We were lucky to catch up with Mike Kelleher recently and have shared our conversation below.
Mike, appreciate you joining us today. Setting up an independent practice is a daunting endeavor. Can you talk to us about what it was like for you – what were some of the main steps, challenges, etc.
I never set out to open my own practice. Was never even in my vocabulary, but it had to be done. I always felt that patient care and treatment could be done differently. Involving the patient in the plan, allowing them to feel comfortable and being completely open and honest with them. I knew nothing about opening a business, and I am still learning. I just knew it had to be done, so I did it. I had to go into this with a certain amount of ignorance, because if I knew then what I know now, I might have been scared off. But, when I made up my mind to move forward, it had to work, failure was not an option and it still isn’t. And thankfully we have been very fortunate and extremely successful .
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
(R)Evolution is about being on the forefront of patient care. Always innovating, always striving to provide the superior, natural results. Patients treatment plans are always individualized to their goals and needs. I opened (R)Evolution in Decatur, GA, July 5, 2021. We have been awarded Best MedSpa Decatur for 2022, and 2023. Featured in BestSelf Atlanta Who’s Who in 2023. Awarded Best Aesthetic Injector 2023. Accolades are great, not sought after, purely the result of hard work, training, and a commitment to care.
(R)Evolution remains on the cutting edge of the latest, safest, and best aesthetic procedures and techniques. (R)Evolution is the first and only practice in GA to offer EndoLift. EndoLift is a minimally invasive nonsurgical non ablative laser platform that allows us to treat aesthetic complaints that I otherwise could not have treated non surgically in the past. We can now not only tighten tissue all over the body, but we can dissolve fat as well. Minimal downtime with amazing results.
If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?
I did not choose this profession.. it chose me . I was lucky enough to have the best mentors and it would never happen again. it happened..the universe works in mysterious ways
Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?
Passion. You have to have the passion to want to do this and be the best at it. People know if you are just going through the motions, and in turn, patients can feel your passion and it emboldens and excites everyone involved.
