Introducing Dr. David Suarez

Dr. David Suarez was born in Brooklyn and raised in Staten Island, New York. His mother was from Brooklyn and her family was from Austria and Russia, while his father’s entire family was born in Puerto Rico, except for his dad, who was born in Manhattan. David’s mother was an atheist but Jewish by culture and his father was a non-practicing catholic, therefore David was brought up with no religion in his household. His only exposure to religion was when he would go to a roman catholic church with his Italian friends.

After high school football, David started to play semi-professional football and did so for seven years, hoping to eventually play for the National Football League. At the age of twenty-six, David started his journey towards becoming a physician and began medical school in Long Island, New York. As a child he saw his grandfather suffer from multiple sclerosis and his mother from morbid obesity and all of its medical complications. David knew that there had to be a better solution for overall health and started looking into alternative education models.

He was accepted into Midwestern University/Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in September of 2000. Dr. David Suarez completed his general surgery residency in 2011 and completed a general cosmetic surgery fellowship in June of 2012. In 2009, Dr. Suarez took his first course in Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and his life changed forever. He started a cosmetic surgery practice, without a mentor, without someone to help him get started. Dr. Suarez lost his father to complications of colon cancer surgery and a year and a half later he lost his mother. He realized that he needed a community to heal and started to look for a church to join with his family. Eventually, Dr. David Suarez found an amazing Christian Church called Transformation Life Church near his home in New Jersey. He found a church family to plug into to help him develop his faith. He built an amazing cosmetic surgery practice until his “Higher Power” told him he had to fix the entire patient, not just the superficial. In a matter of 4 weeks, Dr. Suarez canceled $275,000 in cosmetic surgery because of a new moral way of thinking.

He eventually closed the surgery center and two years later opened Pure Wellness Medical. This time, something was very different. He had a different energy, a different light in his eyes. Not only did Dr. Suarez no longer perform cosmetic surgery but he now was truly living his purpose.
