We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Rahi Sarbaziha and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Rahi, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Starting my own business was a natural extension of my passion for Integrative and Aesthetic medicine. I wanted to create a space where these two worlds could come together and provide a holistic approach to wellness. Additionally, I have a creative side that I love to express through the procedures that I perform and marketing and branding. Running a business is very fulfilling for me.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

The idea for my business came from several different experiences and realizations, such as dissatisfaction with the traditional medical system’s focus on disease treatment instead of prevention and wellness. Aesthetics has also always been of interest to me, and I wanted to create a career that would make me feel happy and fulfilled.

The most important factor behind my success and the success of my brand is my vision, determination, and goal-oriented mindset. I stay focused on my goals and am not afraid to take risks or pivot when necessary to achieve them. The most important lesson my business and career have taught me is that human interaction is the most important part of running a medical practice. Patients need to feel seen, heard, and cared for, and building relationships with them is key to a successful practice.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

If my best friend were visiting LA, I would want to ensure they have a healthy and active experience.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout to the women and girls of Iran who are courageously fighting for basic human rights. Despite facing significant challenges, these women and girls continue to strive for freedom and equality. In Iran, women are often treated as second-class citizens and are compelled to adhere to strict Islamic attire, irrespective of their religious beliefs or personal convictions. While there have been some positive changes, it is crucial that we continue to show our support until they are finally able to express themselves fully and enjoy the rights they deserve.
