Here鈥檚 what you won鈥檛 find on his resume.

Being a doctor was always his dream.

鈥淎s a teenager, I dreamed of becoming a cardiac surgeon. I knew I wanted to be a doctor, from an early age. I was gradually attracted to the field of surgery. I believed that surgery was the most efficient way to help others. My mom was an elementary school teacher, and I attended school with her, even before officially starting first grade. She was instrumental in structuring a lot of things in my mind, including my love to help others!鈥�

He鈥檚 busy at work and at home.

鈥漌hen I鈥檓 not working, I鈥檓 hanging out with my beautiful wife and son. My son is keeping me pretty busy, with all the activities we are doing together, and I enjoy every moment.鈥�

Nostalgia ties him to his favorite travel destination.

鈥淢y favorite travel destination is the northern part of Iran. It鈥檚 just amazing. It鈥檚 super green, and the beaches are lovely. I vividly remember all the good memories and moments we had there with family and friends. If I鈥檓 confined to just America, I have a love for Hawaii. Who doesn鈥檛?鈥�

This is the secret to his success.

鈥淭he best piece of advice I ever received was to treat patients not just the disease!鈥�

Seeing you smile is the best part of his job.

鈥淓very day I鈥檓 inspired to be the best physician I can be, because I get to touch the lives of my patients who are fighting cancer, and I get to inspire students at all levels through teaching. The most rewarding part of it all is when I get to see my patients smile!鈥�

He鈥檚 at the forefront of cutting-edge research.

鈥淚鈥檓 very active in clinical and translational studies. One of the projects that I鈥檓 quite excited about is the first randomized trial using biologic mesh to prevent hernias after cystectomy and ileal conduit.鈥�

Keck Medicine is his home.

鈥淚鈥檓 quite passionate about working in teams, which is a must, in an academic medical center. We are committed to research that鈥檚 conducted both at 喵咪社区 Urology and the 喵咪社区 Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. What sets the treatment at Keck Medicine apart from other institutions is the excellence and professionalism at all levels. We provide high-quality care, in a great atmosphere, with nice and experienced partners and staff 鈥� from the physician assistants to the nurses and beyond.鈥�
