"Doctor of The Swan: Terry J. Dubrow"
The day Dr. Terry J. Dubrow was accepted to medical school, his dream came true. As a young man inspired to make his mark on the world, there was no imaginable profession more satisfying than the power to heal.
Today, Dubrow—husband of successful actress Heather Paige Kent—is also experiencing a little Hollywood glamour himself, as a star on television's number-one makeover show, The Swan.

Each woman is assigned a team of specialists: a life coach, therapist, trainer, cosmetic surgeon, and dentist who work together to accomplish the show's conceptual mission.
