An inside interview with LocateADoc.com
Describe the most rewarding experience that you have had working with a patient?
One of my patients always had a problem with her weight and the shape of her body. After undergoing a tummy tuck and liposuction to her back and "love handles" she was so excited by the results that she began to cry. She was able to have more confidence in her body and in her relationships.One of my patients always had a problem with her weight and the shape of her body.

What makes your specialties the right fields of medicine for you?
I have always had an eye for what makes a person attractive. Of course, personality is most important, but using sound surgical judgement and applying this to aesthetic surgery has been a passion of mine. In addition, operating on those less fortunate, I have had a chance to make profound impacts on many patients lives with deforming abnormalities.I have always had an eye for what makes a person attractive.

When (your age) did you first realize you wanted to become a surgeon? And did you experience anything in particular to motivate you to achieve this prestigious goal?
I realized I wanted to be a doctor since I first went to a dental convention with my father. In fact, I have always since that time wanted to be in a surgical specialty since I love using my hands and see rapid outcomes from my work.I realized I wanted to be a doctor since I first went to a dental convention with my father.

Can you tell us in your own words what you consider a perfect outcome of a surgical procedure?
A perfect outcome is when not only the patient is pleased with his/her result, but that I too have accomplished what I was trained to perform.A perfect outcome is when not only the patient is pleased with his/her result, but that I too have accomplished what I was trained to perform.
