I love how you don't take yourself too seriously and this def was not a boring video.
Thank you!!
Terrific video. Great blend of irreverence, insight, and optimism. We are so fortunate to have empathic and compassionate physicians like him.
Very kind of you to say!
Omg this video legitimately made me tear. It has always been my dream to become a Dermatologist. I was really affected with my acne growing up and I think it’s one of the hardest things I’ve overcame. I also dream of living in NYC. You are truly an inspiration and I will follow you along your path! I am going to apply to medical schools this spring :)
That’s to sweet to hear! Wishing you all the best on your journey!
love the way you are so humble , and still remembering allah in peak of success . your praying scene was heart touching
Thank you! All success comes only from God!
Wow. I loved the ending so much. So much gratitude. No wonder ur vibe is amazing
Ahh thank you!
🤣 love your sense of humour, definitely made my Monday! It’s a delight to be subscribed to yours & Shireen’s channels. I’d love to see more daily routines and experiences in NYC. Thanks for sharing this with us Usama and I wish you all the best! May Allah give you barakah in all your endeavours.
Such a sweet comment, Munazza, thank you! It makes my Monday to hear things like this. inshAllah will be sharing much much more, including joint videos with Shirin!
This video is so positive I love it 😭 I love how optimistic you are and how you describe Central Park. I’ve lived in queens and visited Manhattan frequently since I was born and it’s nice but I never really appreciated it that much. New York is just so expensive. Unless you have a lucrative job it’s financially stressful. I was thinking of moving but I can’t see myself away from family and friends. It’s nice to see others really enjoying New York life though
You’re so presence is so genuine and lighthearted mashaAllah. I’m a first year med student who is also interested in derm and you are a such a big inspiration to me.
Thank you brother for your educational channel, thanks to this I began to take care of my skin. Keep making videos and educating people!
Bro this was SO GOOD! The B-Roll, humour, music and even the switching of tone from humour to gratitude, loved it! Made me wanna book my flight over 👀✈️
Thanks bro!! Really appreciate the feedback - means a lot from you! (But man… it takes SO long 😂 now I know what you mean when you talk about spending weeks on videos!!)
@@usamasyed Believe me it’s no joke! 😅
Thank you for being the beacon of light to those who are following in your journey and also to those of us who are at the complete opposite end of the spectrum.
I am very proud of both you and your lovely wife, its thanks to her that I even saw this lol
Keep spreading the ocean of wisdom and waves of humour.
Sending greetings and gratitude from Namibia 🇳🇦
This was incredible.. so informative. I’m in awe of people like you who desire-then strive get to their dream.
I’m watching all your videos.. I learn something every time.
Thank you for all you do💕
Thank you!!
Oh man. It’s so refreshing to see a doctor acknowledge hydradinitis suppurativa. I was diagnosed with it a few years ago after horrible symptoms for so long. It took two dermatologists to finally get the diagnosis and get mine under control. What a horrific condition.
It’s such a poorly understood condition, and carries so many misconceptions that those with the condition have to deal with! I actually specifically want to do a whole video about it very soon, so keep your eyes on the channel for that!
I do love this VDO & your sense of humor! Living a dream life, it's really inspire me ❤ Thanks
Thank you!!
Your video just popped up on my recommended! That was a lovely surprise! I'm so glad to see you're doing well!
Loved the video and love your sense of humor! Doctors do a lot of unseen work and I'm glad you gave us a glimpse of your life. Have to agree with you, you are living in the best city in the world!
Thank you!! And that’s the truth 🙌🏼🗽
Loved the insight & learned a lot about dermatologists. Great sense of humor! Wish you & Shirin all the very best! Always inspired by you both and especially those working in the field of medicine
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed the video 🙌🏼
Your day seems to be so much fun ma shaa Allah!!!!
Both you and Shireen always take time to reflect. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
This was such a fun quirky video I love how you bring out your personality in your content 😂👏🏾 I really enjoyed watching this and would love to see more in the future 🤗
Thank you!!
Wow! This video made me a lot more motivated. Well, my answer is better than expected. Much love to both of you!
Thank you!!
Love your sense of humor and how you balance faith within your life. Could you please make a video of how you became a dermatologist especially has an IMG. It's already hard enough to do this as a U.S. grad, but getting a spot as an IMG is so impressive mA.
