Totally Fake Interviewer (TFI):

We’re here today with the one and only Dr. Elizabeth McCorkle, asking the tough questions that all of her patients really want the answers to! Dr. McCorkle… Elizabeth… what do you prefer being called?

EJM:

Elizabeth or Dr. McCorkle—either is fine! Just not Liz or some cutesy version of Elizabeth.

TFI:

Got it. No "Lizzie"—noted! Now, tell us a little about yourself. How did you start your practice?

EJM:

Born and raised in the South (NC, TN, GA, SC), I made my way to Eugene in 1999. I love this part of the world—I don’t even dislike the rain! I’m an unapologetic dog lover, and my three Australian Labradoodles, Lola, Lisette, and Coco, are my constant companions. We live in a fantastic house I fully renovated, with a big yard that keeps me busy.

Living so close to Beppe & Gianni’s, Sweet Life, Prince Puckler’s, and Hey, Neighbor is dangerous for my waistline, so when I’m not working in my yard, I do a lot of power walking to balance it all out.

I graduated from my Obstetrics and Gynecology residency in 1996, practiced Ob/Gyn until 2009, moved to Bend for Gyn, then returned to Eugene in 2011 to open a Gyn and medical aesthetics practice. In 2016, I transitioned to offering Botox, facial fillers, and Kybella exclusively—and honestly, this is the most fun I’ve ever had in my professional career.

TFI:

Okay, but let’s pause for a moment—these dog photos. Who are these adorable little fluff balls?

EJM:

Lola is my 8-year-old parti-colored Australian Labradoodle. She’s a little skittish but unbelievably smart and loving. Lisette, my 6-year-old chocolate Australian Labradoodle, is a rascal with a huge personality. And then there’s Coco, the most recent ‘doodle addition to the dog pack. She’s gentle, playful, and already stealing hearts everywhere she goes!

TFI:

What makes coming to you a special experience for your patients?

EJM:

Aside from the fact that I’m really good at what I do? 😆 My patients appreciate that my practice is 100% personalized.

✅ They only interact with me—no middlemen, no automated responses. If they text, I answer.
✅ Appointments are flexible and designed to accommodate my patients' schedules.
✅ I schedule generously so no one is rushed, and you’ll rarely wait on arrival.
✅ My office is in my home, making it a private, cozy, and welcoming experience.

Plus, I help keep costs down by working closely with Allē and Aspire (loyalty programs that offer fantastic patient rebates!).

TFI:

What’s the most popular treatment people come in for?

EJM:

Botulinum toxin (Botox and Dysport) is the most requested procedure, with fillers and Kybella close behind. Patients also stop by for Latisse, SkinMedica, and Obagi skin care products.

TFI:

Who actually needs Botox or Dysport?

EJM:

No one needs toxins, but a lot of people want them! Most patients come in after noticing a wrinkle they don’t love and want to explore options. Sometimes, a change in skincare (hello, sunscreen and retinol) is all they need!

TFI:

Alright, let’s say someone decides on Botox. What can they expect?

EJM:

First, I want to know what they like about their face—do they love their lips, jawline, or skin? Then, I ask what change they’re after.

If Botox is a good option, I’ll go over:
📌 What it does (history, benefits, and how it works)
📌 What to expect (how long it lasts, when results appear)
📌 Alternative treatments (because options are important!)

Once they’re ready, they read and sign a consent form, and then we’re off! The actual injections take only a few minutes. Since aftercare is key, I make sure they leave fully informed about what to expect post-treatment.

TFI:

Well, Dr. McCorkle, this has been enlightening. Can we check in with you another time?

EJM:

Absolutely! But honestly, the best way to get answers fast is to text me directly at (541) 335-1928. I love chatting with my patients—these are people I consider friends!
