Kamran Goudarzi
| Doctor
Kamran Goudarzi attended Bedstone Boarding School in Shropshire,
England at the age of 14. Within two years he was accepted at
Alleyn’s School, an affiliate of Dulwich College, which is one of the
most prestigious schools in England. While majoring in zoology, he was
elected as the best anatomical dissector in his class. By the age of
18, he had obtained "S" levels (honor level) in physics and chemistry
and was accepted into the University of London School of Medicine. By
the age of 24, Dr. Kamran Goudarzi had graduated with M.B., B.S. (M.D.
degree from the University of London) as well as Licensiate of Royal
College of Physicians (LRCP) and Member of the Royal College of
Surgeons (MRCS). After graduation from medical school, he began
preparation for
his boards in general surgery for the Royal College of Surgeons in
England. Two years prior to obtaining his boards, he moved to the
United States, where he did an additional five years of residency. He
now has 25 years of post-medical school experience in the art of
general, vascular, thoracic, laparoscopic and both upper and lower endoscopic surgeries. During his post-graduate training, the
opportunity to work with some of the most well known physicians in the
world presented itself. He spent six months in internal medicine with Dame Professor
Sheila Sherlock, who has been considered one of the most knowledgeable
physicians regarding diseases of the liver. He also worked with
Professor Hobbs, one of the world’s leading liver surgeons, and
Professor Copeland, one of the world’s leading surgeons for treatment
of breast cancer, at M.D. Anderson in Texas, one of the top three
cancer centers in the United States. After returning to
Wilmington in 1987, Dr. Kamran Goudarzi joined his brother in
practice. Since that time he has been involved in the newest
technologies as they have become available. When laparoscopy
became available to general surgeons, Dr. Kamran Goudarzi was
one of the leaders. He performed the first laparoscopic repair
of a hiatal hernia in 1991 and has continued performing the
procedure over the last thirteen years. He now has the largest
number and longest follow-up cases in Wilmington. He was also
one of the original designers of laparoscopic repair of ventral
hernias. His first paper was published in 1994, which eventually
lead to the presentation of his paper at the SAGES meeting in
Florida and then in China.
The Goudarzi's did the first laparoscopic colon resections in
Wilmington and the Goudarzi's, which earned media coverage, did
the first laparoscopic liver resection performed in the eastern
U.S. in Wilmington.
Since the arrival of intravascular laser ablation, Dr. Kamran
Goudarzi again is a leader in a new and exciting procedure. He
was ne of the first of four centers in the state of North
Carolina to offer this technology to his patients. He has taken
surgery from the operating room to the office setting.
