The break from the public eye was put to good use, nonetheless, and Ms. D has now come back as the face of The Medical City’s (TMC) Center for Wellness and Aesthetics.

“Ms. D is very cooperative and a good listener. She also asks intelligent questions and does her own research,” says Dr. Balburias.  “That makes our partnership as doctor and patient much more effective, and that dynamic is what our Center, and TMC as a whole, is all about. We as experts are here to guide our patients, empowering them to make their own, intelligent decisions so that they can achieve optimum health for themselves.”

Ms. D agrees with TMC’s unique patient partnership philosophy, saying, “I liked the idea of working with a team of board certified physicians who actually discussed my situation with me in detail. They didn’t just tell me what to do. I also appreciated TMC’s  holistic approach to health. They analyzed my skin, my weight, my diet, my exercise regimen, my bone structure, and how all these related to my age.”
