From Operatory to Outreach
After completing his fellowship, Dr. Morin found himself drawn to the heart‑warming side of medicine.

Anecdote from the OR

What Drives Dr. Morin?
- Passion for excellence—he believes no surgical procedure is ever “just good enough.”
- Heart in every cut—his life-long mission: to keep children smiling, regardless of circumstance.
- Humility and humor: He’s the kind of bloke who could explain a complex surgical concept in a joke. “Why did the surgeon bring a ladder to the operating room? Because the patient needed a high-level solution!”
In short, Dr. Morin is the epitome of a modern-day Renaissance man: brilliant in the laboratory, compassionate in the ward, and fearless in the wilderness. He’s proving every day that the best medicine comes with a side of laughter, dedication, and an unwavering resolve to make the world a sweeter place, one reconstructed face at a time.
