Alex Roher, MD
CEO/Medical Director
Dr. Roher remains a practicing board-certified anesthesiologist, but his real passion is helping people change their lives for the better. Back in 2012, Dr. Roher opened SDBotox with a desire to help people achieve enhancements with minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. Since then, SDBotox has been a groundbreaking endeavor with six locations, 16 advanced aesthetic providers and a reputation as San Diego's most trusted medspa. Throughout his time in the industry, he realized there was a barrier to entry for medical providers to enter the world of aesthetics so the Aesthetic Training academy by SDBotox was born!
