Orange County-based plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Jazayeri.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB)
May 27, 2020

A May 13 article on Cheat Sheet reports on soap opera star Jeanne Cooper of The Young and the Restless, who marked a TV milestone in 1984 when her character received a facelift. The article reports that the breakthrough moment was written for her TV character because the star had the procedure in real life, which included some work to her eyes and a chin tuck. Ms. Cooper spoke of the positive impact that the historic soap sequence had on both her life as well as for others looking into plastic surgery. By not only having the procedure but also showing it off on television, it opened up possibilities for viewers as well, the article reports. Orange County-based plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Jazayeri says the acceptance of cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery has certainly come a long way in the last few decades. He adds that Jeanne Cooper’s story is a good reminder that, however, an individual chooses to enhance their looks, it should always be the sole decision of the individual and celebrated as their choice, not stigmatized.

Now, more than ever, appearances can have a monumental impact on first impressions which in turn affect personal and professional opportunities, Dr. Jazayeri says. Whether it’s a profile picture on a dating app or a job interview, how a person looks makes a difference, whether or not people that is a good thing, says the doctor. The Orange County plastic surgeon adds that, because so many social interactions are occurring online via video conferencing platforms, people are noticing unflattering details they never noticed before through the small, mirrored box reflecting their image back at themselves during calls. Dr. Jazayeri says it’s becoming increasingly common for everyday individuals to look into cosmetic procedures or plastic surgery such as rhinoplasty or eyelifts to ensure that they are always presenting the best version of themselves and consequently giving themselves the best possible chance of achieving success in all aspects of their lives.

Dr. Jazayeri notes that, in terms of both safety and outcomes, it is important for individuals interested in having a procedure to ensure that their physician is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Like Dr. Jazayeri, these plastic surgeons will not only be able to ensure that the patient receives flattering work, but also that the procedure will be completed to the safest and highest medical standards. Unlike other types of practitioners, board-certified plastic surgeons undergo an additional two years of training in the field as well as having their qualifications vetted by top medical officials.

Readers interested in learning more about cosmetic procedures and plastic surgeries with Dr. Michael Jazayeri can call his offices at (714) 834-0101 or visit his website at https://drjaz.com.

We are seeing an increased need to deliver projects that enable growth, support the introduction of new technologies, and meet dynamic demands from our clients and the communities they serve.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
May 27, 2020

Modern Healthcare has once again recognized the firm as the leading construction management company for healthcare facilities — a distinction Turner has earned for 20 years.

“More than ever before, creating world-class healing environments is a serious responsibility. It is a responsibility we do not take for granted,” said Randy Keiser, vice president and director of Turner’s National Healthcare Group. “We are grateful to our respected clients who continue to put their trust in us.”

Today’s healthcare needs also bring about a new kind of “rapid response” by builders. Turner was recently called upon to build space to deliver urgent patient care in 20 communities across the United States in response to COVID-19. The efforts resulted in the availability of 4,000 patient care beds in a matter of weeks including a temporary hospital for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Stony Brook University in New York. “At Stony Brook, we built a 1,038 bed facility and its associated mechanical and electrical equipment in 24 days,” said Keiser. “The coordination and mobilization by everyone involved to design and build that project was remarkable.

During 2019, Turner completed projects in major cities and in rural communities across the United States. The projects ranged in size from billion dollar programs to renovations that adapted space to meet the individual needs of clients. “We are seeing an increased need to deliver projects that enable growth, support the introduction of new technologies, and meet dynamic demands from our clients and the communities they serve,” said Keiser.

“Construction Management firms are required to have extensive, broad knowledge and experience to meet the unique demands of building in the healthcare environment. They also need to lead efforts in budgeting, supply chains, and technology to be effective,” said Keiser.

“We work on highly collaborative teams to complete complex projects. One such project was retrofitting space within a healthcare environment to house a pioneering Cell Processing Facility for the University of Chicago Medicine and Biological Sciences,” said Keiser. “Our healthcare and manufacturing experience was called into one project.”

“We are honored to leverage our experience and expertise to help create successful projects, that cater to the needs of our most vulnerable citizens, and also consider the environment of care for our front line workers,” continued Keiser.

Turner Construction Company delivers its services on more than 277 healthcare projects a year. In 2019 alone, Turner completed $3.7 billion of healthcare construction for clients in 23 states. Turner’s breadth and depth of experience has earned the company its reputation as a trusted, go-to builder for leading hospital systems and hospitals, clinics, specialty facilities, and medical office building clients.

Turner is a North America-based, international construction services company. Founded in 1902, Turner first made its mark on the industry pioneering the use of steel-reinforced concrete for general building, which enabled the company to deliver safer, stronger, and more efficient buildings to clients.

With an annual construction volume of $13 billion, Turner is the largest builder in the United States, ranking first in the major market segments of the building construction field, including healthcare, education, sports, commercial, and green building. The firm is a subsidiary of HOCHTIEF, one of the world’s leading international construction service providers. For more information, please visit http://www.turnerconstruction.com

We are extremely excited about our new “Fountain of Youth Infusion” therapy that uses Ketamine and NAD together, as it has provided positive results for virtually all our patients that have tried it, says Dr. Mahjoubi.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
May 27, 2020

The Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles is located at 1762 Westwood Boulevard, Suite 320 in Los Angeles, California, and is owned by Dr. David Mahjoubi, MD. As a highly-trained, board-certified Anesthesiologist, Dr. Mahjoubi is uniquely qualified to administer intravenous Ketamine and NAD infusion therapy to treat the symptoms of chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, and decreased mental clarity. Ketamine is also very effective in treating neuropathic chronic pain conditions such as CRPS. The new “Fountain of Youth Infusion” that is now being offered at the Ketamine Healing Clinic provides a beneficial blend of Ketamine and NAD. Ketamine is a medication utilized as an anesthetic and produces relief on various levels and can be used to treat mental health issues and pain. NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is found in every cell of your body and decreases as one ages. Increasing NAD levels can help improve concentration, mental clarity, memory and focus, as well as increase energy. This new combination treatment therapy option and the other services offered at the Ketamine Healing Clinic are specifically tailored to each patient. The innovative treatment therapies offered at the Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles can help alleviate suffering for many patients dealing with various chronic conditions and help them get their “zest for life” back.

“We are extremely excited about our new “Fountain of Youth Infusion” therapy that uses Ketamine and NAD together, as it has provided positive results for virtually all our patients that have tried it,” says Dr. Mahjoubi.

More About Dr. David Mahjoubi of the Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles:

David Mahjoubi, M.D. is a diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology. He earned his medical degree from The Chicago Medical School and completed his internship at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center. Dr. Mahjoubi carries over a decade of experience with intravenous Ketamine, beginning from his residency training at the University of Southern California (USC) and Los Angeles County Medical Center. He is the author of multiple publications in the medical field and holds high honors from his educational years. Following his residency, Dr. Mahjoubi joined the Anesthesia Group at Northridge Hospital Medical Center and became the most active user of IV ketamine for both conscious sedation and general anesthesia cases. After working at surgical centers throughout Southern California, he quickly noted the beneficial mental health effects of IV ketamine in many patients post-procedurally. Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles was thus founded, and now provides a highly effective treatment for patients with treatment-resistant depression, other mental health issues and chronic pain.
