Chico’s Home for Physician-Led Wellness and Aesthetic Care
Privvy Modern Health isn’t a practice that serves Chico from a distance. This is home. Dr. Nerissa Prieto, a board-certified anesthesiologist with Stanford ICU fellowship training, chose Chico in 2007 and has cared for this community ever since, attending to trauma, obstetric, and elective surgical patients at local surgical centers where she still holds active privileges. At Privvy, she brings that same hospital-level judgment to every CO2 laser session, every injection, and every concierge medicine visit, performed personally by her and never handed off to a nurse injector or technician.
For Chico residents, that means physician-led aesthetics, IV therapy, medical weight loss, and concierge primary care, all under one roof and right here in town.
Aesthetic Excellence. Confidence You Can See
Our regenerative aesthetics program gives Chico patients access to the most trusted non-surgical rejuvenation treatments available. BOTOX® Cosmetic softens forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines with precise injections and no downtime. Dermal fillers, including JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and Radiesse®, restore volume, enhance lip shape, and define facial contours with immediate, natural-looking results, injected personally by Dr. Prieto, not delegated to a nurse.
As a full medspa, we go far beyond injectables. CO2 laser skin resurfacing treats deep wrinkles, acne scarring, and sun damage under the direct hand of a board-certified physician with hospital-level training. RF microneedling stimulates deep collagen remodeling, IPL therapy corrects pigmentation and redness, and laser hair reduction provides lasting results. Our medical-grade facials complete the picture for genuinely healthy skin, especially for patients who spend long summer days outdoors in the North Valley sun.
Cellular Rejuvenation. IV Therapy and NAD+
IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and hydration directly into the bloodstream for complete, immediate absorption. Chico patients choose from infusions for immune defense, rapid rehydration, athletic performance, energy restoration, and detoxification support, plus fast vitamin injection shots when time is short.
Our NAD+ IV therapy replenishes the coenzyme essential to mitochondrial energy production, brain function, and DNA repair, helping address the cellular decline behind fatigue, mental fog, and accelerated aging. Patients managing long COVID, neurodegenerative conditions, and hormonal transitions have found real benefit from NAD+ infusions.
Total-Body Wellness Solutions
Medical weight loss at Privvy is built on comprehensive metabolic and hormonal evaluation, not trends, combining FDA-approved medications, tailored nutrition, behavioral strategy, and hormone balancing under ongoing medical supervision. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) restores hormonal equilibrium disrupted by aging, menopause, and andropause, addressing fatigue, mood swings, weight resistance, poor sleep, and brain fog.
Concierge Medicine. Chico’s Only Physician-Led Practice
Privvy is home to Chico’s only concierge medicine practice led directly by a physician rather than a nurse practitioner or physician assistant. Concierge patients get extended appointments, priority access, direct communication with Dr. Prieto herself, comprehensive diagnostics, and full integration with every wellness and aesthetic service we offer. It’s the kind of unhurried, relationship-based care that has disappeared from most modern healthcare, delivered by a physician who has been part of this community for nearly two decades.
