As I write this, I am in my office on Saturday, February 9, 2013. A big snowstorm overnight has put the city in a panic. It never occurred to me not to come in. I am a doctor, a Plastic Surgeon, and I work virtually every Saturday. I have consults, preops, post op patients and return visits who count on me. I would have walked here if need be.

Most of my staff at Yager Esthetics also made it in. They are dedicated, and of good character. We are on a mission to serve the Hispanic community, and love what we do. The sidewalk has been shoveled and salted, and the first patient has arrived.

The phone has been ringing nonstop. Some patients just want to be sure we are open, others are rescheduling. We have a pool going as to the number of people we will see. Our Patient Coordinators are already busy with surgical scheduling.

It made me think, why would you not come? As long as the trains and buses are running, and the roads are clear, what else would you do today? Although it is cold and white outside, it is getting close to Spring. Let nothing stand in the way of your bikini summer. Make the effort and reap the rewards.
