And be thoroughly entertained by anecdotes of outrageous requests—erasing fingerprints, removing earlobes, and making someone look exactly like a certain celebrity.
Learn about the doctors' heritage, families, world travels, interests, and what excites them. Find out who flocks to water for surfing, sailing, fishing, and swimming; who's the mother of twins; who can't get enough of airplanes and classic cars; who coaches his son's baseball team; and even who rides a unicycle. Art, classical architecture, music, gardening, interior design, food, wine, fashion—the list of passions goes on and on. Discover how these cultural interests, experiences, and world-views weave their way into the doctors' fascinating philosophies on beauty.
