Giving Back – Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence

Giving back has long been a part of Drs. Lieberman & Parikh’s practice, but the doctors have just announced an official program to provide free facial surgeries for injuries sustained through domestic violence  through a partnership with the nonprofit, Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence.

In addition, Drs. Lieberman & Parikh will treat any victims of abuse who come to them through a certified, referring organization.

“Being able to give back to the community is very important us. We have a unique opportunity to remove physical scars or sequelae from abuse,” said Dr. Parikh.

Domestic violence is a significant problem in Santa Clara County and crosses all socioeconomic, ethnic and religious boundaries. An injury can prevent a person from getting a job or continuing with daily activities. 

“Even if a person has moved on from trauma, a scar or injury can be a daily reminder of that period in their life. To be able to get rid of the scars can be very powerful for a person,” said Dr. Parikh.
