Day In The Life of a Dermatologist

[@anisamohammed8104]

I love how you don't take yourself too seriously and this def was not a boring video.

[@usamasyed]

Thank you!!

[@joshnova9163]

Terrific video. Great blend of irreverence, insight, and optimism. We are so fortunate to have empathic and compassionate physicians like him.

[@usamasyed]

Very kind of you to say!

[@samchocolatebar8825]

Omg this video legitimately made me tear. It has always been my dream to become a Dermatologist. I was really affected with my acne growing up and I think it’s one of the hardest things I’ve overcame. I also dream of living in NYC. You are truly an inspiration and I will follow you along your path! I am going to apply to medical schools this spring :)

[@usamasyed]

That’s to sweet to hear! Wishing you all the best on your journey!

[@mursalshahrestani7056]

This guy is awesome!!! Great personality and super lighthearted while getting his point across. Absolutely amazing work man!!🎉

[@dreamingofmickey]

Oh man. It’s so refreshing to see a doctor acknowledge hydradinitis suppurativa. I was diagnosed with it a few years ago after horrible symptoms for so long. It took two dermatologists to finally get the diagnosis and get mine under control. What a horrific condition.

[@usamasyed]

It’s such a poorly understood condition, and carries so many misconceptions that those with the condition have to deal with! I actually specifically want to do a whole video about it very soon, so keep your eyes on the channel for that!

[@munazzasharfuddin]

🤣 love your sense of humour, definitely made my Monday! It’s a delight to be subscribed to yours & Shireen’s channels. I’d love to see more daily routines and experiences in NYC. Thanks for sharing this with us Usama and I wish you all the best! May Allah give you barakah in all your endeavours.

[@usamasyed]

Such a sweet comment, Munazza, thank you! It makes my Monday to hear things like this. inshAllah will be sharing much much more, including joint videos with Shirin!

[@kellye.5678]

This video is so positive I love it 😭 I love how optimistic you are and how you describe Central Park. I’ve lived in queens and visited Manhattan frequently since I was born and it’s nice but I never really appreciated it that much. New York is just so expensive. Unless you have a lucrative job it’s financially stressful. I was thinking of moving but I can’t see myself away from family and friends. It’s nice to see others really enjoying New York life though

[@axolotolololol]

moved from my hometown in NY more than 10 years ago, and now am currently studying for the usmle in hopes that one day, I too, can be grateful of the little girl’s dreams of working as a doctor in NY.

[@axolotolololol]

*your video just reminded me to keep going! :’)

[@alaamalik2121]

Salam! Recently subscribed but really enjoyed this video! As a med student considering derm, this was very insightful! I would love to see more videos on your life in NYC, tips for matching into competitive specialties, and why you chose derm (and what other specialties you were deciding between and how you ultimately decided).

[@usamasyed]

Walaikumassalam! Will definitely add those to my list! 🙌🏼

[@bullholder]

Amazing vlog. You (and Shireen!) are both examples of how you can make it in America against all the odds. Mashallah. I'm still in UK medical school but I am also going down this pathway and seeing you guys post advice and show how practicing medicine can be different at consultant level to here, is such an inspiration and keeps me motivated. May Allah bless you with every success.

[@usamasyed]

Ameen, and to you too!!

[@Anonymous4ever]

You might not see this, but i want to be a dermatologist when im older and your video is very informative and inspiring (you also have a good sense of humour 😂) you make dermatology look very nice and it makes me want to do it even more despite all the years it takes. Thank you :)

You would be a great dermatologist to rely on. there's no doubt you are very personable and take your time with your patients. It's very off putting to go to a doctor of any kind who is always in a hurry. A lot of times because of this I write my questions down before I go. I appreciate the fact that you don't stay on the computer when visiting with your patients. I had a specialist to do that once and I heard the same thing from others about him. He kept his back turned towards me while he was on that computer pretty much the entire visit. Never went back. Your office reflects your personality. FUN! BTW, your wife is very beautiful.
