    2025/02/24
    For Dr. Jason Giles, addiction medicine isn’t just a profession—it’s a calling shaped by personal experience. In recovery himself, he knows firsthand what it takes to break free from substance dependence.

    With over 20 years in the field, he combines his deep understanding of addiction with extensive medical expertise to help others reclaim their lives.

    Before specializing in addiction medicine, Dr. Giles worked in high-intensity trauma, cardiac, and transplant anesthesia. His journey took a turn during a fellowship in pain medicine, where his own recovery, now 25 years strong, led him to addictionology.

    Today, Dr. Giles cares for patients through treatment centers across California and beyond. He specializes in detox care, helping patients safely transition from substances like alcohol and opiates. His patients value his expertise, empathy, and lived experience as proof that recovery is possible.

    For Dr. Giles, it’s not just about living longer, but living better.

    ABOUT MEET THE DOCTOR

    The purpose of the Meet the Doctor podcast is simple. We want you to get to know your doctor before meeting them in person because you’re making a life changing decision and time is scarce. The more you can learn about who your doctor is before you meet them, the better that first meeting will be.

    When you head into an important appointment more informed and better educated, you are able to have a richer, more specific conversation about the procedures and treatments you’re interested in. There’s no substitute for an in-person appointment, but we hope this comes close.

    Meet The Doctor is a production of The Axis.
    Made with love in Austin, Texas.

  • Joy Kong, MD - Stem Cell Therapy Specialist in Los Angeles, California

    Joy Kong, MD - Stem Cell Therapy Specialist in Los Angeles, California
    2025/02/20
    After realizing true healing requires addressing the body as a whole, Dr. Joy Kong expanded from psychiatry to integrative medicine. Now a leader in stem cell therapy, she spends time uncovering root causes rather than just treating symptoms.

    Unlike traditional medicine, where appointments are often rushed, Dr. Kong takes the time to deeply understand her patients, their history, and the complex interactions within their bodies.

    Her approach helps people of all ages, from young children with autism to seniors in their 90’s. She’s treated a 9/11 responder with severe lung damage, restoring lung function, and helped a patient with debilitating trigeminal neuralgia go from 30-50 pain episodes a day to completely pain-free.

    But her mission doesn’t stop at patient care. Frustrated by how many doctors overlook new research, she founded the American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy to educate other physicians on stem cell treatments. She even developed a 100% natural stem cell-based skincare cream.

    Dr. Kong is also passionate about clearing up misconceptions. Through her podcast, she helps people understand the science behind regenerative medicine—so much so that many of her patients walk into their first appointment already informed from her episodes.

  • Lee B. Daniel, MD - Plastic Surgeon in Eugene, Oregon

    Lee B. Daniel, MD - Plastic Surgeon in Eugene, Oregon
    2025/01/07
    Dr. Lee B. Daniel describes himself as “a plastic surgeon second, a good human being first.” With over three decades of experience helping people from all walks of life, he connects with patients on a personal level, ensuring they’re always treated as individuals, not just procedures.

    Growing up on a large Kentucky farm with four younger sisters, Dr. Daniel learned responsibility early, inspired by his father, a Marine drill sergeant turned doctor. Even in high school, he felt drawn to plastic surgery, combining his natural creativity, spatial awareness, and dexterity, a skill set that made the field feel like it chose him.

    In 1999, Dr. Daniel moved to Eugene, Oregon, to open his private practice, introducing advanced techniques to the area. He later expanded with his med spa, The Spa Side, and soon after, The Guy Side, offering treatments specifically for men. These med spas complement his surgical expertise, offering non-surgical options to enhance results.

    Dr. Daniel does it all: face, breast, and body, and loves every bit of it.
