Wonderful visiting UCSF-East Bay Surgery!

Much has changed since I graduated with the 10th class, but the best parts remain—the people and the spirit of mentorship. The upgraded facilities now include a beautiful green space, a meaningful improvement over the old rooftop “asphalt beach” above the ED—an investment in wellness and community.

It was especially moving to see Dr. Claude H. Organ, Jr. honored for his legacy as founding Chair. He was a remarkable mentor who shaped my journey into plastic surgery and influenced countless others through his dedication to education, mentorship, and research.

A special highlight was reconnecting with Greg Victorino—my former senior resident—who now serves as Chair of Surgery for the Alameda Health System.

I’m deeply grateful to have started my surgical training in the East Bay program and proud to give back in support of the next generation of surgeons.

Another great ASPS Advocacy Summit in the books! Wonderful gathering with like-minded colleagues to advocate for our patients, plastic surgery, and the house of medicine. Met with California Congressional staffers to advocate for federal legislation including the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) Modernization Act, Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act (ELSA), Medicare Patient Access and Physician Stabilization Act, No Surprises Act (NSA) Enforcement Act, and Improving Senior’s Timely Access to Care Act.

Great being able to catch the Kings vs Spurs game with my parents and brother! This was the only regular season home game opportunity to see De’Aaron Fox after his trade. It was good to see him and be a part of expressing thanks for some great memories. Both fun and strange seeing the Spurs lineup with two former Kings, both Fox and Harrison Barnes. It felt as if we were playing against ourselves, but the new Kings comfortably handled the Spurs.

This past weekend concluded a great ASPS Spring Meeting! I want to express my great thanks to all our speakers and moderators. Thank you for giving your time and sharing your expertise in this way! You all made the meeting! I also want to congratulate and thank our Spring Meeting Chair, Samuel Lin for his leadership and the rest of amazing team (Peter, Renee, Jeremiah, Michele, Tom, and my co-Chairs Michelle Roughton, and Melissa Piper) that planned, organized, and executed on this meeting, making it such a wonderful virtual conference. I feel privileged to have been a part of it.

Congratulations to Practice Management Track Chair Michelle Roughton and Breast Track Chair Merisa Piper on their strong programing! While I did miss the Breast Track in real time, I look forward to viewing all the talks as they are still available on demand.

And last and certainly not least, I also want to express my deep personal thanks to all the Aesthetic Speakers and Moderators! You guys crushed it! Thanks for making this track one for the books!
