For his innovation in medicine and technology, Justin has also been highlighted by Forbes.
When discussing his contributions to the field, he told the outlet, “I can have more impact on humanity by solving a need in the MedTech space than I could ever do by treating individual patients.
“If I didn’t do the surgery on your knee, someone else would. But if I didn’t build Ceterix, I didn’t believe anyone else would.
“The reason I chose to combine business and medicine is that I knew I wanted to be able to make a positive impact on healthcare on a macro level.
“I realized that building medtech companies was my way of doing it.”
In October 2023, he and Sofia Vergara sparked dating rumors after the two were spotted on a dinner date in Beverly Hills.

US Sun reported how Sofia’s love of partying was one of the factors in the split.
However, in a candid interview with El Paísthe America’s Got Talent star revealed the real reason for her divorce.
She confessed that a dispute over her children was what caused a rift in their relationship.
“Well, I just got divorced from my second husband, who I was with for 10 years,” she told the outlet in January.
“My marriage ended because my husband was younger; he wanted to have children and I didn’t want to be an elderly mother. I feel like it’s not fair to the baby.
“I respect those who do this, but this is no longer for me. I had a son when I was 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother and not a mother”, explained Sofia.
Although Sofia told Spanish media that they split because he wanted children, she revealed that they may have also had difficulties because of her acting role.
The actress said she barely slept in her own bed, instead staying in motels near the set, and found it difficult to relax after long days playing the “cocaine godmother” on her Netflix show Griselda.
“Well, I wasn’t around many people because I was working. I was in every scene, then I would go home…
“I mean, we started late on Fridays and we finished, I got home at 7, 8 in the morning.
“But I did not know [something was wrong]. I was like, what is happening to me?
“But now that I think about it, I got divorced,” she said.
