Great having @ShadiYaghi2 with us today! Always valuable to exchange ideas, build friendships, and push the field forward We may not have converted him from the Celtics, but getting him into an SGA jersey was a good start 😂 Thanks for making the trip! @OU_Neurosurgery
Thank you @UofOklahoma for hosting me at the annual stroke symposium. It was so great to connect with the team & tour their clinical & research facilities. You made this Boston Celtics fan smile while wearing an OKC Thunder SGA jersey! @HakeemShakirMD @Faddi_Saleh_MD #stroke

Will Kennedy lived with Chiari malformation pain for 15 years. With God's grace, I am grateful to help him find relief and to work alongside Dr. @NicholasSader in our @OU_Neurosurgery Chiari Clinic. Humbled to be part of his care. ouhealth.com/blog/2026/july/…
