Summary
Our guest today is a plastic surgeon in the middle of his career. He is celebrating his financial security that has allowed him to take time to write a book. He spent the earlier part of his career saving, paying off his mortgage, and pouring money into his childrens 529 accounts. Education is hugely important to this doc and he wants to be sure his children have the opportunity to pursue any education at any institution they desire. Once those goals were met he wanted to create something inspiring and he wrote a book that he hopes will help both patients and doctors. After the interview will we will be talking about the debt dilemma for dentists.
