Dr. Pabona on aesthetics, wellness & purpose
In this AY Men of Distinction 2026 interview, Dr. Pabona explains why he sees aesthetics and wellness as more than surface-level topics. He connects that perspective to his experience in internal medicine, hospital care, research, teaching, and building Embrace Eternal Beauty, while emphasizing education as an important part of how he serves patients and the community.
The conversation also turns to what he values about Hot Springs, including its lakes and trails, before closing on service and purpose: the idea that recognition matters less than the impact people have on others and those they can inspire.
Recorded July 23, 2026, at The Sanctuary at Argenta in North Little Rock, Arkansas. This public media interview is shared for general information and is not medical guidance.
