Oscar A. Aguirre, MD is a fellowship-trained urogynecologist who has dedicated his entire surgical career to the

evaluation and management of vaginal relaxation and bladder/bowel disorders. Since early in his career Dr.

Aguirre has performed cosmetic gynecological procedures at the request of his urogynecologic patients. In 2006,

he formally pursued his interest in the field of Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery (FGCS) under the supervision

of world-renowned gynecologist, Dr. David Matlock of Beverly Hills. Dr. Matlock is the pioneer and developer

of Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation ® (LVR ® ) and Laser Reduction Labiaplasty. With this additional training Dr.

Aguirre became the third urogynecologist in the country to perform LVR ® .

Dr. Aguirre's research interests have included all urogynecologic and women's health issues, including female

sexual dysfunction. He has published research on a testosterone patch for low libido and was a principal

investigator of a new investigational oral medication for the treatment of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

(HSDD). As a recognized expert in the field of female sexual medicine, he is ideally suited to address the

complex issues that revolve around women's sexual health.

Dr. Aguirre is a preeminent pelvic surgeon who has been providing urogynecologic care for more than 15 years

and is an expert in addressing both women's functional and aesthetic concerns. Women who have concerns with

the appearance of their vulvar or vaginal function should seek out the care of an experienced urogynecologic

specialist, as they are best suited to identify and treat the underlying problem. Dr. Aguirre has two extra years of

training in vaginal and pelvic floor surgery compared to most other gynecologists who perform vaginal

rejuvenation. Likewise, most plastic surgeons have had little, if any, vaginal surgery training. As an associate of

the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of America, Dr. Aguirre is trained to perform his procedures with the

same techniques and skills pioneered by Dr. David Matlock, with his own touch based on his broad background

in pelvic reconstructive surgery..

PCEO 2020

Shaun Brierly, MD founded Copper Eye Surgery, Corp. in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area to provide his patients with a cataract surgery

experience unfettered by third party restrictions. Having performed many thousands of cataract surgeries over the last two decades, Dr.

Brierly understands that people come from diverse backgrounds, with unique lifestyles and desires that shape their vision goals and surgical

expectations. He empathizes with the frustration his patients express when private and government health care delivery systems fail to meet

expectations or erect barriers to care. Realizing that physician care options are limited by third party payer rules, Dr. Brierly decided to opt

out of all insurance contracts, including Medicare, in order to provide a highly customized experience for the private pay patient. This lack of

insurance payer restriction enables him to perform "dropless" bilateral same day surgery for patients suffering from cataracts who have

difficulty interrupting work and recreation schedules for sequential surgeries separated by weeks or months. Additionally, Dr. Brierly's

practice model allows for the extra time required to examine and communicate with neurologically atypical patients, as well as those suffering

from cognitive or communicative disorders such as aphasia and dementia. He enjoys performing complex cataract surgery, whether the

complexity arises from eye disease or from overall patient uniqueness.

Initially planning a research career in marine biology, Dr. Brierly fortunately switched gears and enrolled in University of California, Davis

Medical School after graduating summa cum laude from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Receiving his M.D. degree

in 1999, he then completed an Internal Medicine internship at the Providence St. Vincent Hospital in Portland, Oregon before returning to

the very busy University of California, Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, CA for Ophthalmology Residency, where he was Chief Resident.

Dr. Brierly's publication record has been impactful in his field, with one of his papers as primary author receiving triple digit citations to date,

and a book chapter in a history of corneal transplantation recently republished in a second edition. Named "Top Doctor - Ophthalmology"

by Sonoma Magazine in 2019, Dr. Brierly served as Chief of Ophthalmology at Santa Rosa Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, responsible

for a department of 57 full time staff, including Retina, Cornea, Glaucoma, Pediatric/Strabismus, and Comprehensive Eye Surgeons, as well

as 13 Optometrists. He was the Northern California regional Ophthalmology/Optometry liaison coordinating eye care for patients in Skilled

Nursing Facilities, and was a voting member of the Medical Executive Committee from 2017-2019. Practicing for over 16 years at the

Sonoma County wine country branch of a very large San Francisco Bay Area physician group, Dr. Brierly honed his skills to the point that he

enjoys challenging and difficult cataract referrals from fellow surgeons. This joy of challenge, coupled with a desire to serve, led Dr. Brierly to

direct commission in 2013 as an officer in the United States Army Reserve Medical Corps. He has deployed to Iraq and served as the

Ophthalmologist responsible for our coalition forces in five Middle East countries. As his leadership and administrative responsibilities grew,

Dr. Brierly increasingly appreciated a national disconnect between patient desires and the insurance determined surgical care ultimately

available to them. To Dr. Brierly, this disconnect represented an opportunity that led him to retire early from The Permanente Medical

Group and form Copper Eye Surgery, Corp. in order to offer patients an unprecedented level of control over their own cataract removals.

