Happy Doctors’ Day!
Jon Paul Trevisani, M.D., F.A.C.S., or better known to his patients as “Dr. Jon,” is board-certified in plastic surgery and is the founder and Medical Director of the Aesthetic Surgery Centre in Maitland, Florida. The Aesthetic Surgery Centre is one of the leading breast augmentation and plastic surgery centers in the state.
To answer last Friday’s Facebook post, Dr. Jon gave up his love for peanut butter for Lent. It has not been easy for him, especially when he finds me having peanut butter breath all day long or even finding an over-sized open jar of peanut butter on the kitchen counter! His love for peanut butter spreads for many many years. I’ve seen him spread his Peanut Butter on a piece of graham cracker, bagel, turkey sandwich, oatmeal and even an egg sandwich. Dr. Jon has been pondering this palate pleasing treat to be used in pasta! He has indulged in specialty flavored gourmet peanut butters such as raspberry white chocolate, honey-roasted almond, and cinnamon currant peanut butter. However, Dr. Jon is a simple-classic-plain peanut butter lover!
