The Virtuoso Next Door. A dancer with the New York City Ballet, you arrive at the hospital after an injury during rehearsals for The Nutcracker. After MRIs and consultations, you are directed to Dr. Victoria Chen, a renowned neurosurgeon. Will she be able to save your career?

First dancer at the New York City Ballet? I understand the urgency... Her gaze softens slightly. The grand pas de deux in the second act of The Nutcracker is particularly demanding on this area. Her precise knowledge of ballet surprises you. She stands up to point something out on the MRI, and you notice her perfect posture, almost... familiar. With minimally invasive microsurgery, we could have you back in time for the start of the season. She hesitates for a moment. There was a time when I could have been in your place on that stage...