Born in Iowa, Dr. Brierly spent his early primary school years around Sioux Falls, South Dakota before his family relocated to Northern

California in 1978. From age 10, when child labor was both legal and expected, he had a paper route until he could get a work permit at age

13. Working at a local family owned grocery store, he was able to buy his first car at 16. Yes, it had an 8 track player. From then on, Dr.

Brierly has loved exploring the open road. Whether surfing up and down the Pacific Coast Highway as a teenager, or hitting Tombstone,

Carlsbad Caverns and Death Valley in July heat for a family road trip, he loves experiencing the beauty this world has to offer. More recently,

he has started dirt bike trail riding with his children. In 2008, Dr. Brierly started modifying and competitively overclocking computers under

liquid nitrogen. In 2011, his two-man team placed 2nd in North America, qualifying them to represent the USA in the Masters of

Overclocking Arena in Taipei, Taiwan. At one point in 2011, Dr. Brierly was the 3rd ranked amateur Extreme Overclocker in the world.

Married for 23 years to his wonderful wife, Mary, Dr. Brierly has a daughter and son attending college in Indiana and Iowa, another teenage

son with a great sense of humor, a Labrador retriever, and two cats. He and his family are thrilled to be in Arizona providing premium

personalized cataract surgery to locals and snowbirds from all over North America.

Lisa Hunsicker is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has been practicing her "art" since 1995. Dr. Hunsicker decided

to pursue the specialty of plastic surgery in Denver specifically because she is committed to helping those in her care be

their most confident and positive selves.

She articulates Revalla's mission by saying, "I'm dedicated to providing a personalized and caring approach, so that I can

deliver exceptional results, tailored to meet each patient's individual needs."

From the time she was an undergrad, she has always been interested in opening her own practice where she could create

an intimate and caring environment to cater to each individual's personal needs and goals. Dr. Hunsicker has built

Revalla to offer this compassionate environment, where patients can feel comfortable and get the results they are looking

for.

Dr. Hunsicker has been practicing medicine since 1995, and she opened Revalla as her solo practice in Littleton

Colorado in 2001. She earned her medical degree from the University of Texas at Houston before moving on to her

General Surgery training at the University of Colorado/Denver.

Dr. Hunsicker then returned to Texas to complete her residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University

of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Missing the beautiful Rocky Mountains, she returned to Colorado to open

Revalla Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, where she could engage in the art and practice of cosmetic and

reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Hunsicker is highly skilled in the latest plastic surgery techniques and specializes in breast and body contouring

surgeries. She has spent time on the faculty of Sound Surgical Technologies, instructing other surgeons on the advanced

surgical techniques offered by Vaser LipoSelection.

She is one of an elite few surgeons in the country to perform the direct-to-implant breast reconstruction technique,

which offers women the opportunity to have their reconstruction performed at the time of mastectomy. This procedure

reduces the number of surgeries necessary for full reconstruction after mastectomy surgery. Dr. Hunsicker believes a

team approach to cancer care, with clear communication and collaboration, is the key to more surgeons offering this

innovative single-stage reconstruction technique.

Dr. Lisa Hunsicker is a strong advocate for women's health issues and enjoys giving back to underserved communities.

In addition to volunteering at health fairs, such as Tri for the Cure and at other local events, she has traveled many times

to countries like El Salvador and Peru to perform reconstructive surgery on children and adults.

in business training that needs to be addressed in preparation for the next phase of my career.

After listening to Dr Guy Kezirian speak about PHYSICIAN CEO on a podcast recently especially referring to the

quality of the involved professors, I think this is the program I have been looking for to be the leader I need to be.
