Dr. Elkady grew up in New York City and obtained his B.S. in Biology from the City University of New York at Brooklyn College. He received his dental training at New York University and completed a GPR at Queens Hospital Center. Upon graduation from residency, he relocated to Seattle, and practiced general dentistry for 5 years, providing dental care to the underserved communities of the PNW. It was during those 5 years of practice that Dr Elkady saw too many patients unable to get proper dental care due to dental phobia, special needs, or complex medical histories. Dr Elkady became acquainted with the dental anesthesiology profession while in the PNW and shortly thereafter moved back to NYC to attend a 3-year residency in dental anesthesiology at St Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, a regional trauma center.

Dr. Elkady maintains the following certifications: Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and Basic Life Support (BLS). Dr Elkady enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, cooking and being outdoors.
