After graduation, you need a window to ‘eat your marshmallow’ or you’ll miss it.”“I don’t look at the specialty label; I look at the individual—training, vision, safety, and results.”“Find colleagues whose treatment philosophy matches yours. The patient experience is best when like-minded people care for them.”“I’m obsessive about details. If something isn’t perfect, it irks me—and everyone on the team buys into that standard.”“Derms are great at skin; surgeons are great at surgery. The patient wins when each expert does what they do best.”“As you reduce orbital volume, the globe moves forward; fix position and the lid often improves from support alone.”“I define myself as a surgeon. The medical and dental degrees gave me foundations—the identity is surgical.”“A rising tide lifts all ships. More fellowships and growth help everyone in OMFS.”“If you don’t grow, you die.”“Time is important.
