Our Team
Meet Whitney
Practice Manager
Whitney Stevenson joined the BPS team in June 2019 with over 15 years of medical office experience and 10 years of managing plastic surgery practices. She has worked in many different capacities within the plastics field, and has a wealth of experience handling delicate patient issues, negotiating with insurance companies and implementing procedures that keep our office running like a “well-oiled machine.”
As our practice manager, Whitney is responsible for overseeing all daily operations of the practice and maintaining knowledge of industry trends to keep BPS a competitive leader in the field. She loves contributing to a thriving practice and is devoted to guiding our team, but her primary goal will always be to provide outstanding service to all who enter our doors and to exceed our patients’ expectations. She considers herself fortunate to have found her passion for business development and operations while also being able to help others become the best versions of themselves at the same time.
While she loves spending time with her BPS family, when Whitney is away from the office, you’ll rarely find her away from her own family. She and her husband, Nick, have three beautiful (and busy) children: Maddie, Logan, and Hannah. They live in Deer Park and are very active in their local community. There are times that dance class, football practice, cooking, and laundry takes over their lives, but they always find time to slow down for what’s most important: family game night; pizza, popcorn, and movies with the kids; and even an occasional sushi date!

When Liam has his own play dates to go on, Erica enjoys accompanying Bryce at the casinos, going on motorcycle rides, floating the river, and spending time with her extended family.
