Dr. Ben Javid is more than a dentist—he’s an advocate for patient empowerment and a critic of outdated dental practices. 

Promoting holistic, biologically based alternatives that support overall wellness with minimal toxicity, Dr. Javid understands that true healthcare goes beyond just treating symptoms—it’s about addressing root causes, with nutrition playing a key role in the process.

His journey began in cosmetic dentistry, but over time, he shifted his focus to biological dentistry, recognizing the deep connection between oral health and the rest of the body. 

Dr. Ben and his brother Dr. Shawn Javid recently opened a state-of-the-art facility built around this integrative approach. Their goal is to reconnect oral health with whole-body wellness, collaborating with experts across multiple specialties to create transformative results.

ABOUT MEET THE DOCTOR 

The purpose of the Meet the Doctor podcast is simple.  We want you to get to know your doctor before meeting them in person because you’re making a life changing decision and time is scarce. The more you can learn about who your doctor is before you meet them, the better that first meeting will be. 

When you head into an important appointment more informed and better educated, you are able to have a richer, more specific conversation about the procedures and treatments you’re interested in. There’s no substitute for an in-person appointment, but we hope this comes close.

When Dr. Maryam Zamani is in, she’s all in. She describes her approach to patient care as “full throttle,” because she truly cares, shows up, and even loses sleep making sure her patients are okay. For her, it’s about more than procedures—it’s about helping people live fuller, more empowered lives.

Dr. Zamani doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to plastic surgery. She takes the time to understand what each patient wants, where they are in life, and what really matters to them. She’s all about offering options and creating personalized plans, because every body, every story, and every goal is different.

As a female surgeon caring primarily for women, one thing she takes incredibly seriously is making sure her patients always feel heard, supported, and never pressured. Her priority is always to uplift, not just physically, but emotionally too.

And when it comes to ethics, Dr. Zamani doesn’t compromise. If she feels a procedure isn’t right for someone, she’s not afraid to say “no.” Her north star is always doing what’s in the best interest of the person in front of her.

After nearly two decades in the Bay Area, Dr. Joel Beck made a bold move—literally. Relocating from California to Charlotte, North Carolina, he built a brand-new life and practice from the ground up. And he did it faster than he ever expected.

Thanks to his strategic focus on establishing a strong online presence and assembling a team that not only supports his growth but truly aligns with his vision, in just a few years, his North Carolina practice is flourishing, attracting patients from all over the world.

Dr. Beck’s expertise lies in facial feminization surgery, a specialty he honed during his craniofacial fellowship training. Working with bone structures and facial features has become second nature to him, and his reputation in this field has patients traveling from across the country to see him.

He enjoys variety in his work, balancing his expertise in facial feminization surgery with facial rejuvenation procedures like facelifts and brow lifts, as well as breast and body cosmetic surgery.

Coming soon outside of Austin, Dr. Anil Kashyap is creating something unique—a luxury aesthetic experience where patients feel valued, comfortable, and supported. 

His vision goes beyond surgery; it’s about making people feel special. With a design concept of "compression and expansion," he’s building a space that reflects his commitment to both excellence and individuality.

Dr. Kashyap, born and raised in Canada, has had an unconventional journey in medicine. He began at NYU, excelling in dental school before completing a six-year oral and maxillofacial surgery program. Along the way, he earned his medical degree, trained in general surgery, and discovered his passion for reconstruction, leading him to plastic surgery.

He trained in plastic surgery in Tennessee, then specialized in microsurgery at Johns Hopkins. As a professor at the University of Oklahoma, he focused on breast cancer reconstruction and led the microsurgery program. While working part-time at the VA, he revived the head and neck reconstruction program, committed to providing veterans with the care they deserve.

These days, as a plastic surgeon, Dr. Kashyap focuses on more than just procedures. He wants every treatment to truly enhance his patients’ lives.

Patients from all but a few of the 50 states travel to see double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kristopher Hamwi in sunny Florida for his cutting-edge techniques, from awake liposuction to deep plane facelifts.

Unlike most surgeons who only address excess skin, Dr. Hamwi takes a full-picture approach to arm lifts. By combining liposuction with skin tightening, he sculpts, reduces volume, and enhances the lift, all under local anesthesia. Patients stay awake, swap stories with him, and walk out feeling like nothing happened.

With extra training in facial aesthetics, Dr. Hamwi is always refining his skills. He’s passionate about advanced techniques like deep plane facelifts, helping patients look as youthful as they feel.

Since many of his patients fly in from out of town, he ensures smooth recoveries by sending them home with PICO negative pressure dressings. These high-tech wound vacs speed up healing and improve results—because great surgery deserves great aftercare.

After years of seeing patients frustrated by ineffective treatments and wasting money on beauty products and treatments that don’t deliver, Dr. Jason Hall decided to set the record straight. 

To cut through the noise and expose the truth behind skincare scams, influencer marketing, and underqualified providers, he wrote his book The Art of Aging: Look Great, Not Fake.

Dr. Hall breaks down what actually works, what’s worth the investment, and how to make informed choices. He helps readers spot untrained providers, avoid overhyped trends, and build a skincare routine tailored to their biology—not just the latest fads.

Knowing that good skincare is the foundation of any anti-aging plan, he also includes a science-backed framework to guide readers toward real results.

His passion for education extends beyond the book. His podcast, The Trillium Show, has transformed the way he approaches consultations, with patients coming in better informed and ready for more productive discussions. 

For Dr. Hall, great results start with teamwork, which is why every first visit is about understanding a patient’s goals before anything else.
