QUOTES

“I'm always fascinated by the laws of physics, how the world works, how things work; and the blending of that artistry creativity with science and medicine and anatomy is plastic surgery. Nothing else comes as close.”  – Dr. Ashkan Ghavami

“I take every single patient seriously — whether it's like an A-list actress, a Grammy Award-winning person, a soccer mom, or someone who's just struggling to make payments — I treat them all the same. When I’m in the OR, that's my Zen moment.”   – Dr. Ashkan Ghavami
