Kaiser Hussain MD

I was born in Chicago, Illinois where I spent the early part of my childhood. My family and I moved while I was in the fourth grade and after a brief stint in Texas, we settled in New Jersey. After I graduated high school I decided to go abroad for my medical education and ultimately received my MD from Baqai Medical University in Karachi, Pakistan. Shortly after returning home, I was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug and along with the help of family and friends, built a startup that I am still avidly involved in today. Prior to starting my residency I was a researcher at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. I did my preliminary year in internal medicine at the Nassau University Medical Center in Long Island. Outside of work I enjoy swimming, scuba diving, and website development.
