His dedication to women’s health and reproductive care led him to complete his OB/GYN training at Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, by 2013.
Going above and beyond to expand his knowledge and skills, Dr. Kanaan pursued a fellowship in obesity and metabolic disease management, allowing him to provide comprehensive care not only to women but also to men and pediatric patients struggling with obesity.
