In the over three decades that I have spent in Teaching, Practice, and Research in the fields of Medicine and Aesthetics, I have strived to provide leadership by example. It is my belief that trust is a value to be earned, and that as a Physician, that trust is a solemn commitment to my patients, their families, and to the medical community, in general. To that effect, I have invested my entire career to deliver excellence in the practice of medicine, the teaching of the medical sciences, and the furtherment of patient care through critical medical research. I have had the opportunity to bring several critical drugs to market, through ethical medical research, My research focus has been on metabolic diseases, HIV, and Vaccine Development. My commitment to teaching has been rewarded with several honors and awards, from the University and National levels. Most importantly, it is my belief that in the short time that we are afforded the ability to affect our environment, it is incumbent upon Physicians to elevate the delivery of ethical, quality medical care. I have dedicated my career to this end. My current position allows me tremendous latitude and opportunities to elevate the community of aesthetic treaters, and enhance the ability to meet the needs of our clients.
