Is it okay for a nurse practitioner to do Botox? Is it worth exploring this place? GP suggested it?

Asked By:MonicaLS in Seattle, Washington

Hello, I asked my family doctor if she new of any great derms or surgeons that perform botox in Seattle. She gave me a name of a place of a dermologists office. I looked it up to see who would be doing the work, and noticed there are 3 dermatologists 1 astatician and 1 nurse practitioner. In the details I read that the nurse performs botox?? This makes me a bit nervous! Should it?
