I consider myself fortunate to have spent my educational lifetime in public schools. I attended Audubon Charter, Roosevelt Middle School and Bonnabel High.
As a physician, I founded Ochsner’s Department of Pain Management, a successful medical practice that has been recognized multiple times as one of the top healthcare organizations in the nation.

Ultimately, your ability to push yourself is a better judge of what you will achieve than your circumstances or environment.
