Get To Know Our Doctors | Asking For A Friend

How Three Experts Took Different Paths To Create “Desired Healthcare”A great practice starts with great people. And so, this time, we’re doing a little consultation of our own to meet the minds behind Donaldson. In this special episode of Asking For A Friend, host Carrie Esposito sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Donaldson, Dr. Michelle Sieffert and Dr. Marguerite Weston to explore how three very different career paths and upbringings came together to redefine what modern medicine can look like.This episode is for anyone curious about careers in medicine, the art of plastic surgery, the science of functional medicine or simply what they may be missing out of their own patient experience as they seek a more collaborative approach to their own care (instead of a compromise). Everything We’re Covering:How Dr. Donaldson went from family medicine provider to plastic surgery entrepreneurHow Dr. Sieffert turned her childhood hobby of knitting & organic instinct to help people into surgical artistryThe vital differences between cosmetic and plastic surgeryDr. Weston's path from doing homework in the waiting room while waiting for her mother to get off her shift, to being the director of functional medicine at DonaldsonWhat makes a great functional medicine provider & why specific credentials matter (a lot!)What rap song did Dr. Weston perform at her wedding?Why is there often hip-hop playing in the operating room?How combining plastic surgery and functional medicine is helping create “Desired Healthcare” — not just required careMeet Your Experts:Jeffrey Donaldson, MD – Board-certified plastic surgeon, founder of Donaldson Plastic Surgery, and leader of the team redefining what a personalized patient experience looks like.Michelle Sieffert, MD – Board-certified plastic surgeon, celebrated for her precision, bedside manner and mastery of anatomy — known regionally for her natural, life-enhancing results and innovative surgical artistry, especially when it comes to facelift surgery.Marguerite Weston, MD, IFMCP – Double board-certified functional medicine physician helping patients uncover root causes and bridge the gap between traditional care and total wellness.Hosted by Carrie Esposito – The voice of Asking For A Friend, connecting expert insights with real stories and plenty of curiosity.🎙️ About The Asking For A Friend Podcast 🎙️Asking For A Friend is Donaldson's women's health podcast, featuring plastic surgeons, aesthetic providers and functional medicine experts based in Columbus, Ohio, talking through the things you actually want to ask but haven't found the right moment to say out loud.No question is off the table!
