About Me
As a transplant surgeon, I specialize in organ procurement and donor management. I completed my transplant surgery fellowship at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, so it’s a pleasure to continue working and growing as a surgeon here. I’m excited to delve into more clinical outcomes research to improve transplant surgical techniques as well as expand the donor pool and extend organ preservation. In addition, I welcome the chance to mentor medical students, residents and fellows in surgical and transplant education.
It’s clear that Ohio State has an excellent work environment that allows for easy collaboration. I’m proud to work at an academic medical center with a top-performing transplant program, ranked in the top 10 for patient volume in the U.S.
In my free time, I enjoy watching sports, seeing a movie and spending time with family and friends.

Consulting and Related Relationships

In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.

Informative and kind
Very good
Listen very well
He is excellent.
My care was excellent
I didn't feel that the doctor had much knowledge of my medical history and recent issues. He only focused upon one echo test and was not very encouraging about my possibilities for a kidney transplant. He assumed that I am quite weak and State that, when I have gotten much stronger and healthier during the past year. He really did not give a chance to speak about my exercise routine and weight loss.
He was more worried about my weight and I felt discrimination against me
All good
Did not seem to understand the next steps in my treatment without prompts from me.
All good
Dr Alebrahim was a fantastic surgeon. My recovery has been amazing and I attribute a lot of that to his careful hand during surgery.
Very I formative
