Forget the fictional Dr. McDreamy — this Beverly Hills beauty has been dubbed the world’s sexiest physician.
Stacey Naito, who serves as a medical director at a “rejuvenation center” in Los Angeles, competes in bodybuilding competitions, where she’s often introduced as the hottest doctor on the planet.
“I consider the title of ‘world’s hottest doctor’ an incredible honor,” the fit physician told The Sun on Thursday. “I know that people don’t expect doctors to be attractive or sexy, as if being a medical professional and being alluring are mutually exclusive.”
However, Naito claims many patients have expressed doubts about her abilities throughout her career due to her incredible looks.
“Over the years, I have had some frustrating situations arise in which I have been criticized simply for being an attractive woman who is a physician,” the medic moaned.
“Back when I was in medical school, a medical resident approached me and said that I didn’t look like a doctor because I was pretty and in shape. He went on to say that I probably wouldn’t be taken seriously as a doctor because of it,” Naito shockingly stated.
Unfortunately, the resident’s predictions proved correct, with the brunette beauty plagued by those who question her capacity in the field of medicine.
“I have had numerous patients express concern over my appearance, as if being attractive somehow diminishes my credibility as a doctor,” she revealed.
However, Naito refuses to conceal her incredible looks, proudly parading her fit physician’s physique on display at various bodybuilding tournaments.
“Many people seem to think that it isn’t appropriate for a doctor, especially a female, to compete in the bodybuilding world because that means she must step onstage in a blingy bikini and strut her stuff,” the stunner stated. “However, I love bashing stereotypes.”
Proving she’s anything but a dowdy doctor, the pretty professional urges others to kick convention to the curb.
“I refuse to cave in to such stereotypical mindsets and am not afraid to fend off the harsh and unkind words of people who are that narrow-minded,” she declared.
“The message I always strive to communicate to followers is that ANYONE can live an empowered life, and that by adopting healthy lifestyle habits, they can transform their bodies and their lives.”
