SAMILIA OBENG-GYASI

The Ohio State University surgical oncologist is a newcomer to the list.

Why did you decide to specialize in breast cancer surgery? I have a personal and professional interest in health disparities and health equity. Unfortunately, there are significant disparities in breast cancer outcomes based on race and socioeconomic status. Working as a breast surgeon has provided me with the necessary tools to help develop interventions to reduce and eliminate disparities in breast cancer outcomes.

What are some of the most exciting innovations you’re seeing in your field? There has been significant de-escalation in the surgical management of breast cancer. For example, we are doing fewer axillary surgeries, which will translate into lower rates of lymphedema and improved quality of life for patients. We also utilize newer surgical techniques, such as nipple-sparing mastectomies and oncoplastic procedures, which improve cosmetic outcomes.

What research questions are you exploring? My research focuses on how exposure to adverse socioenvironmental stressors (e.g. poverty, discrimination, interpersonal stress, etc.) influences cancer aggressivity, treatment tolerability and survival from breast cancer.

Who was your most important mentor? I have had a couple of mentors who have been essential for my development as an academic surgeon. These include Dr. Barbara Andersen, Dr. Timothy Pawlik, Dr. Allan Tsung, Dr. William Carson and Dr. Ruth Carlos. A career as a surgeon-scientist requires a team of mentors focused on your academic success. Each of these individuals mentored and sponsored me in ways that have been transformative for my career.

If you weren’t practicing medicine, what would you spend your life pursuing? I would be a writer.

TOP DOCTOR: THE RARE BREED

JOHN S. KIM

The Sleep & Breathing Research Institute physician is one of just three sleep medicine specialists on the list.

What drew you to sleep medicine? Sleep medicine is a relatively young specialty, and it is exciting to be involved in something that is just starting up. In addition, everyone has had a problem with their sleep at some point in their lives, and it is satisfying to explain there is a scientific mechanism for the problem.

Why do so many people struggle with sleep these days? Globalization with 24-7 schedules and an inability to turn off smartphones, computers and streaming services has led to inconsistency in timing and quantity of sleep. There is a tendency to not prioritize sleep with the belief that we can catch up at our convenience, which is not true. We have a more sedentary lifestyle these days, leading to weight gain, with increased incidence of sleep apnea and other medical problems that affect sleep.

What advice do you have for someone who’s not sleeping well? A strict wake-sleep schedule, good sleep hygiene and consistent exercise, nutrition and bedtime routine. Keep a sleep diary to follow trends. Ask your bed partner what they have observed and keep track of symptoms. Try to get at least seven hours of sleep each night. If problems are severe or continue, see a sleep specialist. You are asleep a third of your life; try to get the most out of it.

What’s the proudest moment of your career? Being able to be a physician like my father and having an opportunity to assist people. Meeting a variety of patients and working with great personnel and peers who appreciate your efforts.

TOP DOCTOR: THE VETERAN

RENEE CAPUTO

The Central Ohio Urology Group urogynecologist has been on the list continuously since 2015.

How has your field changed since you started practicing? Having an accredited specialty in urogynecology and female pelvic medicine has bridged the knowledge gap that I witnessed more than 30 years ago between gynecology and urology. With more evidence-based practices, we can now offer more effective and safer options for women who suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction.

What is the most common problem you see in your patients these days? Although no fault of their own, the most common problem is the lack of knowledge about their bodies, especially the pelvic floor. I believe this is a result of pelvic floor disorders being a lower priority on the patient’s problem list and a relative avoidance by the lay media to discuss the female genital tract.

Do you recall a gratifying case—and what made it gratifying? Gratifying cases occur on a regular basis in my field—that’s why I love it! Most recently, we treated a 35-year-old young lady who had suffered significant physical and emotional trauma in her life. She presented with severe urinary frequency (average 25 times a day), urinary and fecal accidents and bed-wetting daily. We placed a neurostimulator, and she now voids less than 10 times a day, wakes up dry with minimal to no accidents.

What do you do to stay healthy? I try to do the things we tell our patients: eat right and stay active. But just as important, I stay healthy by laughing a lot, recognizing I can’t do everything alone and that perfection is impossible.

Dr. McClung is a board-certified urologist in Columbus, Ohio with fellowship training in reconstructive and trauma surgery. Having gained a reputation as a kind, soft spoken and artistic surgeon, his services are being sought out by trans and non-binary patients from all over the world.

