Cosmetic surgery business to open in Moscow

CEO Andie Frasure said the new branch will open Monday at 948 W. Pullman Road in the plaza that includes Inland Cellular and iSpa.
Hours will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Dr. Geoffrey Stiller was previously with Linea Cosmetic Surgery in Moscow before opening Stiller Aesthetics in Spokane, Frasure said in a text message. Because Stiller was a physician on the Palouse for about 15 years, Stiller Aesthetics decided to open the Moscow office to accommodate his patients on the Palouse.
Frasure wrote that Stiller will see patients in Moscow as well as physician assistant Riley Richardson. Aesthetics registered nurse Kati Haeder will be the main service provider.
