Twenty years ago, Bella Medical Spa was just a dream one rooted in the idea that medicine could bring not only healing, but joy. Today, Bella stands as a trusted name in aesthetics, known not only for top-tier results but also for the relationships, trust, and confidence built along the way.
We sat down with Bella’s founder and visionary, Dr. David Boles, to reflect on two decades of growth, change, and the community that has made Bella what it is today.
The Dream
Dr. Boles’ journey into aesthetics began while he was fully immersed in family medicine. Day after day, he cared for patients through life’s most difficult moments meaningful, yes, but often heavy with stress and responsibility.
Then came a spark of inspiration.
“I noticed a friend who was an orthodontist. His patients came in smiling and left smiling, even after braces adjustments. It made me wonder: what if medicine could also be a place where people walked in happy and walked out even happier?”
The answer revealed itself through the world of aesthetics. Lasers, Botox, fillers all opportunities for patients to invest in themselves, not out of crisis, but out of confidence and self-care. And so, Bella was born.
The Journey
When Bella first opened, it was a small but mighty team of five Dr. Boles, his wife Cathy, Brandon Street, and a handful of dedicated staff. Everyone wore many hats and did whatever it took to bring the vision to life.
Fast-forward two decades, and Bella is now home to a team of more than 13 incredible women. Together, they’ve grown alongside an ever-evolving industry, embracing cutting-edge technologies and techniques while never losing sight of Bella’s guiding philosophy: helping people feel confident in their own skin.
“I’ve come to realize there’s nothing superficial about what we do. Confidence can change the way someone walks through the world. That’s powerful.”
The Milestones
Bella’s history is filled with moments of pride but for Dr. Boles, the highlights have always been about people more than numbers.
- Watching staff grow: Team members who started as young adults have become seasoned experts, pouring years of loyalty and passion into Bella.
- Earning trust year after year: Bella has grown consistently since day one, welcoming both new patients and returning ones who’ve been with us from the start.
- National recognition: From awards to being named one of Allergan’s top practices in Tennessee, Bella has become a leader in the aesthetics industry.
Still, the truest achievement is the relationships the bonds between staff and patients that have shaped Bella into more than a med spa.
The People
From the beginning, Bella’s success has been built on its people. The warm welcome at the front desk, the attentive care in the treatment room, the consistency of long-standing team members like Kelsey, Lauren, and Theresa every touchpoint reflects the heart behind Bella.
“Everything we do comes down to our team. They are the reason patients feel at home the moment they walk in.”
And at the center of it all: the patients.
“To every patient who has walked through our doors thank you. Thank you for trusting us with something so personal. Thank you for growing with us, for referring friends, for letting us be part of your story. You’ve made Bella what it is today.”
The Legacy
What began as one doctor’s dream has grown into a 20-year legacy a family of staff, patients, and community bound together by a shared belief: that caring for the outside can also honor the beauty within.
To Clarksville and the thousands of patients who have supported Bella across two decades: thank you for allowing us to serve you. We can’t wait to see what the next 20 years will bring.
✨ Here’s to confidence. Here’s to care. Here’s to 20 years of Bella.
