He holds faculty positions at Northeastern Ohio Medical University and Ohio State University, as well as serves on the active medical staff at Aultman Hospital, Mercy Medical Center, Surgical Hospital at Southwoods, Surgery Alliance, and Alliance Community Hospital.
With a broad educational background, Dr. Dewan received his medical degree at McGill University Faculty of Medicine, one of the top universities in Canada.

He trained with leaders in the field of refractive surgery in various locations, including Long Island, New York, Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio.
Licensed to practice medicine in Ohio and California, he is board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology, an independent, non-profit organization responsible for certifying ophthalmologists in the United States of America.

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.
Serving in international medical missions, Dr. Dewan has donated his time and resources to teaching residents, medical staff, and surgeons, and to providing surgery for cataracts, eye disorders in children (such as strabismus), and eye plastic conditions.
