Jyoti’s Testimonial

“I genuinely care about our patients and pride myself on providing them with the best care possible. At UNLV Medicine, I can spend time with patients in the clinic and in a hospital setting, as well as teaching residents and medical students at the same time. It is very fulfilling.”

Jyoti Desai, MD | OB/GYN

Excellent in an Emergency
Dr. John Fildes' youthful interest in medicine turned into a successful lifelong career

While Dr. John Fildes’ interest in medicine began as a youngster, it was what he saw working in a hospital during college that spurred his interest in trauma care.

Working in a variety of hospital jobs in New York state, Fildes said he saw many people die following car wrecks and industrial accidents — people he thought could have been saved if the hospital had had better acute care capabilities.

Today Fildes serves as the inaugural chair of the UNLV School of Medicine surgery department and is know worldwide for his work in trauma medicine.

Leaving Them Smiling
For children with rare conditions, UNLV Medicine surgeon restores the ability to show happiness.

It’s a procedure that leaves both the patient and the surgeon with smiles on their faces.

Surgery to correct the effects of Moebius syndrome – a rare congenital condition that can paralyze a person’s entire face and affect muscles that control back and forth eye movement – can make it impossible for a person to show that sign of happiness that most people take for granted

Such was the case for 8-year-old Abraham Chavez, know as AB, before Dr. John Menezes, associate professor of plastic surgery at the UNLV School of Medicine, stepped in.

Dr. Jennifer Baynosa, Surgical Oncologist

From her extended family what Dr. Jennifer Baynosa often heard as a child was that one day she would find a nice man, fall in love, get married, and have a family.

Taking care of her children and her husband, preparing their meals and washing their clothes, was the future that would be hers.

“I grew up in a conservative Hispanic family,” says Baynosa, today an associate professor of breast oncology surgery at the UNLV School of Medicine as well as the general surgery residency program director. “Women were basically seen as caregivers in that culture.”
