My Life Outside the Office
I truly enjoy teaching other doctors and medical professionals about the advanced methods I have developed in the fight against skin cancer and acne scars. When I am not writing book chapters on scientific articles, I am traveling to conferences where I lecture and share my knowledge to help promote the advancement of our field.
I love animals and have always. Amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds - I cherish them all and have adopted 29 homeless animals to date. I have recently adopted three dobermans and they take up most of my free time outside of the office. They are literally a handful!
I enjoy adventure. On weekends when I am not lecturing at a conference, I enjoy taking road trips in my beautiful home state of California. One of my favorite destinations is Big Sur because it the perfect harmony of the mountains meeting the sea.
My second favorite go-to destination is Zion National Park in Utah because I love to hike the red rocks. The scenery is so captivating!
When I travel outside the US, my favorite destination is the island of Santorini, Greece. I have never seen such beautiful sunsets as I have while riding an ATV across this heavenly place.
Scuba diving in tropical waters is a passion that I cannot live without. My favorite diving is the treacherous Blue Hole in Belize! I hope to dive the Red Sea next!
