Behind the Scenes - Getting to know Dr. Justo

We took some time with Dr. Justo off the clock to ask some questions a little different than what he's used to.  We know he's one of the cutting edge surgeons in Phoenix's West Valley for cataract surgery and cosmetic surgery, but what makes him tick?  What makes the man behind the surgeon?  Well, we asked...

I would be a lion so as to be "King of the Jungle", the jungle of course referring to my family who I adore and want to protect!

Blue, the same color as my eyes!

My parents, especially my father, always instilled in me a sense of unwavering commitment, tireless work, and high ethics.....by following these guidelines I would be able to achieve anything I set my mind on.
