In Dr. Medhat’s words
What made you become a physician?
As a child, I admired my pediatrician and enjoyed visiting his clinic. That experience drew me to pediatrics. I value watching children grow and making a positive difference that can stay with them into adulthood.
Where did you go to school?
I went to a British private school called St. Georges in Cairo, Egypt.
What would you do for a living if you weren’t a doctor?
I love the field of marketing and innovating new products.
What makes you different from other doctors in your practice?
I care for the whole child, beyond the immediate medical problem. I keep learning so I can help my patients in the best possible way.
