About

Dr. Al-Hashimi received his undergraduate training in Biologic Science at the University of California, Irvine where he graduated with honors. He went to medical school at the Medical College of Virginia, finishing at the top of his class and being elected into the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society.

During his ophthalmology residency at the Boston University Medical Center, his interest in cornea and refractive surgery grew.
