Care, Unscripted
We’re here to celebrate the people behind the practice. Meet the doctors making medicine feel deeply personal.
Psychiatrist
Dr. Ahmed Al-Katib
“Empathy is one of the strongest muscles.”
Dr. Al-Katib shapes his practice around a physical space designed for total comfort, complete with his intuitive therapy dog, Taz — the “vibe checker.” He approaches mental health through a holistic lens, balancing clinical care with sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle.

Optometrist
Dr. Sophia Visanji
“It’s about giving people a whole new vision for their life.”
Dr. Sophia — as she insists patients call her — wants people excited about their glasses. A longtime glasses-wearer with a passion for fashion, she brings infectious enthusiasm to her practice. She listens to patients' needs and designs her own eyewear line to meet them, driven by a simple belief: Treat patients like family.

Dentist
Dr. Franklyn Aguebor
“You can’t treat a patient like a procedure.”
Also a music producer, Dr. A shakes up dentistry with custom playlists and ceiling-mounted TVs to help patients relax. By trading clinical stiffness for a creative studio vibe, he makes the dental chair a place people want to be. Inspired by his Nigerian upbringing and family in healthcare, his practice is a daily opportunity to pay it forward.

Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Erin Nance
“The most important part of any visit is listening to the patient’s story”
Dr. Nance brings a relationship-first approach to orthopedic surgery, ensuring visits never feel rushed. As a mom and tennis player, she looks past the immediate injury to see how recovery fits a patient's routine, blending old-school trust with high-level surgical expertise.
