We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Carl Truesdale and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Carl, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
I decided to become a doctor when I was 10. My successful facial plastic surgery practice is the culmination of the many large and small actions I’ve taken since then. My dad is a scientist and my mom is one of the most loving and creative people I know. I was an incredibly curious kid, and they helped me pursue my varied interests including piano, sports, portrait painting, and science experiments. I double-majored in Biology and Spanish in college, never wanting to choose between my love of science and language, art, and culture. I decompressed during med school by playing the piano, and added private pilot training to my list of hobbies in residency. Even while running a busy private practice, I make time for family, art, music, and culture. I think it’s important to my patients that I’m not just an excellent surgeon, but I’m someone they feel like they know and can relate to.
