PHILOSOPHY
Whether it is the finesse of rhinoplasty to achieve a refined nose contour for an aspiring model or the extensive reconstructive work on cancer patients to optimally restore form and function, facial plastic surgery merges science and art in some of the most fulfilling and stimulating ways.
Philanthropy
Dr. Sedgh’s belief in giving back prompted his involvement with the Walk the Walk Women’s Shoe Drive aspired by his office manager who as a single mother understands the struggles of motherhood, and a women’s plight in the modern world. Jacob Sedgh states of the shoe drive, “In an industry that’s often viewed as being frivolous, I feel compelled to give back. That’s why we’re asking our patients, friends, and people in the community to go into their closets and find a pair of shoes to donate and make a difference in a mother’s life. We want to spread the word and involve as many people as possible to participate in this cause.”
While a variety of organizations collect clothing and coats for people in need, many families, in particular women and children, lack proper footwear. The Walk the Walk charity is unique by focusing exclusively on shoes, especially shoes for mothers.
Walk the Walk is symbolic of mothers everywhere who work hard, lead by example, and pave the way for the future,” says Dr. Sedgh. “Only a mother truly knows what it’s like to walk in a mother’s shoes.”
