Throughout his academic career, the doctor graduated with his medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine in 1993, laying the foundation for a successful career in the field of healthcare. Following medical school, he pursued further specialization through a residency program in Anesthesiology at the Detroit Medical Center in Detroit, Michigan. This comprehensive training equipped him with the skills and knowledge necessary to provide anesthesia services and support to surgical patients, contributing to the success of USC’s surgical procedures.

As a testament of his continued education, the doctor is board-certified in anesthesiology by the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA).

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, they measure the patient’s respiration.
