A Day in the Life….
I actually love my job. There are many facets and aspects to it. No two days are the same. It’s challenging, it’s rewarding, and it’s enthralling. I thought it would be fun to take you through a few of the many places I frequent on a daily basis. I hope to show you exactly what it is that I do day to day. It’s more varied than most assume, I think. With that in mind, here’s a few of my favorite places, in no particular order ;)
20455 Lorain Rd Suite 303, Fairview Park, OH
(216) 252 8000
Welcome to my home. My base of operations. My safe space and my abode. This is where my trusty desk and computer reside. It’s where my degrees rest on the walls. It’s where I get things done.
Naturally, I’m not in the office every day, but my schedule quickly fills when I am available. Because of the nature of my job, it’s necessary for me to tour other facilities as well as keep office hours to service all kinds of patients with a variety of needs. When I’m in the office, it’s typically with patients for whom I serve as their Primary Care Provider. These are my people. I perform everything from routine check-ups and physicals, to diagnostic medicine, to wound treatment, and on through medication management. Of course, I’m most partial to the office. It’s where it all began and where it will continue. My staff and I have built something great in Fairview Park. We’re proud of it. If you’re in need of a PCP, or you just think I’m cool, contact me here.
East Park Retirement Community
East Park is a multi-service community located in Brook Park. They provide a ton of services there, including a Skilled Nursing & Rehab unit, a Memory Care and Assisted Living unit, and an Independent Living unit. It’s deep set in a residential community amongst trees and foliage. It’s very welcoming, as are the patients and staff. I hardly shut up about them, and with good reason. I’m at East Park at least once per week, if not more, helping out in a variety of ways. I assist in primary care in the Skilled Nursing and Rehab faction, as well as check in on routine patients of mine in Assisted and Independent living units. All in all, Dr Shahed and I just crested 60 patients in this facility. I’ve built an awesome relationship with the staff there and I’m happy to head over to Brook Park to help them. It's one of my favorite places :)
I typically venture to the ASC in Westlake at least once per week as well. I enjoy my time there because the staff and my fellow colleagues are great, but also because it offers me practice in a different set of skills. The ASC is a beautiful Premier Physicians Facility that is well-equipped to handle out-patient procedures. Basically, any procedure that can be handled outside of a hospital but still requires clinical support will be hatched here. We perform everything from cataract lens replacement to minor surgery at this locale. I assist in a multitude of functions when I visit the ASC which is the main reason I love it! I’m able to branch out, observe different procedures, and assist in ways that I typically don't at the office. It’s fulfilling and it’s encouraging to see our Premier group physicians at work.
So, here’s the crazy thing. I’ve left out more than I’ve included. To be honest, I didn’t want to write and have you read an 11,000 word essay on all of the shenanigans I’m a part of from day to day. Far too many shenanigans to recount. However, I hope it gives you some perspective as to how I fill my time. I’m rarely static. I’m running from here to there, gleaning speeding tickets and friends.
To be honest, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
