From Surgeon to Healthcare Innovator
Bridging Clinical Practice & Innovation
As an ENT, Head & Neck, and Skull Base Surgeon, I am deeply committed to patient care. However, I recognized that the challenges in healthcare—scalability, accessible innovation, and cost-effective advancements—demand more than clinical expertise. They require a doctor with an entrepreneurial mindset to bridge medicine, technology, and business.
Transitioning from a structured clinical practice to the dynamic world of startups required a fundamental shift in mindset. I had to master business strategies, regulatory landscapes, and market dynamics, all while ensuring that innovations remained patient-centric and clinically relevant.
The Missing Link: Doctor Entrepreneurs
Many health-tech startups fail because they lack a doctor entrepreneur—someone who understands both clinical needs and business realities. Healthcare is unlike any other industry, with 75% of startups failing within two years due to challenges in clinical validation, regulatory approvals, and investor confidence.
