About Dr. Neurohr:

Dr. Neurohr is an American Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has practiced in Dallas, Texas for over 25 years. He is dedicated to helping improve people’s lives through Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. Neurohr developed his interest in faces during his surgical training to treat cancers of the head and neck and immersed himself into the anatomical and surgical study of the region. The face is most challenging area to achieve surgical non-detectability; so, Dr. Neurohr further pursued his post-doctoral studies in facial aesthetic surgery with Dr. Bruce Connell at the Connell Clinic in Santa Ana, California. It was there that he realized he was adept at visualizing possible results for individual patients. If he could “see it,” his hands could make it happen.

Dr. Neurohr and his family moved back to Dallas, Texas in 1990 due to the frequent Southern California earthquakes. He has built an exceptional aesthetic plastic surgery practice exclusively by “word of mouth”. Dallas was a hot spot for developing facelift techniques in the 1990s and the term called “the Dallas look” was coined to describe the tight, pulled appearance of post-operative patients. These surgical techniques were designed to withstand extreme tension (the thought being that the tighter you could pull it, the longer it would last); however, surgical tension looks artificial in a facelift. Dr. Neurohr was well aware of this and avoided the trap. He developed an individualized SMAS facelift with fat grafting. Very few surgeons at the time believed that injectable fat grafts even worked, but Dr. Neurohr recognized how much of a natural improvement the technique produced in his patients. The quality of his results was unparalleled, and he quickly catapulted to the top tier of facial aesthetic surgeons in Dallas and in the state of Texas.

Dr. Neurohr constantly studies natural forms and shapes of living structures, always looking for applications which could further improve his surgical results. For instance, in the very unforgiving lower eyelid operation (blepharoplasty), he was one of the first to implement an array of stylized “canthopexy” procedures to preserve the inherent shape of the eye. He developed a “repair” operation that actually treated the lower eyelid fat bags like a hernia; therefore, restoring the proper spatial relationships of the lower eyelid and the cheek. He developed injectable fat grafting techniques which corrected the aging effects of “circles” under the lower eyelids. Dr. Neurohr was ahead of his time performing these avant-garde techniques.

As Dr. Neurohr became recognized for the quality of his work, he developed an international contingent of surgeons interested in understanding his ideas and methods, and was asked to lecture to plastic surgery groups in North America, Central America, and Europe about facelift techniques, eyelid surgery, surgical philosophy, and body contouring procedures. His expertise in identity preservation generates enthusiasm because it embodies the true art of plastic surgery. Dr. Neurohr has recently completed a chapter titled Avoiding Complication in Facelift Surgery in the textbook, Aesthetic Rejuvenation of the Face, published by Theime in May 2016.

Dr. Neurohr is devoted to his one and only wife of 39 years, Stephanie, and their eight children. He adeptly balances family responsibilities, his medical practice, and his personal health. His children and grandchildren help keep him young along with his deep faith, good nutrition, intense intermittent exercise, and the love of life. He operates a state-of-the-art surgical facility in friendly Dallas, TX certified by the AAAASF. There he personally consults with every patient, takes all his own photographs, and performs every detail of every surgical procedure, from the first marking to the very last stitch.

With the spread of COVID-19, CMMB is mounting an urgent defense to protect the vulnerable populations in the countries they serve


Working to save lives

In Zambia and other low-resource areas, supplies are desperately needed. Through in-country partners and our Medical Donations Program, CMMB is working to protect the safety of healthcare workers and stock facilities with lifesaving supplies and equipment essential to treat patients with COVID-19.

“The people there don’t realize what’s coming. I feel it’s a bit like the frog in the pot of slowly boiling water, completely carefree until it’s too late,” says Cassie Richens, a volunteer nurse with CMMB who recently returned from Mwandi, Zambia.

“I had enough cell service that I could constantly scroll the news. Every day, I watched as the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the world. However, the main thing I watched is how COVID-19 is creeping into Africa. When coronavirus does reach sub-Saharan Africa, where there are the world’s most fragile health systems, it could be completely devastating.”

Communities around Mwandi, like so many others, are extremely vulnerable. HIV is prevalent, malnutrition is a major concern. There are weakened immune systems everywhere. In Mwandi, there is only one small hospital, without an x-ray machine, and no ventilators. In the outer districts, further from the communities, are small clinics, within even less supplies.

“Right now, we are urgently looking to expand our partnerships to accelerate these lifesaving efforts, as they are needed now more than ever with the threat of COVID-19,” states Bruce Wilkinson, CEO of CMMB.

To educate the public on COVID-19 prevention and treatment, CMMB’s technical team is rapidly implementing new COVID-19 training for in-country healthcare workers. This training will ensure that all have a firm understanding of COVID-19 signs and symptoms as well as best practices and protocols for prevention, control, and mitigation.

In these low-resource settings, critical, lifesaving supplies, and equipment are lacking. Through in-country partners and a robust Medical Donations Program, CMMB is quickly working to stock health facilities with personal protection items and lifesaving supplies and equipment essential to treat patients with serious cases of COVID-19.

