From the very first conversation to long after surgery, Dr. Christopher Chang focuses on clarity, alignment, and trust. He believes great outcomes start with education—cutting through online noise, social media myths, and one-off anecdotes to help you understand what’s realistic for you.

Dr. Chang helps set expectations that hold up over time. He addresses common misconceptions—like how recovery fades from memory or how subtle, well-done work often goes unnoticed. In a world shaped by filters, edits, and AI-generated images, his strict policy against altered photos reflects a commitment to honesty.

Double board certified in plastic and facial plastic surgery, with specialized experience in facial surgery and pediatric reconstruction, he prioritizes precision over trends—no shortcuts, no pressure.

Based in Washington, DC, Dr. Chang serves a diverse community where discretion means different things to different people. Some choose to share their journey openly, others prefer privacy. His team respects both. 

Whether the goal is facial refinement, body contouring, or medically guided weight loss with GLP-1 medications, the focus stays the same: thoughtful care, clear communication, and results that feel natural and safe.

Since founding Westside Aesthetics in Los Angeles, Dr. Alexander Rivkin has earned a reputation as a pioneer in non-surgical aesthetics. Originally trained in ENT, he was drawn to the possibilities of injectables early in his career and has since become a leading authority on advanced non-surgical procedures.

Patients know him best for his signature treatment, the non-surgical rhinoplasty, which has become a trusted alternative for reshaping or even correcting surgical results without another operation. 

What makes him stand out, though, isn’t just innovation. It’s his honesty, approachable style, and focus on making every visit feel comfortable and stress-free.

At Westside Aesthetics, the vibe is warm and welcoming (therapy dogs included). His philosophy is simple: real expertise, straight talk, and treatments designed to help patients feel understood, supported, and at ease.

Dr. Stephanie Moss is a psychiatry resident with a passion for giving a voice to people who often go unheard. 

Treating military recruits and veterans facing trauma or seeking discharge for mental health reasons, her approach centers on creating a safe space where patients feel respected and understood. 

Stephanie’s own experiences—managing chronic health conditions, navigating an endometriosis diagnosis, and taking time off medical school—shaped her perspective on healthcare and the stigma surrounding mental health, especially in medicine.

Determined to break that stigma, she shares her story openly and amplifies others’ through her podcast, Life as a Patient-Doctor. By connecting the mind-body relationship in her practice, she helps patients see that their struggles don’t define them and that they are never alone.

Dr. Sarah Marino doesn’t just treat symptoms; she treats people. She transitioned from hospital medicine into direct primary care (DPC) so she could offer something too many patients go without: time, access, and transparency.

Her model guarantees next-day availability for urgent needs, HIPAA-compliant direct texting, and longer visits—an hour for the first, then 30 minutes each time after. It's membership-based care that feels personal, with a clear menu of services, no surprise lab bills, and prices lower than insurance. For her, it’s about putting the power back in patients’ hands.

The healthcare system is frustrating, inflated, and lacking in transparency, so she built something better. Her care is grounded in four pillars: nutrition, mental health, sleep, and movement. Medications come later, after she’s taken the time to really understand what’s going on.

Based in Dripping Springs, her mission is simple: to support longevity and well-being without turning into a prescription machine.

Dr. Ankeet Choxi is an interventional pain management physician focused on treating the root cause of pain, not just masking it. During his anesthesiology residency, he discovered his passion for helping people heal through less invasive, regenerative techniques.

Rather than relying on medications, Dr. Choxi takes a multimodal approach using targeted injections, PRP, stem cells, and exosomes to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair. He often combines these with physical therapy, shockwave, or hyperbaric oxygen to speed recovery and improve outcomes.

Patients travel from around the world to his South Florida clinic, where collaboration is at the heart of care. He works alongside Dr. Jarred Mait, who brings a background in integrative and functional medicine, to offer a truly root-cause, whole-body approach to pain management.
