me.losangeles was founded in 2019 by long time best friends and now business partners Hilda and Merdina.

Their friendship started in the very beginning of their medical careers while both on school rotations. The path was not without its challenges but always rewarding leading them both to their passion of owning a business based in aesthetic medicine.

Dr. Merdina Mustedanagić, DMSc, MSPA-C, better know as Dina to her close friends and family, was in her final year of training in 2013 before heading off to start her journey as a MSPA-C ultimately leading her to where she is today; an emergency room physician
associate with a passion in aesthetics and business.

Dr. Hilda Riderer, DO, was in her fourth year of medical school in 2013 and on her way to start residency in Internal Medicine eventually becoming the medical director of her hospital group while still practicing inpatient adult medicine and pursuing her passion for skincare and wellness.

Upon meeting, Dina and Hilda quickly hit it off as two young fun-loving girls with similar interests in music (rap anyone?), dessert (chocolate cake all day) and fashion only to soon find out that both were born and raised in Eastern Europe which further strengthened their bond.

Hilda was born and raised in Romania which at the time was a very poor communist country not affording many opportunities to its people. Her parents made the selfless move to America without a penny to their names and only the dream to give their child the best life possible.

During the same time Dina was being raised in Bosnia through a period of a genocide war which forced her and her family to live in refugee camps for three years. When given the opportunity to move to the United States, her parents, also with no money, made the brave move to give their family a better life and a chance at making their dreams come true.

The girls remained close throughout the rest of their training and major life events always discussing their love of business and aesthetics at weekend brunches between secrets and gossip of their love lives until the perfect opportunity presented itself. They both found themselves at the peak of their careers in the hospital and excited to finally start on the new venture and chapter in life they’d always dreamed of. In 2019 me.losangeles was born from years upon years of hard work and determination.

me.losangeles will grow and expand as the girls continue to dream their way through life and apply themselves ambitiously.

They are excited for this journey in their lives and so grateful for the opportunity and support of all of their new me.losangeles clients.