Thank you! I’ve actually done an article about this subject on www.LibertyMedics.com that you might find useful!
This was such a good video! I’d love to know more on why you choose dermatology as your specialization after med school. I’m a first year human kinetics student and I’m contemplating whether to go to chiro school or go to med school and be a cosmetic dermatologist. I really appreciate to know your reasons and what the process was like to getting there!
OMG! I’m a Mexican medicine student! I really enjoy this video! How awesome things can be in another country and actually one of my favorites! Already a new subscriber!😌🙌🏼
Ahh that’s very kind of you, thank you!!
Your sense of humor is on point. Cheers Dr!
Thank you!!
Loved the video/vlog!! Please make more day in the life of docs videos! love them🥰❤️
Will do!!
Salam! Recently subscribed but really enjoyed this video! As a med student considering derm, this was very insightful! I would love to see more videos on your life in NYC, tips for matching into competitive specialties, and why you chose derm (and what other specialties you were deciding between and how you ultimately decided).
Walaikumassalam! Will definitely add those to my list! 🙌🏼
aw i love all the gratitude throughout this video! mashallah! 🤩
Hahaa gratitude is super important!
You are a true hero
Found your channel once as I've struggled with sebderm (scalp and face) and eczema (everywhere lol). Then I found you again via Ali Abdaal. I appreciate you candidness and gratitude.
All the best Doc....May Almighty bless you both
This is hilarious! A doc w/ a great sense of humor. Cheers from london
such a charismatic personality
As a medical student in the UK you inspire me to dream big! Proof that with hard work anything is possible
That’s very sweet to hear! keep up the hard work 💪🏽
I have just started binge watching your videos and i must say i love how creative your videos are & absolutely love your sarcasm 🤩 wish you were more consistent w your uploads :(
Your wish will come true!! I now have an editor and will be doing a video once every 2 weeks at least! 🙌🏼 thank you for your kind words!
@@usamasyedhahahaha what was that about bimonthly?
Loved how informative and light hearted this was!!
Please please try and be more consistent with your TH-cam videos! Your channel is one of my favs but we don’t see enough vids:(
Thank you!! And I will be now, got an editor who’s amazing so will be posting once every 2 weeks at least 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@usamasyed yaaaay super excited!! Would love to see a video on how to study efficiently for uni and post graduate exams
Really enjoyed this video! Keep them coming! Love from the UK🇬🇧
Thank you! Big love back to the UK!
I’m 100% in the future going to make appointment! I have a feeling that you will help a lot on my situation
Loved the video ! Your sense of humour turned my day around ! The comments about not being in surgery and flashing past people on your scooter 😂
Loved seeing Shirin aswell!
Looking forward to more content filled with medicine and jokes :)
hahaa thank you!! It makes it all worthwhile!!
Love watching you and your wife’s videos! Keep it up! 👍👍
Thank you!!
Enjoyed every bit of it💆🏼♀️
Thanks so much, Shaista!!
Love your humor!!!!Waiting to see more of your videos! 😄
They’ll be coming fast hopefully!!
Amazing vlog. You (and Shireen!) are both examples of how you can make it in America against all the odds. Mashallah. I'm still in UK medical school but I am also going down this pathway and seeing you guys post advice and show how practicing medicine can be different at consultant level to here, is such an inspiration and keeps me motivated. May Allah bless you with every success.
Ameen, and to you too!!
Love this! Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you!!
your funny personality is everything! i am currently a 16 year old in australia hoping to become a doctor and it’s also my dream to open up my own practice or work in new york, your reflection really motivated me because i think the dream of moving to new york all by myself is so unattainable and i tell myself dreams do not come true and becoming a doctor is so extremely difficult, but your words really did move me. hopefully one day i will get to live in new york too as a doctor. you got a new subscriber 😁 also i would like more day in the life videos since it is fascinating seeing how it is like being a dermatologist. thanks for this awesome video 🤩
Thanks for your kind comment! And keep chasing the dream - you’ll make it happen 💪🏽
Really good video with scenic views 👌and a nice sprinkling of humor👍
Thank you!
Loved the video 😍 well done 👏🏼
We need more of these , please 🙏🏻
Thank you!!
