​Refugee, Dishwasher, Heart Doctor 
My story of pursuing the American Dream and recreating it for everyone.

My journey started from washing dishes as a Syrian Kurdish refugee in 2001 to treating heart disease as an American cardiologist today. The American people invested in the success of my family and America gave us a home and the foundation to pursue our American Dream.
