38 JULY/AUGUST 2015 | MedEsthetics P icture T his Joseph O'Connell, MD, chose plastic surgery over a career in photography and created a picture-perfect aesthetic center. GROWING UP in a family of lawyers and teachers, Joseph O'Connell chose not to follow the family tradition and instead had dreams of becoming a famous artist or shutterbug. He took art and photography classes at a small New England preparatory school and followed with studio art and photography in college. "I took a photography course with Roger Mertin, who at that time was probably in his 20s; Roger liked my work and he asked if I would trade for some of his. It was just my coursework so I gave it to him," he says. "I wish I had been astute enough to trade because Roger went on to become a very famous photographer; he even had work hanging in the Museum of Modern Art."
