Dr. Walid Alhoussan is well-known across Canada as a family physician with unique interest and specialty in ENT (ear, nose, and throat). He is the owner of his private practice, as well as someone who is a philanthropist regularly.
Walid Alhoussan and His Practice
The practice as a family physician is where Dr. Alhoussan holds his pride and joy; his patients. As a family physician in the Ottawa, Ontario area, he owns and runs the Vitality Health and Cosmetic Clinic. In addition, he is an emergency physician on an as-needed basis at the Maniwaki General Hospital.
The Maniwaki General Hospital is an area where there are many underserved patients. He helps and dedicates his work to these people, who need health care, but may not have the easiest access to it.
Making His Mark Through the Years
With over two decades of experience in medicine, Dr. Alhoussan was a valedictorian of his high school class. He also earned a Masters in Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery in 1989 from the Damascus Medical School. When he went to Damascus for ENT training, he was chosen as one of six from a pool of 600 applicants. He is truly one-of-a-kind.
He learned his trade practicing under Professor Louis Trainssac at the University of Bordeaux in France. He then made the move to Canada and Family Medicine earning a degree in 2006 from Laval University in Quebec City, QC.
He holds a license in both Ontario as well as Quebec to practice medicine. Speaker of three languages (Arabic, English, and French), he can manage a very busy medical center and create personal connections no matter who enters.
Philanthropist First Approach
Dr. Alhoussan has a philanthropy-first approach to assisting with what he knows of family medicine. His ENT specialty allows him to assist in the Maniwaki, QC area. These are folks who so desperately need medicinal experts, but the supply of such professionals is quite lacking.
He engages in charity yearly. He frequents donations to the Red Cross, local firefighters, the Ottawa police, refugees, food banks, and the Humane Society, as well as efforts to help fight diabetes and cardiac diseases. He also sponsors orphans internationally in Africa and Syria.
Dr. Alhoussan continues to be one of the most amazing doctors Canada has to offer. He helps individuals through the good times and bad, providing care with his ENT specialty when they are in need. For this, anyone who comes across him for care is eternally grateful.
