PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I’m a gastroenterology consultant with more than two decades of experience, currently working in Medcare Hospital as Head of Department in Gastroenterology and Hepatology since October 2009. I had completed Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Medicine in Romania, and was qualified for the Jordan Board Certificate in Gastroenterology. I have worked at Luliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Romania as well as in Rashid Hospital in Dubai. Moreover, I was a lecturer in the Department of Medicine at Dubai Medical College.

I am the first gastroenterologist in the Middle East to introduce the new, painless non invasive procedure which is the most advanced, and effective treatment for acid reflux patients with a disposable and sophisticated device called GerdX which is exclusively introduced to Medcare Hospital by G-Surg, a German medical solutions provider . In December 2020, I have performed the UAE’s first endoscopic fundoplication procedure to treat Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). This state-of-the-art treatment frees GERD patients from the effects of long-term dependence on proton pump inhibitors (PPI). I am performing endoscopy of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, doing ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography), USS (ultrasonography) and EUS (endoscopic ultrasound) procedures.

I have participated in a number of professional associations such as the Emirates Society of Gastroenterology, the Jordan Society of Gastroenterology, the Romanian Society of Gastroenterology, the Romanian Society of Endoscopy, the Romanian Society Ultrasonography, the European Society of Ultrasonography and the European Society of Endoscopic Ultrasonography to stay abreast with my field.

Brief on presentation:

There are several instances in life that cause us anxiety and depressed mood. While this is a normal reaction to stressful situations, excessive worry or fear and ongoing mood problems can become debilitating. Such situations could indicate a clinical condition such as anxiety disorders or major depression.

Being in the medical profession, we come across patients with a variety of health issues. Many health issues are not just physical but psychological. For example, patients with anxiety and panic can display physical symptoms that imitate cardiac problems. Likewise, after a heart attack or stroke, one may experience secondary anxiety and depression, which can negatively impact recovery and engagement with treatment.

Studies have noted the prevalence of stress in primary care or a physician’s clinic as high; about 60–80% of visits may have a stress-related component and may manifest as physical symptoms or psychological or psychiatric symptoms.

In the wake of pandemics and restrictions, we a seen a surge of new mental health episodes and worsening of preexisting conditions. Mental health illness has come to the forefront, and receiving due attention, can no longer be ignored. A full blow mental health crisis is looming upon us.
