LocateADoc Q&A

Describe the most rewarding experience that you have had working with a patient?

I donâ??t see it as a job, itâ??s my passion. I love to see people happy. Just the other day, a patient came into the office to drop off a gift for me, a beautiful piece of jewelry. She was so appreciative. She thanked me greatly as she stated, people think Iâ??m 40! When in reality sheâ??s 54. Even empowering people going back to the job force; the boost in confidence helps them get the jobs they want. I really enjoy making people feel good about themselves, bringing out their best. To me, this is truly rewarding.

What is your favorite quote or saying?

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." Mahatma Ghandi

What is your favorite procedure to perform and why?

My favorite and most rewarding procedure would have to be re-volumizing a womanâ??s face. I consider this procedure the wave of the future. The paradigm for beauty is shifting. Voluma or a combination with fat is high in-demand right now; effectively delivering stunning results.
