What do you love most about your position?
FUN FACTS!
Brag fact?
What does “confidence is a choice” mean to you?
- Most of the hardships we encounter come from the inside. Our own negative thoughts and emotions. So we all have a choice as to what type of energy we accept, and which thoughts we choose to follow. Choose confidence!
What drew you to this industry?
- My grandfather was a plastic surgeon in post World War II America. He helped the so-called “Hiroshima Maidens” who were injured in the horrific acts of the war. He also helped sew my tongue back together when I was a kid! I chose to follow in his footsteps and in those of my uncle, who is a plastic surgeon in Buffalo, NY.
What is most important to you about what we do?
- I’m in it for the trust. When someone trusts me to do my best, I know I can do my best! It is the greatest honor of my life to have the trust of moms and young women who want my help. I always say: you provide the trust, I provide the care.
What is special about our patients?
- Moms not models is a bit of a mantra around here. Helping the “regular” mom is anything but regular. These are women who have given everything, including their bodies, to make a family. Again, a great honor of my life to help these women get their bodies back, and get their confidence back with plastic surgery.
What do you love most about your position?
- I love that I’m just another member of the team. I often think of my team with a sports analogy, where we pass the ball to each other. I might be getting all of the glory by doing the final touches, but really if you look from the inside, we are a cohesive team that loves to help one another get the best results for our patients.
