The mission of the Department of Anesthesiology at Montefiore Medical Center is to provide cutting-edge anesthesia care to its patients.

In order to stay up to date in his field, he remains a member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the Spine Intervention Society, the Massachusetts Medical Society, and the North American Spine Society.

A 2009 graduate of the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the Lebanese University, Dr. Farah went on to complete his training at the American University of Beirut and St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts. This was followed by a fellowship at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center.

Licensed to practice medicine in several states, the doctor is board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine by the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA), whose mission is to advance the highest standards of the practice of anesthesiology. As the certifying body for anesthesiologists since 1938, the ABA is committed to partnering with physicians to advance lifelong learning and exceptional patient care.

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists have the primary responsibility of monitoring the patient’s vital signs during surgery. In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, anesthesiologists also measure the patient’s respiration.

Interventional pain management or interventional pain medicine is a medical subspecialty which treats pain with invasive interventions such as facet joint injections, nerve blocks, neuroaugmentation, vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, nucleoplasty, endoscopic discectomy, and implantable drug delivery system. As an interventional pain management physician, Dr. Farah focuses on the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of pain. 

Among his philanthropic endeavours, he went on a humanitarian mission to Ecuador, in collaboration with Hands Across the World, to help treat patients with congenital deformities.

In addition to English, he speaks Arabic and French.
