About me
Welcome. I am Dr. Husain.
I'm glad to have the opportunity to present my credentials to you and share other information about myself. It's very important that you feel comfortable with your personal physician, and I hope this page will help you get to know me.
Biography
I have lived in many different countries all over the world, on both coasts of the United States as well as in the Midwest. This has afforded me the opportunity and privilege to interact with people of many different nationalities and cultures. I went into the field of medicine because I wanted to combine my interest in science with my desire to meaningfully affect someone else's life in a positive manner. Who could ask for a better career? I went to UC Irvine for my undergraduate degree and then attended medical school at George Washington University in Washington, DC. I completed my fellowship in gastroenterology and hepatology from UC Irvine in 2002. Shortly thereafter, I joined Kaiser Permanente. I feel very fortunate to work at Kaiser Permanente because this organization allows me to practice medicine in a supportive environment that fosters ongoing education and learning.
About my practice
In my practice, I try to make every effort to explain everything you need to know about your condition, treatment, and medications. I truly believe that if you are educated about your condition, you are better able to participate in your own healthcare. I also ask that you do your part in your treatment program by complying with your prescribed treatment, medications, and follow-up visits. I make every attempt possible to keep up with the latest medical literature so that the care we provide for you here at Kaiser Permanente is high-quality and based on current evidence and research. I also emphasize the importance of holistic care, which includes nutrition, exercise, and mental well-being.
How I thrive
I’m passionate about my career, but my family always comes first. We enjoy traveling the world and learning about different cultures. We are all very health conscious, and hiking is my favorite activity. I participate in medical missions every year because "the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
