I got this question today via social media.<\/p>\n

The quick answer as of today (11\/5\/18) is about 12 years.<\/p>\n

I guess it’s a question regarding my experience.\u00a0 I now see about 200+ patients per month for Botox<\/a> injections in my Modesto office: Surgical Artistry.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s sort of a timeline for my life in Modesto<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2001:\u00a0 Interviewed in Modesto and accepted job with the McHenry Medical Group<\/a> as trauma and general surgeon<\/p>\n

2003:\u00a0 Started my surgery career in Modesto.\u00a0 I actually had my first job Modesto as a surgeon was with the Sutter-Gould Medical Group<\/a> affiliated with Memorial Hospital.\u00a0 I worked there for a few weeks to help fill in for a surgeon who had to leave suddenly for his military duties.<\/p>\n

2003:\u00a0 Started with the McHenry Medical Group as trauma and general surgeon<\/p>\n

2006:\u00a0 Started Surgical Artistry with Dr. Tammy Wu, Plastic Surgeon.\u00a0 Went to obtain more education in Acupuncture<\/a>.\u00a0 Plastic Surgery<\/a> was our big focus for Surgical Artistry.<\/p>\n

2006:\u00a0 Started practicing acupuncture and started doing Botox.\u00a0 I had a slow start.\u00a0 It seemed to be about 1-3 patients per week even for Botox and acupuncture.\u00a0 I continued doing General Surgery till about the year 2010.\u00a0 But starting in 2006, I started assisting in the world of pain pumps and stimulator spine implants which I still do today.<\/p>\n

2013:\u00a0 Reached platinum level for Botox injections and Filler injections<\/a> with the Allergan company<\/a>.\u00a0 This is based on amount of Botox purchased from Allergan.<\/p>\n

2014:\u00a0 Reached platinum plus level for Botox and Filler injections.<\/p>\n

2015:\u00a0 Selected as one of the first surgeon injectors of Kybella<\/a> – a injectable product to help dissolve the double chin.<\/p>\n

2016:\u00a0 Reached Diamond level for Botox and Filler injections.\u00a0 At the time, this seemed to be the highest level there was for Botox purchased from Allergan in the USA.<\/p>\n

2017:\u00a0 I was honored by being awarded the Top 25 most loved injectors in the USA by RealSelf.com<\/a>.\u00a0 I got a featured advertisement in Glamour magazine.<\/p>\n

2017:\u00a0 Reached the Top 500<\/strong> level for Botox injections \/ Filler implantations.\u00a0 This was a level that I didn’t know existed till I got the award.\u00a0 It comes with certain benefits like a priority customer service telephone number.<\/p>\n

2018:\u00a0 Started doing thread-lifting which I also call Suture-Lifting.<\/p>\n

2018:\u00a0 Maintained Top 500<\/strong> level for Botox injections (and other Allergan products).\u00a0 At this point, I realize that I started by seeing about 4 Botox patients per month in 2006 and now I have the privilege of seeing over 200 Botox patients per month.<\/p>\n

I still have much more to improve regarding my skills, communication, and results.\u00a0 Thank you everyone for trusting me with your injections.<\/p>\n
