Today we’d like to introduce you to Arezou Yaghoubian
Hi Arezou, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I was born in Iran and immigrated to the US by way of Italy in an ” Argo” type of story. I have lived in LA majority of my life and have wanted to be a doctor like my parents as long as I can remember. Graduated valedictorian of my high school. Went on to UCLA and received my B.S. and M.D. degrees. After completing medical school, I completed a general surgery residency at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. I continued my education with a fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery followed by an additional fellowship in orthopedic hand and microsurgery at UCLA. I have been very passionate about academics and have co-authored almost 50 manuscripts and book chapters. In addition to running my own private practice, I am currently a clinical instructor at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center’s Department of Plastic Surgery and the Los Angeles VA in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery. I practice the full spectrum of plastic and reconstructive surgery, including hand surgery, aesthetic surgery, and breast reconstruction.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Definitely not a smooth road, lots of nay sayers… first dealt with being a foreigner, English as 2nd language, then the challenges of being a petite female in medicine and surgery both still very predominantly all male fields…
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

As a clinical instructor at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center’s Department of Plastic Surgery, I am dedicated to mentoring the next generation of surgical talent. I am actively involved in research, with numerous publications to my name and have won teacher of the year award few times.

Fluent in English, Farsi, and Spanish, I am is committed to giving back to underserved communities, exemplified by my participation in surgical mission trips.
