    The Silent Thief - Dr. Amir Marvasti - Ophthalmologist and Refractive Surgeon #304

    Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Bridging Two Worlds: Dr. Amir Marvasti on Purpose, Humanizing Eye Care, and Legacy Host Savia Rocks opens Season 7 of the Us People Podcast with a focus on creativity, shedding cultural trauma, finding purpose, and leaving a legacy that benefits humanity. She interviews Dr. Amir Marvasti, an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon, who shares his background of being born in Texas, raised in Iran until age 18, and then immigrating to the U.S. to rebuild his life in California describing how living between Eastern and Western cultures shaped his identity.  Amir explains the contrasting influences of his parents: his father (also an ophthalmologist) modeled discipline, hard work, and goal-driven sacrifice, while his mother modeled a different kind of sacrifice centered on family, along with openness, emotion, and adaptability; he describes himself as a bridge carrying both energies.  He discusses defining himself beyond titles, emphasizing that doctors are human, and says his fulfillment comes from helping others especially opening doors for people who were told they could not succeed while connection is central to his sense of purpose and how he evaluates himself when he ‘looks in the mirror.’  On peace, Amir frames it as accepting what is out of his control while doing his best with what is within his control.  00:00 Meet Savia Rocks + The Legacy Mindset (Season 7 Teaser) 01:10 Welcome to Season 7: Introducing Dr. Amir Marvasti (Ophthalmologist) 03:06 Amir’s Origin Story: Growing Up Between Iran & the U.S. 04:53 Parents, Sacrifice & Identity: Discipline vs Openness 08:25 Mirror Question: Purpose, Fulfillment & Being More Than a Title 14:52 Connection, Grief & Hard Conversations After Losing His Mother 15:58 A Day in the Life of an Ophthalmologist: Humanizing Vision Care 21:08 Silent Eye Diseases & Elective Surgery: Glaucoma, Checkups, LASIK 22:53 Why Ophthalmology?
