Dr. Lonny Green is the Medical Director at Rejuvenate MD Wellness Medspa in Richmond, VA. Dr. Green has been a practicing surgeon in Richmond for over 20 years, with a Bachelor of Science Degree from Stanford University, and a Medical Degree from the UCLA School of Medicine. Dr. Green has a passion for health and wellness, and today he joins Christine to talk about his medical journey, and the dedication that he and his all-star team have for giving back to their community.
Dr. Green tells Christine about his background working in Urology, Hormone Replacement Therapy, supervised weight loss, and Botox injections, as well as opening his own practice in July 2015. He credits his success to surrounding himself with strong, intelligent women, both personally and professionally, and explains how his incredible team worked together to overcome the challenges they faced due to COVID. Dr. Green explains how he got the nickname “Ninja Injector,” why he recently decided to focus solely on facial aesthetics, and his mission to help people become, not a different version of themselves, but their best selves naturally. He breaks down how his practice hosts parties and raffles to raise funds and awareness for several causes, including intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. And he offers his advice to business owners who want to give back, but may not be able to due to financial strains during the pandemic.
When entrepreneurs find their true path, there comes a time when they need to decide whether to dive right in or walk away from the pool as a whole. Today Dr. Green shares his story of taking that leap, persevering through setbacks to build a thriving business, and using his platform to do good and give back to his community.

Episode Highlights:
“That's the only reason I'm here. My team is everything.”
“The secret to my success is to surround yourself with really strong, intelligent women and just get the hell out of the way. My personal life and my professional life - that is pretty much how I roll.”
“Basically, I'm a very hands-on medical director and I just could not manage everything. I felt like things were slipping through the cracks. I wanted it to be excellent. And if it's not 100% excellent, it's not going to be at Rejuvenate.”
“From the Renaissance artists on, from the Greeks and the Romans on...everyone was trying to figure out beauty. And there is a mathematical basis. So that means that we can use that to make people, not a different version of themselves, but the best version of themselves and keep it natural.”
“I have four words for what you described - the trolls and the haters and everything: It's not about you.”
“We don't sell Botox, and we don't sell fillers, and we don't sell laser services. We don't even sell CoolSculpting - we sell confidence.”
“We still got thousands of dollars for Safe Harbor at our Christmas party. We had a Christmas raffle. And even though we had nobody come into the lobby, people phoned in, we did it online, and we sold thousands of dollars of raffle tickets during a time when we didn't even have the party.”
