An inside interview with LocateADoc.com
What makes your specialties the right fields of medicine for you?
Plastic Surgery has given me the opportunity to blend artistic abilities with patient care. Patients want to know that their surgeon has the ability to perform an aesthetic procedure to compliment their unique features, and not just a rubber stamp surgery.
Finish this sentence: If I weren't a doctor I would be___.
A teacher with hobbies of furniture design and building.
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?
Being artistic with a bend for creativity and a love to create with my hands led me to decide to pursue surgery when in college.
Can you tell us in your own words what you consider a perfect outcome of a surgical procedure?
A patient who shows their level of happiness by baking Tollhouse Cookies! A perfect outcome is measured by the degree of patient satisfaction with their outcome.
What is your favorite procedure to perform and why?
Breast augmentation, as it has relatively few risks balanced by an enormous degree of patient satisfaction and little recovery time for patients.