@@usamasyed all the way back, sir 🙏🏻
Loved this video😍 every bit of it was worth watching... And yes i m using retinol on your recommendation and i can clearly see the difference. Thankyou for sharing it all😊
Ahh both of those things make me so happy to hear!! 🙌🏼
Loved this video! Hopefully we'll be able to see more of these in the future. And yes this is kinda what I expected the daily work life of a dermatologist to look like except the jokes which were definitely entertaining 😂😂
Hahaa those were the bonus bits to make my life seem more fun 😉
Keep making Dermatology vlogs especially surgical procedures. I'm a dermatologist as well.
Loved this❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
I enjoyed this one very much ❤️❤️
Thank you!! Love hearing feedback like this!
Mashaallah, Alhamdollilah nice to know about your daily routine I am so proud of you May Allah fulfill all your dreams and keep you in Hifz o Aman
Ameen
Thank you mother!!
Got emotional there in the gratitude part of the video haha. I can’t wait to see more videos from you and hopefully some that include Shirin!
hahaa you and me both!! And will definitely persuade her to join me in some couples ones!
Hi. Great video. I’m looking forward to you doing a video/series about your journey to dermatology residency post-medical school, ie, your USMLE journey. I’m also an IMG and I’d be interested in that.
Amazing video 😊
moved from my hometown in NY more than 10 years ago, and now am currently studying for the usmle in hopes that one day, I too, can be grateful of the little girl’s dreams of working as a doctor in NY.
*your video just reminded me to keep going! :’)
You will make it happen!! 💪🏽
Awww the day was full of positivity and motivation 😭. Actually i am a first time viewer and this made me subscribed❤. Hehe i am in high school and wanna start med school after 2 years and seeing your USMLE journey makes me so motivated enough to do it. But i am doubting myself can i make it all the way to the US 🥺.
Wishing you the best on your journey! Why couldn’t you make it and others could? Believe 💪🏽
@@usamasyed Fell'n so blessed for the wishes and thanks doc. Had a simple question so i am struggling with phone addiction, did you use or have used the forest app or apps lkke flipdd for studying?
This is UNREAL! Sick video 🙏🎥
Thanks man!! Really appreciate it
To be honest, I didn't want to watch this video. When I saw 14 minutes of duration, I though "next one", but at the final I am not disappointed, I really enjoyed every second, and repeated some parts hahaha. I hope you're good 😌
Ahh thank you! It was less ‘useful’ of a video than some other stuff but I enjoyed making it a lot!
OMG! "that prayer of gratitude" I hope I'll get to say the same too soon iA🤣
Loved it!Looking foward to more videos,all the best!
inshAllah!! And thank you!
It's everything I expected and even more...... waiting on your next upload already🤞🤞🤞💃💃💃
Thank you!! Hopefully can keep up the regular uploads!
Love the content with the humour!
Thank you!!
Man, I just found out about this channel and It´s great, looking foward for more content!!!!
Thank you! Comments like this keep me motivated!
Right that’s it. I’m want to join your practice. Great content. And yes I did subscribe.
Mashallah!!
Loved this, so happy for you and the accomplishments you have made!
I can never wake up that early before work! I sleep till last minute 😂
Keep the videos coming!
hahaa just like Shirin (my wife)!!
This is the funniest day in the life I have ever seen! :)
I never comment usually but this is brilliant! Love ur guys videos / Instagram accounts. May Allah keep you both blessed & happy!
I found your chanel few minutes ago and I already subscribed to your chanel.Ilove your editing and your content so so much.Keep up good work🖐❤
Thank you for your kind feedback! Will definitely be doing more regular content!!
This was so awesome Masha Allah!
such an inspiring video! this is my 3rd time watching it haha.
Saw you on Ali’s vlog and liked your humour there. And you do not disappoint with your humour here. Keep that going :) like the fountain story too
hahaa ahh didn’t realise that went live! Always a great time hanging out with Ali. And thank you!
@@usamasyed like your vibe too, subscribed :)
I like your sense of humour
Loved this video!!
Keep up the good content :)
Thank you!!
What a fun video to watch! You should totally hire a medical scribe to help you with the charting! I work for pediatric neurosurgeons and used to work in the ED as a medical scribe, and the physicians would always say how much easier their life has become since hiring us!
