In this roundtable, local doctors share what drives them in practice, the lessons they\u2019ve learned from patients and the habits they believe make the biggest difference in long-term health. From prevention to emerging therapies, their insights offer a grounded look at where medicine is today and where it may be headed next.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What keeps you motivated\u00a0in your practice?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter 25 years, what stays with me is seeing patients recognize themselves again\u2014 their confidence returning, their energy shifting and a renewed excitement for life. Being trusted with that transformation still drives me.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Eric Khairalla, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon at b\u014ddze\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cFor over 25 years, I\u2019ve been helping patients with eyelid and facial rejuvenation. Patient success is always the driving force behind my passion to keep finding better ways to help my patients restore their confidence and a more youthful appearance.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Adam J. Scheiner, Laser Eyelid and Facial Cosmetic Surgeon at Adam Scheiner, MD\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the most rewarding part of your work right now?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an Oculoplastic Surgeon, being able to achieve natural refreshed results for our valued patients through the combination of cosmetic eyelid surgery, skin care, Botox and fillers is very rewarding!\u201d\u2013 Dr. William Mack, Oculoplastic and Facial Cosmetic Surgeon and Founder of The Mack Center\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s one lesson you\u2019ve learned from patients over the years?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, the lesson would be to try to stay humble. Patients often teach me things that doesn\u2019t fit my training or expectations. Listening carefully has shown me that lived experience can reveal truths medicine hasn\u2019t been fully explained yet.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Kenneth Pages, Board Certified Psychiatrist and Founder of TMS of South Tampa.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

What is one preventive habit you wish more patients practiced consistently?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish more patients used sunscreen because it\u2019s the single most effective anti-aging and skin-protective product available. Daily use helps prevent skin cancer, pigmentation, wrinkles, and premature aging.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Todd Besnoff, Medical Director of Ultimate Image Cosmetic Medical Center\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

What small daily change can have the biggest long-term health impact?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cConsistent exercise will have the biggest long-term impact on health. Start slow and work up, but be consistent!\u201d \u2013 Dr. Geoffrey M. Kwitko, Ophthalmologist and Founder of Kwitko.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

What trend in healthcare are you most optimistic about?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPlatelet-rich plasma. For the weekend athlete with a nagging injury, we use a concentrated sample of your own blood to ease pain and restore function, an alternative to surgery.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Kareem Qaisi, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Interventional Pain Medicine Physician at The Performance Lab.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe integration of cellular science, consciousness and personalized medicine has the potential to completely redefine human health.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Lisa Koche, Board-Certified Physician, Founder and Director of Spectra Wellness Solutions \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
