Katarina Kesty, 36

Dr. Katarina Kesty's love for the medical profession can be traced back to her childhood. 

The daughter of two ophthalmologists, Kesty says her parents instilled in her from a young age that "the best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered" — an ideal she's carried with her as she's grown to become one of the premier dermatologists in the region, known for her innovative work in cosmetic lasers and her pioneering use of AI to enhance laser care.
