From a young age, Dr. Abubaker Hassan’s fascination with medicine was nurtured by his mother, a devoted teacher who guided his love for reading and biology toward a career path. Witnessing his father’s struggle with end-stage kidney disease opened his eyes to the practical aspects of medicine and the profound impact it can have on patients and their families.
As a board-certified critical care and lung physician, Dr. Hassan brings a holistic approach to patient care, recognizing the importance of teamwork and tailored treatments. Having practiced medicine on three continents – Africa, where he was born and trained; Asia, where he refined his skills, and now North America, where he has developed a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and healthcare systems. This global perspective makes Dr. Hassan more flexible and attuned to listening and understanding, regardless of creed or background.
Dr. Hassan finds joy in family life, with a loving spouse and three children. Soccer remains a passion of mine, offering a welcome balance to the demands of my profession. He volunteers with the Sudanese American Physician Association, contributing to knowledge sharing and capacity building initiatives in his homeland.
