I am a Board Certified General Surgeon with a past trauma career who assists in plastic surgeries and spinal cord stimulator / spinal pain pump surgeries. I am also an Acupuncturist who injects Botox as an extension of Acupuncture. Many of my Botox point selections are related Acupuncture points for migraine headaches and wrinkle prevention. 40% of my clinical time is spent at work is spent on Acupuncture, and 50% of my time is spent with cosmetic injections for Botox, Fillers, and Veins, and 10% of my time is spent assisting in surgeries. In a usual clinic day, it is common for me to use over 200 units of Botox, 3 syringes of dermal fillers, and see more than 6 acupuncture patients. Outside of my clinical time, I also spend a great deal of time as an administrator of Surgical Artistry - the combined medical office for myself and my wife, Dr. Tammy Wu, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. We have been surgeons in Modesto since 2003. I am an author for MedicalSpaMD a resource for plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and aesthetic physicians. I'm also a member of the marketing department of the Cooperative of American Physicians based in Los Angeles. My hobbies include piano, violin, marathon running, creating websites and social media. HISTORY:
Established in 2006. I (Dr. Calvin Lee) came to Modesto in 2003 with the McHenry Medical group as a general surgeon. My wife, Dr. Tammy Wu was with Sutter Gould. In 2006 I obtained acupuncture training, and became very interested in medical modalities involving needles. It was that same year where I decided to join my wife, Dr. Tammy Wu, Modesto Plastic Surgeon in creating Surgical Artistry. BACKGROUND:
I was born in New York City, and went to school in the suburbs. I graduated top of my class in high school. This led to my acceptances to all the universities I've applied to which included Harvard, Stanford, and Brown Universities. I chose Ivy League Brown University, and there, I met my wife, Dr. Tammy Wu - Plastic Surgeon. We were both students at the time. We continued together onto medical school at Brown University, and Dr. Tammy Wu graduated top of her Ivy League medical school class. Turning down a job offer in San Diego, I found a wonderful career in Trauma/General surgery in Modesto, California instead. Modesto has a scarcity of medical specialists and I felt like I was very needed, appreciated, and welcomed. This was a very fulfilling feeling for me as a medical provider. We decided to call Modesto and Central Valley California our home. We eventually established Surgical Artistry combining my work with Dr. Tammy Wu, Modesto Plastic Surgeon.
