“The hasty departure of my mother to cancer at a young age, and my own youth, guaranteed my heartbreak. Her last words to me were, ‘When you become the successful doctor that you have been working so diligently to become, I want you to treat every patient with the same passion you have shown me.’ I live to achieve the dream that my mother left for me that has become my dream as well. I find myself fulfilling this dream as I have and continue to treat every patient with the love and passion I felt for my mother” expressed Dr. Al Zoubi.
