1. You were recently named Small Business Leader of the Year by the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, the first ever for a physician. Were you surprised?
Very much so. I found out a few hours before it was April 1 and had to make sure it wasn’t an April Fool’s joke of some kind.

2. How long have you been practicing in Boca?
For over 15 years, and we recently expanded and doubled the size of the practice.

3. How has the field of hair restoration evolved?
Advances come rapidly, and I attend conferences continually to stay up to speed. There is bad work out there, and some people think that is the norm.

4. What are some of the common myths?
That it is a painful process, takes a long time or it is apparent you’ve had the work done. There are no stitches or pain, and you just sit back and relax while watching a movie or sipping a beverage.

5. What are a few of the latest developments or procedures?
We offer a range of cutting edge services including eyelash transplantation, body contouring and facial rejuvenation to name but a few.

6. Even in a languishing economy, your business is thriving. How do you account for such success?
I stay very involved with patients, and it’s not just coming in for a procedure and then we send you on your way. We have so many services to offer both men and women, and I think the personal approach is key to our success.
