Background
Dr. Giordano
Dr. Stephen Giordano specializes in Minimally Invasive and Invasive procedures such as SmartLipo, Deep Laser Resurfacing, Skin Tightening, Vaginal Rejuvenation, Platelet Rich Plasma, Botox, Juvederm, Dysport, Restylane, FUE Hair Transplantation and Restoration, ARTAS Robotic Hair Restoration as well as many others.

Quite simply, the main goal of establishing CAMI was to provide patients with aesthetic medical care while remaining grounded in honesty, integrity, and compassion. Prior to settling into private practice, he founded and managed a large multi-specialty physician group that provided acute and post-acute care for 3 hospitals, 5 nursing homes, 1 wound care/hyperbaric medical center, and a weight loss center. Dr. G served as the Medical Director and Attending Physician for most of these facilities before fully dedicating to Carolina Age Management Institute. His dream has always been to help people look and feel amazing both inside and out. Dr. G is also focusing on making CAMI one of the best training centers in North Carolina for other providers.
In his free time, Dr. G enjoys playing guitar and piano as well as attending as many acoustic concerts as he can. He is formerly Division I Pole Vaulter at West Virginia University, and enjoys staying up to date on the current athletes. Football, Wrestling, Pole Vaulting, Track and Field, and Volleyball are some of his favorite sports. He lives in the Lake Norman area, and loves spending time with his wife Amber, his sons Luca and Jase, his daughter Sophia, and their 3 dogs Max, Hurley, and Riley.
