January | 2014 | Botox in Modesto / Calvin Lee, MD

written by Calvin Lee, MD

I have a degree from Brown University in Neurosciences.
I have a medical degree from Brown University.
I am a Board Certified General Surgeon
I am an acupuncturist
I am a violinist
I also play the piano to help develop my dexterity and artistry
My main focus now is minimally invasive type procedures done with needles such as Vein Sclerotherapy, Acupuncture, Botox and Dermal Fillers in our office in Modesto – Surgical Artistry.

I founded Surgical Artistry with my wife in 2006.
I have participated in cosmetic surgeries by assisting my wife (Dr. Tammy Wu) in plastic surgeries since 2006. I mainly assist with almost all tummy tucks and face lifts which are done by Dr. Tammy Wu, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Modesto.
Dr. Tammy Wu gave me my initial certification to inject Botox, via instruction, guidance, and critique. The certification was approved by California’s Cooperative of American Physicians. I have since developed my own style of injections. This was not required for me. But something I wanted to do.
I started officially injecting Botox in the year 2008 with approval from the Cooperative of American Physicians. I had to submit my trial cases of Botox and get a letter of recommendation.
Eventually, I became a speaker for the Allergan company (makers of Latisse, Botox, and Juvederm)
I have participated actively in learning all I can about the rest of the world’s knowledge about Botox at the Las Vegas Cosmetic Surgery meeting in 2013.
I have also received personal tips from one of the original injectors of Botox and Dermal Fillers, Dr. Steve Yoelin in 2013. I attended one of his lectures in 2013 and have kept in touch due to his kindness and generosity.

I wrote a separate website here with even more details on my Modesto Botox practice statistics for 2013
724 Botox patient visits in 2013.
374 Different patients seen for Botox in 2013.
I definitely hope to continue to grow and I am very thankful to those who trust me with their cosmetic Botox injections.
For fun, I queried our database for the number of Botox visits I had in 2008 when I first officially started with Botox injections (May – after getting a self imposed formal certification to perform the procedure). I had 103 Botox patient visits in the year of 2008. In contrast, 724 patient visits for Botox for 2013 is a nice improvement.
