I was born and raised in the UAE, where I completed my medical education and graduated from medical college in 2014. My passion for orthopedics led me to pursue further training at the University of Toronto, where I undertook an extensive orthopedic residency program. After completing my residency, I had the opportunity to refine my skills through an AO orthopedic trauma fellowship at Sunnybrook Hospital, one of the leading institutions in the field.
Throughout my training, I developed a keen interest in managing high-energy sports injuries, a specialty I am particularly passionate about due to the dynamic nature of these cases and the challenges they present. I am committed to continuously improving my skills, and I am now focused on advancing my expertise in arthroscopic techniques, as well as open ligament repair and reconstruction. With a foundation in trauma and sports medicine, I look forward to further expanding my capabilities and contributing to the field with innovative and effective approaches to complex orthopedic problems.