The initial part of his career focused on cis-gender reconstruction, congenitalism, and trauma in academic medicine. His introduction into the field

of gender health was born out of the management of complications in patients who had bottom surgery elsewhere. After finding the satisfaction that came from working with gender diverse patients, he then began performing gender affirming surgeries himself. His new self-owned practice is now entirely devoted to gender healthcare and he has performed over 300 bottom surgeries including gender non-conforming, female-to-male and male-to-female.

COLUMBUS COSMETIC

Dr. Robert Houser and Dr. Casey Kraft at Columbus Cosmetic feel privileged to help their patients become their most confident selves. Consistently recognized as one of the top plastic surgery practices in Columbus, Columbus Cosmetic grew even stronger in the fall of 2022 as it welcomed Dr. Kraft.

“Dr. Kraft is a widely recognized, expert contributor to the field,” Dr. Houser explains. “This is just one of the many reasons we’re so excited to welcome him to Columbus Cosmetic. Plus, his patients love him.”

Dr. Kraft is equally enthusiastic about joining forces with Dr. Houser. “We share a deep commitment to our patients,” Dr. Kraft says. “Our mission is to deliver outstanding results for everyone who walks through our door.”

From brow lifts and eye lifts to tummy tucks and breast augmentations, every procedure is performed with the utmost care and safety. When a patient comes in for their consultation, Drs. Houser and Kraft help them find the right procedure to address their individual needs.

“Beauty comes in all different sizes and shapes,” Dr. Houser says. “Just because something works for someone else, doesn’t mean it will for you.”

Dr. Kraft agrees. “Everyone is different. Everything we do is shaped around the individual patient and what’s best for them. We’re here to enhance beauty and make people feel like the best versions of themselves.”

The surgeons and their knowledgeable staff consistently provide incredible care and beautiful results. “You’ve got these cancer patients who come in feeling scared, defeated, frustrated. And you provide services that make them feel more whole and less ravaged by disease,” says Dr. Houser, who has been practicing for two decades. “The cosmetic patients, really, are no different. Something has taken their mojo, their sense of confidence. And providing care for those patients is about making them feel like they recognize what they see in the mirror.”

Drs. Houser and Kraft join the best of modern technology with decades of experience while always centering compassion. They remain on the cutting edge of surgical technology while avoiding trends that go out of fashion or even pose risks. Instead, they prioritize safety and help patients enhance natural beauty.

Dr. Houser, Dr. Kraft and their team believe that patients of all ages and genders deserve renewed confidence, and they stop at nothing to help them achieve their goals. Services like the mommy makeover, face-lifts and Botox® can help women to feel their best, and for men, Dr. Houser is the first and only surgeon in Ohio to specialize in the ARTAS® Robotic Procedure, a hair restoration procedure that provides natural-looking regrowth without any staples, stitches or scarring. The office also offers nonsurgical and skincare services—including chemical peels, microneedling, Botox® and dermal filler injectables—with licensed medical estheticians and nurse injectors.

“I tell every patient that comes in, ‘I’m going to treat you like my family,’ ” Dr. Houser says. “I wouldn’t do a procedure on a woman that I wouldn’t do to my own wife or daughter; I’m not going to recommend something to a guy that I wouldn’t recommend to my brother or father. It’s not just a profession—it should be a relationship.”

AKAS ‘A.J.’ JAIN, M.D.

Dr. Akas “A.J.” Jain is committed to delivering compassionate care and excellent outcomes for his patients at Reproductive Gynecology & Infertility (RGI) in Westerville.

“Every patient should be able to fulfill their potential of having a family,” Jain says. “Sometimes this is easily accomplished with small interventions, and other times, the highest level of scientific and technological resources are required. However, one constant that must never be compromised is the unwavering dedication and commitment to achieving the best outcomes.”

Fertility care involves a variety of treatments, but Jain feels the process is optimized by a personalized approach

incorporating the specific needs of each couple. Accordingly, he conducts every consultation, ultrasound and procedure himself. One of the first questions he asks a new patient is, “How many children would you ideally like to have?” The answer will help create an individualized plan based on the couple’s issues and fertility potential. “Every couple has their own story and circumstances that have brought them to our office,” he says. “We pride ourselves on being the last stop on anyone’s quest to build their family.”

While many factors contribute to a successful outcome, Jain feels RGI’s pregnancy rates are owed to outstanding laboratory techniques utilizing a prolific embryo culture and preimplantation
