Longtime friends Dr. Ricardo and Dr. Mertz recently launched their line of designer hospital attire called Chic Cheeks. The women met as undergraduate students and shared the goal of becoming surgeons. They supported each other through the arduous years of medical school and their respective surgical residencies. Now as attending physicians at Hospital Woeisme, the duo continues to do research and other projects together. Their most recent venture, however, developed far outside of the operating room.
