It is the holy grail of running a successful plastic surgery practice. The secret is no surprise. It is plainly and simply: kindness…. [Read More]

Hello. My name is Jenna and I’m a millennial. My fellow 23 to 38-year-olds, rejoice. We are singlehandedly responsible for killing everything that’s good in the world. Talk about power. My much-despised generation has been blamed for everything from the demise of department stores and chain restaurants to bar soap (huge loss, I know). We’re… [Read More]

Plastic surgery can also be considered a journey for some. Here is my friend Brandie’s first step. ^^^ This is Brandie.^^^ We’ve been friends for 10 years and once even evaded the fuzz together (does anyone even say fuzz, or is it like fetch??) Anyway, I digress. Brandie and I met while working at Victoria’s… [Read More]

Welcome to the first post in my journal series! As you will discover when reading, I am embarking on a new phase in my life. While I love this practice, it is time to move on, and I am blessed to have the support of Dr. Schlesinger (Larry) and the team. While I do not… [Read More]
