No word can express how FerrariLab Columbia University Columbia Surgery SUNY Downstate General Surgery Residency and the @Columbia community feel with the loss of our very own #PGYLab Erfan Faridmoayer, MD You ll be forever remembered. Thank you for saving one more life #organdonation #grogu #surgicalscience #residence #surgery

The saddest week of SUNY Downstate General Surgery Residency in recent memory has come to a close. Our PGY2 Erfan Faridmoayer, MD passed away peacefully after sudden cardiac arrest. His legacy of dedication, altruism, and excellence shines as a radiant beacon.

We are a dedicated team of neurosurgeons from the United States, committed to alleviating the suffering, promoting health, hope, and healing around the globe. We envision a world where every individual has access to quality neurosurgical care and support.  nsgfh.org

Meet Dr. Sherwin Tavakol, a 4th-year OUNS resident who sees neuroanatomy as more than science—it’s a calling to support patients in tough times. He says, “In darkness, the doctor’s role is to provide compassion.” Outside the OR, he enjoys cooking & OKC's food scene. #OUNS
