"Plastic surgeons have provided unsolicited feedback about Anisa's contributions in their clinics and improved clinical outcomes for their clients since she had been present in their clinics." A North American Hospital.
Upon a request from colleagues & due to Opioid Crisis,
Dr. Kong feels she has a calling to develop this iKNOT approach, which is easier for patients to understand, & for therapists to analyze. Dr. Kong would like to share and train more therapists to continue work on improving the effectiveness and efficacy of this approach so as to reach out and help more patients in need.
