I was born, raised and educated in Cairo, Egypt. My Primary, Preparatory and Secondary (High School) education were all in a Private French School, College de la Salle (College des Freres), a Brother’s School in Cairo. All subject matter was taught in French. We also learned Arabic as a first language, French as a first foreign language and English as a second foreign language.  In short, by the age of 17, I was fluent in the three languages.

Along the way and over the years, having discovered an affinity for languages, I decided to learn, Italian and Spanish, and became quite fluent in those two languages.  There is also an ongoing project with Hebrew and German. 

In September 1967, I was admitted to Ain Shams Medical School at Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt. All subject matter was taught in English. During Medical School, I was awarded a Scholarship during my 4^th year. I Graduated in 1975 with Honors and an M.B.Ch.B. Degree (Bachelor of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery), which is the equivalent of an MD Degree in America. After a one year rotating internship in the university hospitals and 6 months in government service in a rural village of Egypt, I immigrated to the USA and landed in Buffalo, New York.

In Buffalo at Sister’s of Charity Hospital, I completed a 7-month rotating internship and 4 years in an Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency, culminating in the specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology.  I was Board Certified by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and then became a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG).

From there I went on to a very successful private practice in Lexington, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, where “the shot heard around the world" was fired.   I worked there from 1981 to 2001, affiliated with the Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, a Harvard University Hospital. I held a position of Clinical Instructor in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Biology. At the Mount Auburn Hospital, I pioneered the Techniques of Minimally Invasive Surgery, Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery, Laser Surgery and Laparoscopic Hysterectomies.  I was featured on Channel 7 TV Boston with Lester Strong in 1993.  Link to Video  Along the way, I practiced in other community hospitals. I was Chief of Gynecology at Symmes Hospital in Arlington, Massachusetts. I also provided Obstetrical Services to the patients of the famous Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Massachusetts, delivering their babies at the Mount Auburn Hospital.

In 2001 I moved with my wife to New London, New Hampshire, one and a half hours north of Boston.  There I practiced at New London Hospital, which eventually became part of the Dartmouth Hitchcock Alliance. At New London Hospital, I launched a program of Uro Dynamics for the Evaluation, Diagnosis and Treatment of patients with Urinary Stress Incontinence. At New London Hospital, I was the only physician in the State of New Hampshire using the innovative technology of Radio Frequency for the treatment of Urinary Stress Incontinence.

After 5 years in New Hampshire, and a total of more than 25 years in the Northeast, my wife of 30 years and I decided it was time to see the Southwest, and we moved to Alamogordo, New Mexico in September 2006. I practiced Obstetrics and Gynecology at Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center in Alamogordo, New Mexico for two years. Here again, I launched and started a new program for the Evaluation, Diagnosis and Treatment of women suffering from the disabling problem of Urinary Stress Incontinence, using the latest cutting edge technology available in America today.

Currently I am in Socorro, NM, practicing Obstetrics & Gynecology at Socorro General Hospital, part of the Presbyterian Health Care System.
