Behind the Scenes - Getting to know Dr. Justo
We took some time with Dr. Justo off the clock to ask some questions a little different than what he's used to. We know he's one of the cutting edge surgeons in Phoenix's West Valley for cataract surgery and cosmetic surgery, but what makes him tick? What makes the man behind the surgeon? Well, we asked...
