Meet Dr. Zaga

The surgeon who tells youthe truth first.

On a white wall in his office there's a single black dothe painted himself. He asks every patient to find it.

The lesson: there is no 100% in surgery. That's why he'd rather lose a booking by being honest about scars and recovery than win one with a perfect-picture promise.
