About Me

I have been a heart surgeon for over two decades and absolutely love sunny Florida. My wife and I are ‘empty nesters’ and spend our time between work and visiting our three children who are spread all over the globe. I am originally from Pakistan so I often visit the Tahir Heart Institute a charitable foundation hospital in central Punjab, Pakistan, where I do congenital Cardiac Surgery on a regular basis.

I always felt that as a surgeon, one rides on the parents’ trust. Some of my most difficult cases have turned into joyful successes, thanks to the prayers, trust and relationship with the parents. It is this mutual trust and respect that makes my job so gratifying. I have encouraged parents to this partnership, educating them in the pathology and the care of our ‘mutual’ child
