As the medical director for Northshore Dermatology, Dr. Eric Tabor has a schedule that keeps him incredibly busy—though he has learned, in his years of practice, the importance of balance. “I think my most significant accomplishment in my career is achieving a healthy work-life balance,” he says. “So many successful men choose work and end up missing out on time with their family. I have managed to grow and expand my business while maintaining quality time at home. Because I understand how important it is, I have recently decided to ensure a greater work-life balance for all of my employees by moving to a four-day workweek in the upcoming months.”

While most men consider their elders or predecessors to be their greatest influence, Dr. Tabor sees things a little differently. “My sons are hands-down my heroes,” he says. “Through the trials of everyday life, I have witnessed their perseverance and determination to get where they are going. Their resilience is motivating. As they have grown into young men, I know that they have made me a better man myself, as well as a better father and now grandfather.”

Even with the challenges that come with being in the medical profession, Dr. Tabor is still inspired by his work. “It’s pretty incredible to get to help others every day,” he says. “Each patient is interesting and different, and being able to take the time to help each of them in their unique situation is rewarding.”
