A Conversation with Dr. Gill – Q & A
Why or how did you decide on a career in medicine? What about Aesthetics?
Growing up, I always had an interest in medicine by seeing my father, who is a Neurologist, feel immense gratitude for being able to treat patients and advocate for them. During medical school, I rotated on an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) service and fell in love with the combination of medicine and surgery and the variety of surgeries they perform. While in ENT residency, I rotated through our Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery service and knew this was the field I wanted to enter. I enjoyed performing these surgeries the most and loved instilling confidence in my patients after they feel better about how they look.
What do you find fulfilling about your work?
Being able to have in-depth discussions with patients about insecurities they have felt, sometimes for most of their life, and having a vulnerable conversation with them feels very fulfilling and allows me to build a deeper connection with my patients. It’s incredibly gratifying to be able to deliver the optimal results for my patients and witnessing their reactions and happiness. We are immensely lucky to build the trust of our patients and for them to allow us to operate on their face.
Anything personal you want to share about yourself that clients would find relatable?
As someone of South Asian descent, I understand the importance of maintaining ethnic and cultural identity during aesthetic treatments to the face, including ethnic rhinoplasty, and safely treating patients of all skin types. I model part-time for a local talent agency in Chicago, and so I also understand the importance of enhancing natural beauty and looking your best. I have 2 French Bulldogs named Bruce and Lazarus who love to play with each other and enjoy traveling, exercising, attending music concerts/festivals, and cooking.
Where do you conduct procedures? Can surgery be done at your practice?
We have a state-of-the-art facility located in the heart of Deerfield with the most advanced technology, and we also perform all of our surgeries in our in-house operating suite. This way patients do not have to travel to a separate hospital or surgery center for their procedure. The medspa side has beautiful rooms where we perform our injectables, lasers, facials, and microneedling procedures, among others. We also have 5 separate procedure rooms where we can conduct sterile procedures, and a separate, spacious operating room suite where we can conduct our bigger surgeries.
Describe your patient consults. How are yours different?
Ours are different because we offer consultations with a holistic approach that doesn’t just focus on meeting with one provider but with multiple, including both of our face experts – Dr. Gill and Dr. Tatch, and our Aesthetician Nicole. This way we can provide the full range of services and recommendations for our patients, both surgical and non-surgical.
