Episode 1: The Beginning of Elevé Cosmetic Surgery

In the first ever episode of the Dr. Level Up Podcast, Dr. Gevork Tatarian sits down with his wife and fellow physician, Dr. Sheina Bawa-Tatarian, for an honest and personal conversation about taking the leap from working for others to building their own cosmetic surgery practice, Eleve Cosmetic Surgery. During the move into the new Ft. Lauderdale location, they discuss the challenges of leaving behind the security of an established practice, the frustrations that motivated them to become independent, and the mindset it takes to embrace uncertainty and create your own path. They also pull back the curtain on the demanding and highly competitive world of medical training, exploring the hierarchy of medical school and surgical residency, the pressure placed on young physicians, and how years of being taught to follow the system can shape the way doctors think.
