About
Dr. Omar Hussain, DO, MS, MPH, earned his medical degrees at the University of North Texas Health Science Center, where he completed a Master of Science, a Master of Public Health, and his Doctor of Osteopathy. He then trained in Family Medicine at Michigan State University and completed a Fellowship in Geriatric Medicine at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He holds board certifications in Family Medicine, Geriatric Medicine, and Obesity Medicine.
Dr. Hussain treats patients across the full age spectrum, with particular focus on geriatric care, men's health, women's health, mental health, and chronic disease management. His certification in obesity medicine changed how he approaches weight: he recognizes that obesity reflects a complex neurohormonal and biological process, not simply a failure of personal effort. He applies that same intellectual honesty across all his care. He and his wife Saamia are parents to two sons, Yahya and Isa, and their daughter Noor, may God rest her soul. His guiding belief is simple: patients are the captains of their own health, and his job is to help them navigate.
