My Journey: From North Africa to New Jersey

The Foundation Years: Leading Rehabilitation in North Africa (10+ Years)

My career began in 1985 at the largest rehabilitation hospital in North Africa, where I served as Lead Supervisor overseeing multidisciplinary teams. This high-volume environment exposed me to countless knee-related conditions:

Complex post-surgical rehabilitation following knee replacements and ACL reconstructions
Sports-related knee injuries in professional soccer, basketball, and track athletes
Degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis affecting the knee joint
Trauma cases including knee fractures and ligament injuries
Geriatric knee conditions and pediatric developmental issues

This experience taught me to innovate under pressure while maintaining compassionate, patient-centered care.
