Outside of surgery, I focus on spending quality time with my family. My wife and I have young children, so most of our free time is dedicated to their activities and lessons. When I have a quiet moment to myself, I really enjoy cooking — it’s a creative outlet that lets me unwind.

My decision to pursue medicine truly solidified during university when I volunteered at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. It wasn’t a single moment but rather a series of meaningful interactions with patients that shaped my path. Listening to their stories, offering comfort, and witnessing the impact that compassionate care could have made me realize that medicine wasn’t just a career — it was a calling. Those experiences inspired me to dedicate my life to helping others, ultimately leading me to plastic surgery, where I could combine my passion for patient care with the artistry and precision the field demands.

Paris. The city’s history, architecture, and culinary excellence are unmatched. What I love most is how Parisians prioritize quality — whether it’s food, relationships, or experiences. It’s a city that embodies beauty and artistry, and it will always have a special place in my heart.
