Gilded Palm Aesthetic Spa

My path in medicine has been a convoluted one. From U.S. Naval flight surgery in the Persian Gulf, to medical training at Harvard, to anesthesia in Miami, one thing has remained constant: my ardor for aesthetics and beauty. My course in medicine has always been procedurally based, so aesthetics follows naturally. I began as a medispa patient in my mid-20s and always wanted to open my own spa. Mentors advised me that my talents “would be wasted” in a med spa, but I came to realize that my talents would only be amplified by my passion—a passion for aesthetics. As such, Gilded Palm came to be.
