Meet Our Team

Chris Hamby, NP

Chris came to Upstate Plastic Surgery in 2003 where she was a circulating nurse in the operating room. She then moved to work with Dr. Keller where she assisted him in surgery and patient care. She obtained her Registered Nurse First Assist while in that position. Chris later went back to school and obtained her Bachelors and Masters in Nursing still while working for Dr. Keller. That was not enough so she then went back to obtain her nurse practitioner certification. Chris was personal assistant to Dr. Keller for twelve years and during that time gained unmeasurable knowledge of plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine. Dr. Keller acted as one of her preceptors and spent that time educating her in injection techniques. Chris has been working for a little more than a year in urgent care and is excited to return to aesthetic specialty. She will now be available for injectables but also detailed skin care plans along with laser treatments. Her many years of experience with Dr. Keller makes it a natural fit. She will be the supervising nurse practitioner at Augusta Road Aesthetics.

Louisa Adair, RN

Louisa began her nursing career as an Intensive Care nurse at Spartanburg Regional Hospital. After several years of critical care, she began to work with Dr. Keller on a part-time basis in 1999 and by 2000 she was full-time where she has worked since. Her main responsibilities have been to develop and maintain the skin care center and has been instrumental in adapting the program for patient needs and keep it current. Louisa was able to bring her detail care she learned in the ICU to her work with skin care to provide the safest treatments available. Her ability to recognize potential problems and resolve them gives her great skill in providing care to her patients. She over the past twenty plus years has become an expert in laser treatment as well. She will continue to provide these areas of expertise with detailed and specific skin regimen plans but in addition she will use knowledge gained from her many years in aesthetic medicine to move her into a position to also provide injectables. Dr. Keller has personally worked with her, and she will be a great asset to our team with all her many skills.

Noelle Monteleone, Aesthetician

Noelle Monteleone is one of our amazing aestheticians at Augusta Road Aesthetics! We knew we were missing something but until she joined us, we didn’t realize just how much we needed her. Noelle has a long history with aesthetics beginning as a model and make-up artist. In 1996 she found her passion when she became a certified aesthetician and began to work in the field. Over the years she has been a forward thinker and has never stopped in the pursuit of additional education and training. Since the beginning she has tirelessly pursued her career and has added numerus training certifications from laser, chemical peels, skin care and even 3-D areolar tattooing for those women faced with breast reconstruction. 

Noelle has extensive knowledge of skin health and products that can be successfully used to battle both the effects of time and age. Listening to her discuss with patients their needs is refreshing and wonderful to hear. This along with her inviting and comforting personality make her a wonderful addition to our team of providers. She has an energy that is contagious to others and the missing link at Augusta Road Aesthetics. She makes us all better. When she made the decision to join us the standard response from her patients was “ You really got a good one!” It is obvious with every patient interaction she is committed to helping her patients fell and look their best.

Noelle has traveled extensively, and we continue to learn more and more of her adventures. She loves live music and dancing and lives for the next experience. If she is not working or traveling, she is spending quality time with her eleven-year-old son who she adores. Please call and make an appointment to meet her and if you are one of her previous patients please come join us here at Augusta Road Aesthetics you will love it.
