As a dermatology resident, I thought I had seen it all — until this mentorship. Shadowing Dr. Kormeili gave me exposure to the private practice side of dermatology and aesthetic medicine that residency doesn’t cover. Her approach to patient care and business strategy was eye-opening and inspiring."
