Tori Kruger

Medical Aesthetician

Tori is passionate about healthy skin and personalized client care. She earned her Medical Aesthetician diploma at the Versailles Academy of Makeup and Arts in Ottawa and holds specialized certification in Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy. At Valley Aesthetics MD, Tori focuses on laser treatments, microneedling, and chemical peels.

Tori brings more than seven years of experience in the aesthetics industry, where she built strong client relationships and helped run a busy studio. Along the way, she developed a strong foundation in client care, communication, and creating a welcoming experience for everyone she works with.

Tori’s own experience with rosacea is part of what inspired her interest in medical aesthetics. She understands firsthand how much the right treatment and skincare approach can influence the way someone feels about their skin.

Warm, approachable, and attentive, Tori believes great skincare starts with listening. She takes the time to understand each client’s concerns and goals, providing thoughtful, personalized care in a comfortable and supportive environment.

Outside the clinic, Tori loves travelling, spending time outdoors, being near the ocean, and enjoying time with animals and her nieces and nephews. And wherever she goes, there’s a good chance you’ll find her with a coffee in hand!

Dr. Steve Radke is the founder and Medical Director of Valley Aesthetics MD, bringing more than 20 years of clinical experience to every patient interaction. A graduate of the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine, he is certified in Family Medicine, holds additional accreditation in Sport and Exercise Medicine, and is a Fellow of the College of Family Physicians of Canada. For 12 years, he served as Chief of Staff at Renfrew Victoria Hospital and supervised residents through the University of Ottawa’s Department of Family Medicine. That depth of clinical leadership informs everything about his approach to aesthetic care: thorough assessment, honest recommendations, and sound medical judgment in a field that demands it. Dr. Radke believes aesthetic medicine is most effective when it is conservative and individualized. He is just as comfortable advising against a treatment as recommending one, and his clients consistently appreciate his calm, unhurried manner and precise attention to detail. He delivers natural-looking results that leave clients feeling refreshed and confident, not changed. His philosophy: the best aesthetic result is one that looks like nothing was done at all.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Radke spends his time hiking, skiing, biking, and astrophotography. He photographs deep-sky objects and celestial details with the same patience and precision he brings to the treatment room.

Amanda Vance is a Registered Practical Nurse and Clinical Aesthetic Specialist who has been part of the Valley Aesthetics MD team since 2019. She graduated from Algonquin College in 2008 and spent years in emergency, medical-surgical, dialysis, and palliative care at Renfrew Victoria Hospital and Bonnechere Manor. That clinical foundation gave her strong technical skills, sharp patient communication, and a genuine bedside manner that carries directly into aesthetic practice. Amanda transitioned into aesthetic medicine under the direct training and mentorship of Dr. Radke and specializes in microneedling, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, sclerotherapy for spider veins, and hyperhidrosis treatment. She has a particular passion for working with moms and busy women who are ready to carve out time for themselves. Her goal for every appointment is simple: clients should leave feeling informed, relaxed, and genuinely refreshed. Amanda’s approach is warm and reassuring, especially for clients who are nervous or new to aesthetic treatments.

Outside the clinic, Amanda is kept happily busy by three young boys, a full calendar of hockey rinks and baseball diamonds, and an old farmhouse renovation she and her husband are turning into a country homestead.
