life & style ~ Dr. Christine Hamori Star of Excellence 2013 a fresher face… without surgery by Linda Manco, Nurse and Esthetician Dr. Christine Hamori, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, specializes in a variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures of the breast, face and body. Surgical, and most non- surgical, rejuvenations are performed by Dr. Hamori herself.
