Omer Junaidi, MD is a Board Certified Transplant Hepatologist practicing at Texas Transplant Institutes Liver Disease and Transplant Hepatology Program at Methodist Hospital | Specialty and Transplant. When Dr. Junaidi started medical school at age 19 (which is not unusual in Pakistan where medical school begins after high school), he was sure he wanted to practice emergency medicine. In his senior year, he traveled to the United States as a visiting student, where he would have to complete a gastroenterology rotation at Northwestern University in Chicago before the ER rotation began at Harvard the following month. But after the first week in the ER, Dr. Junaidi knew it wasnt right for him. "What I missed was the patient follow-up, the rapport you develop with patients. I realized quickly how important that was to me," says Dr. Junaidi. Dr. Junaidi received his MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) from Dow Medical College, University of Karachi in Karachi, Pakistan in 2000. He subsequently completed a research fellowship at Freedman Laboratory, Division of Gastroenterology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center at Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts.

Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiologist Dr. Phillip Habib is Board Certified in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology and Cardiovascular Disease. He is part of Texas Transplant Institutes Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplant program at Methodist Heart Hospital. Dr. Habib grew up spending time in an echocardiography lab with his father, an interventional cardiologist, feeding him chocolate. He scrubbed in to watch his first bypass surgery when he was in the eighth grade. It’s no wonder, then, that Dr. Habib chose to pursue a career in cardiology. “I fell in love with cardiac physiology and pathophysiology,” he says. But, unlike his father, it was the field of advanced heart failure and cardiac transplant that would become his passion. Dr. Habib graduated magna cum laude from the BaccMed program at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio. He completed his medical degree at Northeast Ohio Medical University in Rootstown, Ohio. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio and a fellowship in echocardiography at University of Pittsburgh-Cardiovascular Institute in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he also served as an attending hospitalist in the Department of Medicine at UPMC-Presbyterian and clinical instructor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School.

Eric Treat, MD is a Kidney Transplant Surgeon and Urologist with the Kidney Transplant Program at Texas Transplant Institute at Methodist Hospital | Specialty and Transplant. Dr. Treats journey to the largest live donor kidney transplant program in the country has taken an unusual route-one that directed him to his ultimate passion and focus-outstanding patient care. From studying music composition in Colorado, teaching English in Japan, working as a baker, playing in world music groups in Indonesia and eventually to medical school in New Mexico, Dr. Treats remarkable background built the foundation for his true vocation. Initially considering vascular surgery based on his desire to work with people, his love for biology and his need to do something technical with his hands, Dr. Treats ultimate calling was an unexpected surprise. “The first case I saw during my urology rotation was a kidney transplant. And thats when it all made sense,” he says. Dr. Treat knew quickly that what he wanted to do was perform living donor nephrectomies in a high-volume center. He completed his medical degree at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in Albuquerque. Dr. Treat completed his internship in general surgery and his residency in urology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). He served as an international volunteer in urology (IVUMed) travel medicine scholar in Dakar, Senegal between his internship and residency. Dr. Treat completed his fellowship through the American Society of Transplant Surgeons in the Department of Urology at UCLAs David Geffen School of Medicine where he also completed a clinical research fellowship in the Division of Nephrology. Dr. Treat is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Medical Association, New Mexico Medical Association, American Urologic Association, American College of Surgeons and American Society of Transplant Surgeons.
