Dr. Teo Soleymani

And you would know if you have the genetics already, you, Mom had it. Mom's mom had it. Mom's sister had it. You're like, okay, there's something there. I haven't tested the gene for it yet, but I know my family lineage has it. There's melanoma has two or three genes that are really important like that. And then basal cell has another genetic group that's like that.

But aside from that, when we talk about family history, it's a whole myriad, 200 plus genes that are implicated in this that are passed down in not well understood ways. But Just simple pedigree, looking at your family. Hey, dad's on his sixth cancer on his ear. Dad's dad had it. You know, I burn easily. So you're like, oh shit, my family history is like, I'm likely going to get something.

You guys can call or text. I will try my best to respond to everybody. But I say this all the time. My goal, my role will always be to be a doctor first. My practice, my group, we see 250 patients a day. And we will always be centered on patient care, myself particularly in skin cancer, skin sun damage, surgery, and things like that. And I think there's a lot of information out there.

There's a lot of data out there, but not a lot of information. And the problem with data is you can chop it up. in any which way you want to get the message that you're trying to push across. I mean, we didn't even talk about the most common things like, you know, Botox and things like that, that people spend a lot of money on. There's so much to talk about.

But I think to look at an overarching picture, look at what happens to patients in real world settings, and then say, hey, Maybe we shouldn't be heavily leaning on this side. Maybe we shouldn't be heavily leaning on this side. But somewhere in the middle and picking a step this way or that way to optimize our health is the right way to do it.

We've skewed so far on one side in healthcare in the United States in general that we've replaced common sense things with a pill, a prescription, a surgery, or a device. And I don't think we need to do that.
