Outside of his career in cosmetic medicine, Dr. Daniel Francis is passionate about working in addiction medicine and finding a way to mitigate the pain addiction causes in everyday life for so many people.
In the United States, currently, there is an ongoing opioid crisis. Each day on average, more than 130 people die from an opioid overdose, and the country has lost more than 400,000 people to opioid overdose since 1999. In addition to the tragic loss of life, the opioid crisis is also a costly epidemic, with the United States bearing an economic burden of around $78.5 billion each year as a result, combining healthcare, criminal justice involvement, treatment, and productivity loss. With approximately 2.1 million people addicted to opioids in 2017, the problem is far from slowing down.
Dr. Daniel Francis has seen the way addiction has ruined many lives and taken just as many as well. Most people in America know someone whose life has been affected by addiction, but Dr. Francis wants to work to bring this number down.
As a professional working in the healthcare sector, Dr. Daniel Francis knows how revolutionary Suboxone has been when it comes to helping people suffering from addiction quit and stay clean. As far as he is concerned, Suboxone is a miracle drug in the way it is able to help patients stay clean with more ease, making it ten times easier to quit all with just a monthly pill or injectable. For this reason, he was prompted to get his license so he could begin prescribing Suboxone and working with patients in their recovery.
Professionally, Dr. Daniel Francis is the Medical Director at South Jersey Aesthetics, where he helps his patients look and feel their best through high-quality cosmetic procedures. Using dermal fillers like Juvederm and Botox, Dr. Francis helps people look years younger and regain their confidence. He also works as an independent contractor with Concierge Facial Aesthetics.
As a medical professional, Dr. Francis wants to provide all of his patients with the best experience possible, which includes limiting irritation and inflammation around the dermal filler injection sites. For this reason, he uses microcannula — smaller needles than typically used in cosmetic procedures — to reduce pain and redness at the injection site.
