His outpatient clinic is in The Kidney Institute located in Scurlock Tower on Fannin Street in the Texas Medical Center. He also has privileges in many Houston based dialysis units.
The doctor's acclaimed career in medicine began after he earned his medical degree from the American University of Beirut Faculty of Medicine in Lebanon in 1988.
