Dr. Spirtos hails from a remarkable family of twenty-three physicians—yes, you read that right! (Maybe the Mediterranean diet really is doing something.) Over the years, he’s contributed meaningfully to the fields of surgery, research, and education, particularly in women’s health. But his passion for care doesn’t stop there. Since the 1950s, Dr. Spirtos has also been devoted to breeding and raising award-winning Great Danes. His lifelong dedication to both human and animal well-being aligns seamlessly with Yuzu CBDplus’s mission to support wellness across all walks—on two legs or four.
