Liz Hancock

Liz is the aesthetic coordinator at Papillon Medical. Working closely with the physicians and medical aestheticians, she ensures that guests have the best experience possible. Liz spent eight years in restaurant management but her passion for the medical field pulled her back to school in 2017, so she could pursue a diploma in Medical Administration. Working at Papillon Medical has given her the perfect work-life balance, and she now gets to work in an industry she loves- dermatology and skin care. Liz loves providing a level of care to patients that is unlike anywhere else in order to ensure everyone stepping foot in Papillon Medical leaves feeling like their best self. During her free time, she loves to spend her time outdoors with her son playing pretend.

Philadelphia Pawley

Despite her name, Philadelphia was born in South Africa and moved to Canada for school. Her experience ranges from hairdressing and makeup, to medical office assistant and unit clerk. She has always emphasized the importance of caring for oneself and others. With a particular interest in skin care and their disorders, she says Papillon Medical has provided a place for her to be “efficient, fabulous and effective”. Both sides of Philadelphia’s family have been deeply affected by skin disorders such as melanoma, so Papillon is her happy medium between her two passions- medical aid and cosmetology. She hopes to highlight the importance of sun protection to any patient seeking skin care advice, making her favourite products in office the SkinCeuticals- Physical Fusion sunscreen or any of the tinted sunscreens from TIZO.

In her free time, you can find Philadelphia weight training, partner dancing, singing karaoke or hosting movie marathons with her childhood best friends.
