Uber: A Paradigm Shift in Transportation

Uber means “super” in German, and it is super. Understandably, 99% of my blogs deal with cosmetic surgery but from time to time I enjoy writing about noteworthy situations and Uber falls into that category. Uber is a ride service that is digital, easy, affordable, safe and hip.  It also represents a paradigm shift.  A […]

Domestic Violence, Ray Rice, and the NFL

   Sometimes it takes a tragic or unfortunate situation to shed light on very important topics such as Robin Williams’s untimely death which brought attention to depression and suicide.  The recent video that showed NFL star Ray Rice knock out his girlfriend, as horrific as it was, will no doubt bring much needed attention to […]

Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery: Plain and Simple

Aging changes occur at an earlier age in the upper face and hence I am performing cosmetic eyelid surgery  (blepharoplasty)  from the mid fourth decade on.  Aging changes in the eyelids include excess sagging skin, fat bags and wrinkly skin.

Technology Review: AccuVein imaging device to view veins

I love new technology and regularly perform technology reviews.  The AccuVein device is a neat little hand held bundle of technology that shows superficial veins.  The device uses visible and invisible laser light to show the veins under the skin.  It has a big “cool factor” as it looks magic that the veins seem to […]

Laser Treatment of Acne Scars

Acne can be a devastating condition for numerous reasons.  Not only are there physical lesions and scars, but there is also a large emotional component as well.  To add insult to injury, it all happens in the years after puberty when we begin dating and relationships. Acne is basically a bacterial disease where the bacteria […]

“Saving” Frank Sinatra

Recently, Open Source RVA posted a story by David Brumfield on entertainers that were injured in Richmond over the years.  Sort of a recap of mayhem that befell star performers that graced our city. One of the items was Frank Sinatra collapsing on stage at the Mosque on March 6th, 1994 and being attended by  several […]
