Working with one’s spouse might be a challenge for some, but for Dr. Alexandra Fox and Dr. Joseph Berardi, it has been the secret to their success, they say.
Berardi Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery is at 8900 E. Bahia Drive in north Scottsdale.
The dynamic doctor duo met nearly two decades ago when Dr. Fox, then a recent graduate was applying to medical school.
“A complete stranger introduced us, we talked and then ended up exchanging numbers. We then went out on our first date and the rest is history,” said Dr. Berardi.
Fast forward 15 years, the pair has been married for five years and are also the proud parents of two children: Luca and 9-month-old Giuliana.
“We always follow one basic rule and that is we keep ‘home’ at home and when we are working it’s all about our patients and this practice,” said Dr. Fox in a prepared statement. “It’s been pretty seamless and over the years I’ve become more and more involved in the practice and I think we’ve turned into an incredible team.”
Dr. Berardi says his wife, Dr. Fox, offers clientele one-of-a-kind service.
“She takes the time to get to know our patients ahead of the surgery and then she takes incredible pride in making them feel comfortable and making sure they have a successful recovery,” he said. “She is a great part of why we are so successful and to have her alongside me ensures the absolute best patient experience.”
Dr. Fox, who has worked in Level 1 trauma centers most of her career says her husband, Dr. Berardi, is skilled on the operating table.
“I have worked with a lot of plastic surgeons over the years and he is one of the most meticulous surgeons I have every worked with,” she pointed out. “He’s not afraid to stop and take the extra time to make everything just right. He is always focused on giving our patients the best possible outcome.”
