About admin
Dr. Buford,
As a sales manager in the Aesthetics market and working with Garth Fisher, M.D in Beverly Hills; I have seen and been exposed to marketing, sales, and how information is delivered to patients internally and externally.
It it very refreshing to see the level of involvement and education you provide to the community and consumer, along with other experts. I feel strongly and am very passionate about “patient education” providing knowledge and consumer confidence so patients understand their choices.
