Spend good, dedicated, focused time with them, and then don’t feel guilty after that when you have to go to work.” — Marcus “The earlier and sooner you find clarity in what you want, life becomes so much easier. Because you don’t feel bad saying no to stuff and you don’t have FOMO.” — Marcus “I believe jaw surgery in private practice is going to be the next trend. Whatever I can do to make this more approachable and palatable for people is my passion.” — Marcus Questions: Brendan: "Wait, you said every day you're on facial trauma?
