I was honored to appear on The Doctors, on CBS nationwide on February 11, 2016.
In this special episode, the audience met a brave, beautiful woman who suffered burns on over 85% of her body when her jilted ex-boyfriend set her house on fire. Miraculously, she not only survived, but she has become a powerful role model for others who suffer from domestic violence.
As a result of her devastating burns, she has severe disfigurement of her face and hands that will require extensive plastic surgery.
I was honored to be asked by The Doctors TV to participate in her care as her reconstructive plastic surgeon. Not only is this one of the most challenging cases of my career, but this patient is also one of the most profoundly moving women I have ever met. During taping, her story brought the studio audience to tears and inspired a minutes-long standing ovation. I encourage all of you to see how even the most horrific circumstances can be turned around in this uplifting story, which can be viewed online below.