Thank you!! And it’s a great idea!
Nice video, was interesting to follow, including the reflection at the end. Looking forward to more, even if just few minutes or unpolished!
Thank you! And yesss that’s what I need to learn - better not to strive for perfection but only do one video in months 😂 will start doing regular ones and not micromanaging!
The scooter ride had me snort laughing and woke up my baby 😅😅 hilarious! Keep them coming!
😂 I felt so embarrassed filming it, but it was worth it just to know I had a snort laugh somewhere in the world 🙌🏼
Amazing video♥️
Thank you!
this video was. so entertaining
This was fun. Loved how you put it together. my younger sis is studying to be a Dermat, too inshaallah. Good luck to you with everything ahead.
Thank you and good luck to her too!
Allah humma barik brother..I too am an aspiring dermatologist from India with a dream of starting my own skincare line One day.. you're really inspiring, being an IMG yet managing to get derm is a big deal.
Wishing you the best!
I loved this video, so inspiring and fun to watch! when is the next one coming out.. lol
hahaa soon!! I plan to post once every two weeks!
Damn Shirin is lucky to be with someone who has a great sense of humor! Your videos on TH-cam are great and I love your Instagram posts. Keep the content coming! Would love to see you grow big on TH-cam! All the best and would love for Shirin to make an appearance on this channel cuz I love her haha!
hahaa hopefully Shirin and I will both be making many more TH-cam videos together and also on our own channels! Thank you for your kind words!!
Lol ur so funny love the bit when u put the sun cream on🥰🥰🥰
this video gave me hope that I can become a dermatologist one day and be comfortable in my own skin just like you 😅 i always thought a great doctor always had to be serious, and usually i’m not so i was freaking out for the longest until i came across this video 😭❤
Ahh that means a lot! There’s a million different ways to be a good doctor - a lot of my patients like that I make jokes so there is hope for people like us 😂
keep in faith dude, medical field in nyc need more represent like you. i am that 5% btw
hahaa my bro 🙌🏼🙌🏼
It’s his sense of humor for me.
Thank you!!
@@usamasyed question please: how do you manage sun screen and wudu? General skin care and wudu?
That was amazing👍
Thanks momana!
That's one nice intro and a great watch. Grateful for being a dermatologist and not a surgeon got me 😄 thoroughly enjoyed keep it up 👍 and yeah nice collection of scrubs 😊
Dr. Waleed
General surgeon
hahaa only love for my surgeon colleagues, someone has to do the hard stuff! 🙌🏼
Loved the video, your humor is so subtle and fun. Would love for you to compare and contrast between medicine practice in UK and USA.
Great idea for a future video! And thank you!
You’re hilarious! Subscribed!
You would be a great dermatologist to rely on. there's no doubt you are very personable and take your time with your patients. It's very off putting to go to a doctor of any kind who is always in a hurry. A lot of times because of this I write my questions down before I go. I appreciate the fact that you don't stay on the computer when visiting with your patients. I had a specialist to do that once and I heard the same thing from others about him. He kept his back turned towards me while he was on that computer pretty much the entire visit. Never went back. Your office reflects your personality. FUN! BTW, your wife is very beautiful.
SUBSCRIBEDDDD!!!!
Hi Usama !!! Thank you for sharing your day with us. I have a request,can you please make a video (I mean in detailed & long video😶) abou your journey from uk to become a Dermatologist in nyc. I am also a doctor and aspiring to be a Dermatologist in usa.
Great video! You should buy those foldable pocket prayer mats so you won't have to pray on the grass on rainy days! Much love brother!! ♥️
hahaa yeah man I’m slipping! Did you see how I still had grass on my forehead in the kickball scene afterwards 😂 I only noticed watching the video back!
I really enjoyed the vlog
Thank you!!
Your sense of humour is on another level😂😂
hahaa thank you, Nasra! It was hard keeping a straight face with all that sunscreen on!!
yes its just how i expected it that is y i want to be a dermatologist
Thank you for sharing! I am currently finishing up my medical studies abroad and am considering applying to derm. Could you talk about the residency life for dermatology? Thank you!!!
Keep making new videos please your are the best
