That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake. -Mahatma Gandhi
Last month, Dr. Jeffrey Watson, colleague and close friend of Dr. Cassarella, took part in his 4th annual trip to Guatemala with the F.I.N.N. Foundation team. During his time in Guatemala, Dr. Watson was able to provide care to those who need it most but are in circumstances that allow no access to the highly specialized care that is required. Over the course of several years, this team has performed close to 200 surgeries, profoundly impacting the lives of each patient. This year, his team screened and provided treatment for patients with cleft lip and palate as well as victims of domestic violence (see images below). In a week full of long days, they changed the course of countless futures by using their skills in a powerful way. We are so proud to share the stories of those like Dr. Watson who utilize rare skills, education and talents to touch those who need it most. Dr. Jeffrey Watson is in private practice as a facial plastic surgeon in Carlsbad, California.
