How many board certifications do you hold?
I have triple board certifications. Each board carries with it specific techniques and skills, and the blending of these boards creates a unique skill-set. In particular, my extensive facial training has given me a keen sense of awareness to the natural contours of the body, and parlays itself into a beauty as real as nature.
What accomplishments are you most proud of?
I was awarded the Doctors’ Choice award by Health & Fitness Sports Magazine; as well as the Certificate of Excellence for Best Journal Article by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation; and I was voted one of Houston’s Top Docs by H-Texas Magazine. In addition, I was published in Forbes as a “leading plastic surgeon of the United States.”
What inspired you to establish a pro bono foundation?
I’ve always been taught to be grateful, gracious and appreciative for all that I have been given. I began our Foundation to help underprivileged children around the world, specifically in the Roatan islands. It is a long-term goal of mine to spread good health and education to those who are unfortunate and yet deserving.
