CARTHAGE, N.Y. — Dr. Rabie N. Stephan has joined Carthage Area Hospital’s surgical clinic team as a general surgeon.
He joins the medical staff as the third general surgeon now seeing patients in the hospital-based clinic that provides 24-hour surgical coverage.
A Buffalo resident, Stephan comes to Carthage from Kalieda Health’s Upper Allegheny Health System in Olean, where he also practiced as a general surgeon.
“I look forward to working in a smaller, personal environment and delivering great care to the area,” Stephan said in a news release. “The size of the hospital and the community was a big factor in my decision to practice here.”
A native of Beirut, Lebanon, Stephan graduated from the University of Bonn School of Medicine in Germany, in 1982. He was an assistant surgical resident from 1983 to 1985 at Yale New Haven Hospital in Connecticut. From 1985 to 1986, he was a Winchester Fellow in the Yale University School of Medicine Department of Surgery.
Following his time at Yale, Stephan spent a year as a research associate in the Michigan State University Department of Surgery. In 1990, he completed a surgical residency at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine. In 1993, he completed a renal/pancreas transplant fellowship at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia.
