About
Even as a little girl, Dr. Jacqueline M. Youtsos, MD, (“Jackie”) knew she wanted to be a physician. It was her own personal experience, however, that would eventually lead her to the field of Dermatology.
Dr. Youtsos grew up in Wausau, WI, with her parents and four sisters. She enjoyed a sunshine-filled childhood, growing up in a lakeside home, and serving as a community lifeguard each summer. Following high school graduation, Dr. Youtsos pursued her undergraduate degree at the University of Minnesota, then pursued further medical training and her residency at the University of Chicago.
Dr. Youtsos fulfilled her residency at the NorthShore Family Medicine program in Chicago’s northern suburbs. As a resident, Dr. Youtsos encountered a new challenge, this time as a patient. Years of sun exposure and tanning bed use had finally taken their toll, resulting in a melanoma diagnosis (a form of skin cancer).
In 2009, during her second and third years as a resident, Dr. Youtsos underwent melanoma removal, while also participating in every dermatology and derm-pathology elective available. As a resident, Dr. Youtsos’ personal connection with the field of dermatology and her newfound knowledge resulted in her serving as a guest lecturer to other residency programs.
In 2012, Dr. Youtsos beat cancer (the first of two times), graduated from her residency program, and became a Board-Certified Doctor of Family Medicine, with extensive training in the field of Dermatology.
Following graduation, Dr. Youtsos moved to New Mexico to practice alongside a Family Medicine Physician who served dermatology patients exclusively. It was there that she met her husband Eric, who was born and raised in Southeast Kansas. In October of 2014, Jacqueline and her husband were engaged during the Pittsburg State Homecoming Parade. They married in May 2015. A few months later, the couple relocated to Pittsburg, KS, to be closer to family and provide medical care to Southeast Kansans. (Eric is a Physical Therapist at a nearby hospital.)
In 2016, Dr. Youtsos established ReNu Medical & Spa, which offers patients various medical and cosmetic dermatology services. Before ReNu’s opening, many Southeast Kansans needed to travel a considerable distance to care for their skin and cosmetic needs. Dr. Youtsos believes easily accessible and equitable care should be available to everyone, which is why she established ReNu in this medically under-served area. She is also one of the only practitioners in the region that accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.
ReNu Medical & Spa is proud to have served over 7500+ patients in Southeast Kansas, across its four office locations in Pittsburg, Iola, Chanute, and Girard. She also frequently travels and serves as a keynote speaker for the cosmetic technology company Alma Lasers, of which Dr. Youtsos is an endorsed provider. This endorsement is an honor bestowed upon few physicians and represents a practitioner’s skill and procedural excellence as an Alma Laser service provider. She also serves as a dermatology consultant for TreCeuticals, a pharmaceutical grade, age defying skin care line.
When she’s out of the office, Dr. Youtsos enjoys spending time with her husband and daughters at their home on Farlington Lake. The family also loves traveling to Florida whenever they can to enjoy the sand and sea. ReNu’s new facility offers medical, cosmetic, and spa services in a design aesthetic inspired by sunny Naples, FL.

Get to know a Family Physician that Specializes in Dermatology, Dr. Jacqueline M. Youtsos, who serves patients in Pittsburg, Kansas.
Dr. Jacqueline Youtsos, fondly known as Jackie, has carved a remarkable journey in the field of medicine, particularly in dermatology, driven by both passion and personal experience. She is the Founder of ReNu Medical & Spa, based in Pittsburg, Kansas.
Hailing from Wausau, Wisconsin, she was captivated by the idea of becoming a physician from her early years. Her upbringing, surrounded by the beauty of lakeside living, instilled in her a love for sunshine and community, shaping her into the compassionate individual she is today.
After completing her undergraduate studies at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Youtsos pursued her medical training and residency at the esteemed University of Chicago. It was during her residency at the NorthShore Family Medicine program in Chicago’s suburbs that fate intervened, as she found herself facing a melanoma diagnosis—a consequence of years spent under the sun and in tanning beds.
Despite this formidable challenge, she emerged victorious, undergoing melanoma removal while immersing herself in every aspect of dermatology available during her residency. In 2012, she triumphed over cancer and earned her board certification in family medicine, with a specialized focus on dermatology. Her journey led her to New Mexico, where she met her husband, Eric, and eventually settled in Pittsburg, to provide much-needed medical care to the community.
Driven by her belief in equitable healthcare access, Dr. Youtsos established ReNu Medical & Spa in 2016, bringing a comprehensive range of dermatological services to Southeast Kansas. Her commitment to serving the underserved has touched the lives of over 7500 patients across four office locations, making quality care accessible to all.
Beyond her practice, Dr. Youtsos is a respected figure in the dermatological community, serving as a keynote speaker for Alma Lasers and a consultant for TreCeuticals.
Despite her busy schedule, she cherishes moments with her family by the serene Farlington Lake and enjoys traveling to Florida. The design aesthetic of ReNu’s new facility, inspired by sunny Naples, reflects her unwavering commitment to bringing warmth and care to every patient’s experience.
