🎉 A Remarkable Milestone: Dr El-Hayek Completes 1,000 Da Vinci Robotic Surgeries 🤖
This achievement is far more than a number as it reflects years of dedication, compassion and precision. It is the outcomes that place Dr. El Hayek above the 5th percentile benchmark nationally for efficiency and results. A powerful affirmation of a promise made to every patient: to pursue the safest path, the best outcome, and the highest standard of care.
A message from Dr. El-Hayek:
This month, I share a milestone that carries both weight and wonder. Since embracing robotic surgery in 2008, 1,000 patients have placed their trust in my hands.
I am humbled to stand above the 5th percentile benchmark in the United States in outcomes and efficiency.
As I look ahead, my heart turns homeward. It is my hope and mission to bring this advanced level of care to Lebanon not in place of my practice in the United States, but in addition to it. With esteemed physicians in Lebanon, we are working to expand access to world-class surgical care without ever compromising my ongoing commitment to the patients and community I serve in the U.S.
To my patients, colleagues, mentors, and team members thank you. This milestone is a shared achievement, born from trust, collaboration, and a belief that healing is both an art and a calling.
