Coffee with Rock Star, David Victor

Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with David Victor, formerly from the multi-platinum band, Boston. This American Rock Vocalist, and Guitarist currently resides in the East Bay with his beautiful wife and adorable rescue dogs. He continues to play and teach music, here in the East Bay. He stays busy with the various bands he currently is playing in and performs all over! For a list of upcoming shows, click here!

David has a big heart and loves to give back, he recently did a benefit from the Discovery Counseling Center’s anti-bullying campaign at Danville’s Village Theatre, in October 2019.

He expresses how playing music goes deeper than within himself, he enjoys playing music for people and seeing the responsiveness of how it has the ability to access happy memories and takes them back in time while the song plays. David started a charity, Harmony & Healing After working with a charity affiliated with a band, in Boston, he carried it over here to California. The mission is to bring live music to the bedsides and community spaces of patients and their loved ones in hospitals, healthcare facilities, Ronald McDonald Houses and more.

We lift spirits and take patient’s and family’s minds off their challenges with live musical performances. Music lowers stress levels, brings about positive associations, speeds healing and restores happiness to patient’s lives and the lives of their loved ones.

He loves being able to bring joy to patients and seeing the smile on their faces from the music he plays.

Don’t miss out on his inaugural benefit for Harmony & Healing! David Victor’s SUPERGROUP SF will be playing at the beautiful Bankhead Theater in Livermore on Saturday, March 28th, 2020. To purchase tickets to this event, click here!

Dr. Rankin – Blackhawk Plastic Surgery

Last week I got a chance to talk with a new asset to the Blackhawk Plastic Surgery & Med Spa , Dr. Ronan’s newest partner Dr. Rankin. As a surgeon, educator, and innovator, Dr. Rankin comes from one of the leading plastic surgery training programs in the country, Vanderbilt University. Dr. Rankin has spent the last decade with some of the most prominent names in surgical training in order to be able to offer the safest, cutting edge techniques to the San Francisco Bay area.

Dr. Rankin and his beautiful family

Originally from Marin County, he has lived all over the country but likes to be close to family and wanted to get back to the bay area. Recently moved from Nashville, TN to be closer to family, Dr. Rankin plans on calling Danville their permanent home. He loves all that our town has to offer; excellent area for raising kids, parks, schools, and the list goes on!

Dr. Rankin is definitely a man that wears many hats. At the office, he is Doctor, but at home, he is Daddy. Not only is he an excellent surgeon, he is a father and husband to a beautiful family. He has 3 adorable kids – All under the age of 5! When he isn’t working, he is spending time with his family, exploring Tahoe, or visiting the coast! I had the opportunity to also speak to his lovely wife, Kanika. She expressed to me how fascinating it has been to witness her husband’s career path.

“I watched my husband spend years in training to get to this point and now seeing him in his element has made it all worth it! And never once failed to make me feel like his highest priority. His loyalty shows at work, his attention to detail, care for his patients, and passion for the art is second to none!”

Dr. Rankin loves what he does and his passion for his work with cosmetic surgery, which can be see in this quote from our interview.

“I enjoy the art and technical aspects of plastic surgery and how it effects peoples quality of life.  It can truly have a profound impact on your day to day life. My hope is that I continue to work with people and build a lasting relationship.”

One might ask, “How did he discover Blackhawk Plastic Surgery?” Before moving back to Northern California Dr. Rankin considered practices all over California. Working with Dr. Ronan was the best fit due to the world class practice he had built along with a standout community, safety, and excellence. When Dr. Rankin first walked into Blackhawk Plastic Surgery he recalled:

“I felt like the practice embodied the attribute of what I feel. The staff is amazing and has been there 12-15 years. I could tell that patients are well taken care of here.”

Dr. Rankin also offers valuable advice to first time patients and noted:

“All consults are FREE, come in and talk with me and get as little to as much info as you want. I will take my time to explain and answer your questions or concerns. I Work with my patients like a partner-I want to help achieve your goals. I just want you to have exceptional information and knowledge before leaving the appointment”

After talking with Dr. Rankin, I can see how much passion and devotedness he puts into being a surgeon. He genuinely cares for his patients and staff. The world needs more authentic, reputable Doctors just like him!
