This week on Medical Morons, we're bringing you a truly eye-opening episode – literally! Kylie and Michael sit down with the brilliant Dr. Bradley Glodny, a renowned dermatologist and the visionary owner of Park Avenue Dermatology in NYC.

Kylie's connection to Dr. Glodny is a unique one: she first sought him out in a panic after an unfortunate incident left her eye partially paralyzed from a cheap Botox injection. Dr. Glodny not only expertly improved her condition, but Kylie was so impressed by his clinical skill and the exceptional quality of his practice that she knew he'd be a perfect guest for Medical Morons.

In this candid conversation, we dive into the business side of aesthetics and dermatology, exploring:

• Dr. Glodny's Vision: Discover the driving philosophy behind Park Avenue Dermatology and what sets his practice apart in the competitive NYC landscape.
• Starting Strong: Hear about his journey from concept to reality – the challenges and triumphs of launching a successful dermatology practice.
• Social Media: Dr. Glodny talks about the “necessary evil” that is social media in this profession and how he approaches content creation.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in high-quality patient care, the entrepreneurial journey in healthcare, and perhaps a cautionary (but ultimately successful!) tale of what can go wrong when you cut corners.