CMMB is working with their current partners and is reaching out to others to help provide essential medical supplies to healthcare workers and health facilities. Personal protective equipment, including face masks, gloves, gowns, face shield, goggles are a priority. Medical equipment, including ventilators and other respiratory support, generators and antiviral and antibiotic medications are critical.

If you would like to help, email cmmb at info@cmmb.org or visit their website at cmmb.org.

“We are doing everything in our power to sound the alarm of the storm that is looming,” says Wilkinson. “We are one human family, all brothers and sisters and if we don’t act now, if we don’t come together, there is no telling the toll this will take on these innocent lives.”

Concept Vehicle Company Makes Big Adjustments to Help During COVID-19 Crisis


Prefix team member, Steve Cummings volunteers to work the face-shield production line.

During times like these, we must all ask ourselves, how we can assist our community, help our neighbors, and make a positive difference for others.

“We can do this!” exclaimed Prefix Founder, Kim Zeile. Zeile, who founded the Rochester Hills based company over 40 years ago. “During times like these, we must all ask ourselves, how we can assist our community, help our neighbors, and make a positive difference for others.”

Prefix is one of the country’s most highly-regarded companies for the creation of prototypes, concept vehicles, and design mock-ups, but earlier this week they re-tooled, purchased over 6000lbs of required materials, and engineered a design for protective face shields. The shields are now being used by area first responders and heath care workers, and staff members at Prefix are working as fast as they can to meet the current demand.

The process requires, engineering, tooling, stamping, water-jet cutting and assembly. All capabilities found under one roof at Prefix. “The first responders we initially spoke with asked for something durable enough to be used for a longer period of time.” explained Zeile. “So… we engineered a model that is heavier duty, and longer lasting. Our team is proud of what we were able to design, in such a short time. Never in my 40 years of operating Prefix would I have believe that we would be involved in such a uncertain world. I am just happy to respond with something that helps our community, and helps our employees to realize what a difference we can make, regardless of the challenge.”

Prefix will continue to produce the shields as long as there is such a crucial demand, and they can obtain the required resources.

Happy Offers Extraordinary Emotional Support for Americans struggling with stress, anxiety or isolation due to the COVID19 Pandemic


News Image

If we want to truly contain the effects of this pandemic, we must also contain the outbreak of loneliness and emotional distress. Now more than ever, social distancing is making many people feel more alone and detached from their friends and family.

Happy the App, Inc. (“Happy”) announced that from April 1st-15th, Happy will offer two free emotional support sessions to anyone feeling lonely, isolated, or worried about the COVID-19 pandemic. All proceeds for the period will be donated to people affected by the pandemic.

“An epidemic of emotional unrest has reached every corner of American society, from Facebook to the paper products aisles of supermarkets,” said Jeremy Fischbach CEO & Founder of Happy. “If we want to truly contain the effects of this pandemic, we must also contain the outbreak of loneliness and emotional distress. Now more than ever, social distancing is making many people feel more alone and detached from their friends and family.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated the mental health epidemic Happy was founded to address: an epidemic of social isolation and loneliness that affects half of the U.S. population. Continued widespread “social distancing” in the months to come – coupled with increased levels of anxiety and stress – creates a recipe for people needing emotional support and someone to talk to during these trying moments. Happy’s national team of Support Givers is standing by, 24/7, to support individuals from the comfort of their own home.

California Treatment Center Leads Industry in Providing Safe and Sanitary Conditions During COVID-19 Outbreak


Hira Health Montecito

With over 2,200 confirmed cases in the state of California and 41 confirmed deaths, from the COVID-19 pandemic, California is quickly becoming one of the epicenters of the outbreak. As of Monday, state officials were issuing urgent warnings about the need for more hospital beds, and equipment as medical facilities begin to reach their capacity. During this crisis, Hira Health, a Los Angeles based Substance Abuse Treatment Center is leading the industry in combating the spread of the virus in its facilities, while helping other facilities do the same.

Dr. Abe Malkin, Medical Director at Hira Health, featured on NBC, Fox News says, “The biggest consensus is that it all comes down to testing, as early and as often as we are able. Taking the proactive approach to get tests on hand to get clients tested right away when there is a concern prospectively.” CEO of Hira Health, Nicholas Mathews, has taken an aggressive position in ensuring its clients and their families that the 6 Hira Health properties across the state are continuing to receive clients, while providing sanitary conditions.

Healthcare officials in California alone, say there is a need for over 50,000 hospital beds for the sick and infected.

As COVID-19 pandemic persists, there is also the silent pandemic of opioid abuse in America, which on average takes the lives of 130 people a day. Hira Health has repeatedly expressed its commitment to making its homes safe for clients who are suffering from drug and alcohol abuse, while setting the industry standard in combatting the spread of COVID-19 in treatment facilities.

Hira Health has been closely monitoring the CDC protocols related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The facility has implemented the following health procedures to ensure the safety of all clients and staff, while insisting that other facilities follow the same protocol.


  • All unnecessary visitors and non-client care staff have been postponed from coming into the facility, unless deemed absolutely necessary
  • Staff has been trained on infection control protocol such as proper hand washing and prevention methods to prepare for potential issues if the virus is to spread
