We’ll also tackle his perspective on how COVID was a blessing in disguise for right-sizing practices, expenses, and processes that had disproportionately grown as a result of scaling so quickly. From hiring and training Providers to leveraging technology to simplify and optimize the patient experience, his approach to disruptive change can often seem controversial…..but he’s survived and thrived at scale, and he’s here to tell us how.

He’s also the CEO of Aesthetic Record, and we’ll discuss the trajectory of building technology in a rapidly growing industry and how COVID was equally (but opposite!) disruptive as we built massive features overnight to meet an unforeseen shift in the marketplace.

His practice is designed to guide those patients who are ready to put in the work to take control of their mental and physical health. No victims here!

Aside from his innovative work as a functional and regenerative expert, he’s also an accomplished aesthetic injector with a busy practice devoted to filler, toxin, lasers and more. He walks us through how each part of his practice builds and supports the other. It all comes together with a creative marketing approach that Dr. Sorr designed to guide his patients through their treatment journey.
