It can be hard opening up to someone new - get to know me a little.
Introducing Me
COACHING, ONCOLOGY
It was during this time that I was encouraged to go to Texas and pursue a degree in pediatrics oncology, however, the death of a 6-month-old girl from leukemia caused me to resign from pediatric training and focus on becoming an adult oncologist.
During my training at Baylor Scott and White Memorial Hospital Texas A&M in Temple, Texas, I was able to spend significant time caring for US veterans, who trusted me after I learned from their heroic pasts.
I went on training in internal medicine hematology, medical oncology and bone marrow transplant at Medical City Dallas. Once fully board certified in internal medicine and medical oncology, I began working at Texas Oncology.
Alex Ehsan, MD PhD
I am a highly trained cancer specialist who studied medicine at La Universidad Central del Este in the Dominican Republic. After, I pursued a doctorate degree in alternative medicine as I worked alongside the physicians at Medicos sin Frontera or Doctors Without Borders missionaries.
It was during this time that I uncovered my true passion: to serve people while I raised my 3 boys alongside my wife. I kept track of thousands of patients and was one of the most sought after oncologists in Texas.
The storm of my life was around the time of the pandemic, where the loss of my mother followed by the loss of my home due to a freeze and flooding, along with Covid related health issues led to resignation from US Oncology in May 2022.
I went on a spiritual sabbatical, reading hundreds of books and spending much time in deep, personal reflection. During this time, I was approached by many professionals - including doctors, lawyers and CEOs - who entrusted me with their most severe mental issues. Many knew me from over two decades of practicing medicine- many had entrusted their lives and the lives of their loved ones to my care. This is why most that reached out to me entrusted me while they were at the brink of suicide from various overwhelming life events.
Although I needed some time away from the field, the field still needed me, so after ongoing insistence from doctors and patients, I accepted a position in Los Angeles as a cancer specialist with The Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation, where I reside today.
Even though I have resumed my oncology work, I have not stopped my passion of providing personal care to anyone who needs it - cancer or not. After noticing many professionals who have been unable to go and seek psychological help because of the worry of losing their licenses, I now dedicate a portion of my time to life-coaching these professionals as I continue to juggle work, kids and life.
