About Dr. Ghaith Khair

**PLEASE NOTE: A TEAM MEMBER WILL CONFIRM YOUR APPOINTMENT AFTER VERIFYING YOUR INSURANCE** Dr. Khair joined Long Island Laparoscopic Doctors in November 2019, coming from Saint Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, where he completed a fellowship in Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery in one of the busiest programs in the state of Maryland. During the fellowship, Dr. Khair performed over 500 cases of laparoscopic, bariatric, and endoscopic procedures, including sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and revisional surgeries. He trained in robotic surgery during his fellowship, obtaining special certification to use the da Vinci robot system. He also gained experience in foregut surgery (the treatment of esophageal and gastric diseases) and is trained to perform laparoscopic hiatal hernia repairs and Nissen fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux. Dr. Khair earned his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1998 from the University of Jordan Faculty of Medicine. He then pursued a career in general surgery in the United Kingdom, where he completed three years of surgical training and obtained membership of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (MRCS). He was later appointed as a Research Fellow at the Academic Surgical Unit at the University of Hull, UK, where he completed a three-year research project investigating new methods of diagnosing colon cancer using a novel tumor marker. His research was published and presented at international medical journals and meetings of high standard. Dr. Khair moved to the United States in 2008 and completed his general surgery residency in 2013 at the University of Illinois, Chicago, Metropolitan Group Hospitals Program. He was then employed by Pemiscot Memorial Health Systems in Missouri as a general surgeon in 2014, where he served for almost five years. Dr. Khair is a warm and compassionate physician who was inspired to enter the field of medicine by his father, also a noted physician.
