Dr. M. Uzair Saqlain sees himself as a coach as much as he is an oncologist."Oncology is a specialty where you develop a strong and special bond with your patients," Dr. Saqlain said. "That bond often begins in the most difficult and uncertain time for our patients and together we form a team with the ultimate goal of returning them to their lives."While Dr. Saqlain realized his passion for medicine early in high school, he did not decide to pursue oncology until his residency in the U.S. "I am inspired by the strength, determination and courage of patients undergoing cancer treatment," he said. "People ask me why I chose a specialty that is sometimes emotionally taxing. I feel this is the most satisfying job, because I am able to help patients when others might lose hope."Like many physicians, Dr. Saqlain has learned to listen carefully to his patients, because the details they share are often better than tests. Medicine today is not one-sided. "My greatest hope is that patients find me approachable and honest. I coach and guide, but they are in charge," he said. "I am driven by the desire to help them at their most vulnerable time, hold their hand and guide them on their journey."In his own words:What was your favorite subject in school and your worst subject? I loved biology and zoology, but I did not enjoy math. As I look back, I think it may be because everyone in my family was superb at math so it was a lot of pressure.What was your first job? I started building gaming computers for my friends and relatives.What book is on your nightstand? "When Breath Becomes Air" by Paul Kalanithi. It's a memoir about his life and fight against stage IV metastatic lung cancer.What do you enjoy outside of work? I like to explore technology, especially smart homes and automation. I listen to music when I have time. I'm a country music fan.

About Dr. HauchFor Dr. Adam Hauch, medicine was a substantial part of his upbringing. My father was a physician in South Bend, and I have several aunts and uncles in medicine, he says. For me, I always saw myself as a surgeon and worked toward that goal my whole life.What led him to his specialty? He sees it as one of the few remaining whole-body surgical specialties. Plastic surgeons have the ability and opportunity to perform maxillofacial reconstruction and pediatric plastic surgery, he explains. We operate on the extremities and torso and perform microvascular reconstruction as well as cosmetic surgery. All with the goal to restore both form and function, giving patients an aesthetic result that erases the scars left by illness, trauma and aging.His enthusiasm for his field is matched by his love for his hometown. He chose to practice at Beacon for the opportunity to return to South Bend and practice around like-minded, dedicated surgeons that wish to help their community. Hes also excited to bring this diverse specialty to the area. He states, The field of plastic surgery is often misconstrued in the media, and people often have a misconception of what exactly we do as plastic surgeons. Although cosmetic and aesthetic surgery is a part of my practice, there is so much more to it.When asked about his personal philosophy, Dr. Hauch says he abides by the three As: availability, affability and ability. I strive to be approachable and offer a multidisciplinary approach to give the highest quality care to my patients.For Dr. Hauch, it cannot be said enough that the human aspect of medicine matters. A surgeon should not strive to be just the technically best surgeon. Often lending an ear, a shoulder to cry on and being a patients friend matter more than anything else.In his own wordsWho is or was the most influential person/role model in yourlife?
