Stephanie Shorr Interviews Dr Monica Gill

Welcome to the “Live the Health You Want” podcast, where we interview thought leaders and review resources to improve health and vitality and increase our longevity. I’m thrilled to have this conversation with Dr. Monica Gill from her plastic surgery and wellness center in West Palm Beach, Pulsar Health. Take note, south Floridians and visitors - She’s a tremendously valuable resource for us! Dr. Gill recommends “ beauty built on health “ - I love that; it makes so much sense! Dr. Gill is a double board-certified plastic surgeon who is fellowship-trained in cranio-facial surgery. When I first met her, I was impressed with her deep respect and caring for each individual client. She finds the best possible preventative and therapeutic interventions for them, and pushes the envelope to optimize surgical and aesthetic results. She wants each of us to live a full life based on healthy vitality and to enjoy our beauty. She believes in maximizing health and performance in life using preventative therapeutics and complementary health techniques to work in concert with allopathic medicine. Dr. Gill trained in some of the world’s best surgical and scientific institutions. Although born in New Delhi, capital of India, she grew up in London, UK. She attended medical school and did basic surgical training in England to become a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. She then did years of scientific research at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD, and earned a Master of Science in Biotechnology from Johns Hopkins University. Re-entering clinical work, she did her general surgery residency at the prestigious University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, to become a board-certified general surgeon, training as a Plastic Surgeon at Vanderbilt University. She’s had the opportunity to train with some of the world’s best cosmetic plastic surgeons including the renowned Dr. Patrick Maxwell (breast surgeon). She went on to train in the world-famous craniofacial training program at University of California Los Angeles. Dr. Gill specialized in children’s craniofacial surgery and worked at Arkansas Children’s Hospital as well as the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. On moving to California, she was recruited to perform facial surgeries for gender affirmation as well as “tops” surgeries at Kaiser Permanente. Her belief in giving everyone an opportunity to be their best self extends to overseas volunteer work. She has been to Guatemala and Egypt so far to operate on children and adults with craniofacial anomalies, burns, and other plastic surgery challenges. She has her private practice in West Palm Beach, Florida, where she provides plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery for adults and children. She also performs aesthetic procedures, staying up-to-date with the latest techniques such as threads and platelet-rich plasma/platelet rich fibrin treatments.
