Dr. Rehman’s Story

 

Your visit has been more than 20 years in the making.

 

“I am a life-long student of merging arts with science. My academic background in medicine started in 2005, which taught me to balance the physiology of the human body and the chemistry of kind touch to put patients on the road to recovery. I believe in treating each patient individually and providing personalized care.”

“I thank you for lending me your time to share my story, the story of a multi-ethnic Asian individual who learned to be sensitive in heart, strong in resolve, and flexible in life as he lived on three continents. With a decade of academic research and clinical experience, I relocated to Northern Virginia, close to family. This marked the inception of District Endocrine, an endeavor dedicated to offering cutting-edge, personalized endocrine care to the local community.”
