I owe my quality of life to Dr. Ziad Katrib! I was badly bitten by a pit bull on Christmas night 2016, he jumped up and took a huge chunk of my bottom lip out! I knew this was bad, as I could feel the missing piece out of my lip and I knew it was not just sewing two sides together, there was almost half of my left side of my lip MISSING! I went to the first hospital, and the doctors and nurses kept staring at my lip saying "it's bad, really bad". I said "well can you fix it?" Not here they said, you will need a plastic surgeon, a good one! So we went to another hospital. There were NO plastic surgeons scheduled for that night. I kept calm and NEVER gave up hope or lost my faith that God and the Angels would send me my surgeon. A doctor there said, ''wait, I am going to call someone". She said he will be here in 15 mins!!!! I had faith, I just knew. I saw Dr. Katrib walking into my room carrying his bag with such confidence and authority, I felt at ease immediately. He looked at my mouth and I kept asking, ''can you fix it? can you?" he said YES. I asked had he done this sort of thing before, he said ''I take out cancer in patients lips all the time''. He also did face lifts, as I asked :) I wanted to make sure my stitches would be neat. I used to do modeling and my lip function to me was very important. I also do a lot of speaking. I am extremely lucky Dr. Katrib came to my rescue that night and I am forever indebted to him ... FOREVER! Today, you cannot tell anything happened. When I show people the photos of my missing lip and what it looks like now, they cannot believe his work. I was so lucky he came into my life, also lucky he repaired my lip muscle, without that, I would not be able to have movement in my mouth. I would trust Dr. Katrib with my life and my family's. Thank you Dr. Katrib XOX
