How has Naples specifically shaped or supported your professional journey?
I have personally practiced in Naples for over 30 years and built an incredible network of patients and referring physicians and other referring professionals. The community support has led to the rapid growth of Azul Cosmetic Surgery over the years.
What's a side of you that most people don't know about — a passion, talent, or hobby that might surprise people?
I am a dog lover with two beautiful golden retrievers, Sunny and Millie. Now that our three girls are out of the house, our furry family takes front and center.
