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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Meet The Doctor is a production of The Axis.
Made with love in Austin, Texas.

For Dr. Shannon Kuruvilla, building long-term relationships and making patients feel comfortable and heard is at the heart of her practice. 

As a mom of two, she connects deeply with mommy makeover patients—she gets it. From breast augmentation to labiaplasty, she loves helping moms feel confident again. She’s also passionate about body contouring for patients who have lost significant weight and are ready for that final step to fully enjoy their transformation.

Beyond aesthetics, Dr. Kuruvilla improves the lives of migraine sufferers through migraine surgery, offering trigger site decompression. She discovered her passion for it during residency and has seen firsthand how life-changing it can be.

After six years of in-depth training at the University of Virginia, she’s back in her hometown of Houston, Texas, as a member of the team at Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery.

Women from across the country seek Dr. Danielle Dumestre out—whether discovering her on TikTok or through doctor referral — for her expertise in complex breast reconstruction. 

She helps women navigate options to achieve their aesthetic goals after breast cancer, often using staged DIEP flap reconstruction to restore volume.

Originally from Canada, Dr. Dumestre came to the U.S. for a breast microsurgery fellowship in Dallas. She later returned home for an academic role but missed the sunshine and joined Dr. Christine Fisher’s all-female practice in Austin, specializing in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Her approach is all about education, helping women understand their choices, timelines, and what’s best for them. 

She’s also passionate about aesthetics, particularly when it overlaps with reconstruction, often using lifts, reductions, and/or implants to correct asymmetry and tuberous breasts.
