and graduate of the
University of Arizona College of Nursing, she joined the Perfection
staff 10 years ago following a 20-year career as a Neonatal ICU
nurse. Cheryl loves coaching her patients in the treatment and
management of their skin. She finds the cohesive integration of
surgical and non-surgical aspects gives her the best set of tools
for efficiently achieving noticeable results. Cheryl also has
advanced training in sclerotherapy and laser for the treatment of
veins. When she is not illuminating our office with her smile,
Cheryl can be found burning up the tennis court, and spending time
traveling with her husband and three adult children.

“I used to worship the sun and over time the health of my skin
greatly suffered. I consider myself as much a patient of this office
as those I treat every day. I have witnessed my own transformation
during my time at Perfection, and can draw on this experience when
guiding you. My personal philosophy falls in line with the mission
of our office, to provide excellent, professional, and personalized
care to each and every patient.” – Cheryl

An Arizona native, Edlin graduated from Tucson College, as a Pharmacy
Technician. Her past work experiences as an office manager and with
an international investigation company, have given Edlin a sense of
passion, purpose, and commitment, all of which help make her an
outstanding member of the Perfection family.

She is devoted to her husband and her family, and loves being
outdoors and traveling in her spare time.

Melinda and her husband Dr. Peter Kay worked together to build
Perfection Plastic Surgery & Skin Care since its inception in 1991.
Melinda earned a Bachelor’s degree from Marquette University and her
Master’s from Kent State University. Prior to moving to Tucson, she
worked as a speech pathologist at the Cleveland Clinic, where she
met Dr. Kay. A St. Louis native, Melinda felt a tight bond with the
Tucson community where she raised her two boys, Cameron and Casey,
and managed the ‘family business’ for well over 20 years.

As Practice Manager, Melinda saw it as her responsibility to
consistently keep up with the industry’s technology, sorting out the
good from the bad and the ugly. This is a multi-faceted process
where science, efficacy, safety, and cost for the patient must be
taken into consideration. Working collaboratively with Dr. Kay and
rest of the Perfection team, a comprehensive, result-oriented, and
safe ‘tool box’ was developed. Aside from the machines themselves,
Melinda placed an immense amount of trust in the technical skill of
both the surgical team and skin care team. She considered herself
lucky to work alongside family, and a staff that feels like family,
every day.

When not consumed by everything Perfection Plastic Surgery & Skin
Care, Melinda was an avid sports fan and chef. She loved traveling
to lands both near and far, making memories with friends and
visiting family.

Words cannot express how much Melinda will be missed by her friends,
family and everyone who knew her. Her professionalism and kindness
are greatly missed, but the work she did in building an exceptional
team that truly is a family will live on.

Our cutest and most loved employee on staff, Muffin Kay, brings
smiles and comfort to everyone who walks into the waiting room!

RoseMarie’s background is as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse. After
receiving her R.N. in 1989 at Pima Community College in Tucson,
RoseMarie became a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse where she worked in
neonatal units, developed staff liaison positions, taught parent
education classes and managed a 70 member staff. For the past 10
years at Perfection, RoseMarie has provided the full complement of
non-surgical services, including Botox injections and dermal
fillers. It is likely that her experience in working on the tiny
veins of prematurely born infants has afforded RoseMarie her
reputable “soft touch” with her patients at Perfection. She is also
a Trainer for the aesthetic laser division of the Lumenis
Corporation. RoseMarie’s off-hours pleasures involve visiting her
daughter overseas (Italy, Germany, then Japan) whenever possible,
watching her teenage son play basketball, listening to books on
tape, and playing cards.

“I take great pleasure in helping my patients improve their physical
appearance, and witnessing the accompanying emotional uplift. I love
watching spirits soar as the results of their treatment become
noticeable.” – RoseMarie
