Get to Know Me
In his free time, Dr. Abu-Mahfouz enjoys being with his family, whether it’s watching a movie, trying a new restaurant, or visiting relatives in Jordan. His visits to Jordan are especially meaningful because it gives him the chance to reconnect with his roots and spend quality time together. After years of studying medicine and now managing a busy career, he treasures these moments more than ever. If he weren’t a physician, he’d probably be a high school math teacher. He loves mathematics for its puzzle-like challenges, where logical thinking and established principles lead to answers.
Dr. Abu-Mahfouz chose medicine to combine his problem-solving mindset with his passion for helping patients. He finds fulfillment in using evidence-based treatments to help patients overcome complex conditions and achieve better outcomes. He describes interventional cardiology as a dynamic field where he treats patients in both the outpatient clinic and the hospital, often in life-and-death situations. When asked about a memorable case, he said, "One case I’ll never forget is a middle-aged patient who came in during a heart attack. Her heart stopped during the procedure for 10 minutes, but we were able to open the blockage, and she made a full recovery." His job is challenging, but outcomes like this remind him why he loves what he does.
While he loves the procedural side of cardiology, performing minimally invasive treatments on extremely sick patients, Dr. Abu-Mahfouz also values the outpatient setting, where he can sit with patients and form connections—relationships that are the foundation of quality care. He takes pride in the trust his patients place in him and the strong relationships he’s built over the years. 'Every team member in the clinic, from the medical assistances to the receptionists and manager, play a vital role in creating an environment where patients feel truly valued and cared for,' he says. Their support allows him to focus on delivering the best possible care. For Dr. Abu-Mahfouz, a clinic should be more than just a place of care—it should be a community. He believes the most important part of patient care is building trust and fostering genuine connections, ensuring his patients feel supported, understood, and truly cared for.
