When I was a child, the game I always enjoyed playing the most was to be a doctor to my dolls. What you play as a child is what your soul is the closest to. I was fortunate (and very eager) to become a doctor in my adult life. I always pictured doctors as the healthiest people because they are so knowledgeable about health and wellness. We have to serve as an example. Divina MedSpa is a result of everything I am constantly learning about health, longevity, optimal aging, aesthetics, regenerative medicine, and wellbeing.
I was born and raised in Serbia, that later became a war torn country which brought interesting adversity into my life. I chose plastic surgery as my residency over psychiatry, although it was a tough choice. Emotional wellbeing and the power of the mind of my patients is something I learn about daily. After passing the board exam in plastic surgery, I started my PhD studies in regenerative medicine, as I always believed in the brilliance of the body to self-repair. My personal journey to health, innate curiosity and the feel that conventional medicine is not sufficient to heal, had me start the fellowship at the Institute for Functional Medicine. I still travel back to Serbia where I founded and work at Clinica Divina, plastic surgery clinic and specialized clinic for hair loss.
My greatest passion is to treat hair loss, thus Follistica- a unique, holistic approach to this very common (and complex) aesthetic and health challenge. I guide my patients to live longer and better, aiming for them to match their life span to their health span. Optimal aging comes as result of inner balance of genome, epigenome and microbiome.
I am fortunate to be married to Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, a medical director of Divina MedSpa and my partner in crime in longevity and happiness. I am a mom to two spirited and beautiful kids- Alex and Sasha. We live in company of our 4 fluffy dogs. When I don’t work, I most likely do yoga, meditate, play (or watch) tennis, make jewelry (by purchasing it, you actually support my foundation “Dr. Gorana Epstein”-created to help children in need for reconstructive procedures), read or walk on the beach.
I am looking forward to meeting you in our Divina MedSpa and would be honored to enhance your wellbeing with everything I know and believe into.
Yours,
Dr. Gorana Epstein
