• Founder of Prestige Medical Concierge – at home primary care
• Published author in multiple journals, presented at multiple international conferences and seminars

Dr. Kandalaft started his medical career after obtaining his medical degree from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, graduating at 22 years old with honors. After completing his Internship at Trinity College in Dublin, he pursued a research year at Harvard’s Brigham & Women’s Hospital in the USA, obtaining multiple publications in Traumatic brain injury and seizure disorders. Dr. Kandalaft went on to pursue his residency in Internal Medicine in the United States at Tufts/UMass’ Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts. He was awarded the Tufts University Excellence in Teaching award during this time. Post-residency, Dr. Kandalaft was invited to join Yale New Haven Hospital as an Attending Hospitalist specializing in Internal Medicine & Diagnostics. While at Yale New Haven Hospital, Dr. Kandalaft was working on the front lines with his colleagues during the COVID-19 pandemic, examining and providing care to affected patients. During the pandemic, time was spent collaborating with specialists, contributing to the collective knowledge on this novel disease.

Within the institution, he was promoted to a Unit Medical Director and the Co-Deputy Director of Quality Improvement for the Hospitalist Division. He engaged in multiple teaching activities with physician assistants, nurse practitioners and medical students, and was eventually promoted to Assistant Clinical Professor of Internal Medicine at Yale University School of Medicine. Throughout his career, Dr. Kandalaft has published multiple papers focused on Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Infectious and Autoimmune conditions, and shares a particular interest in hemodynamics, rare diseases & conditions and quality improvement.

Currently, Dr. Kandalaft has founded a novel primary care practice model focused on providing Direct Patient Care. His clinic, Prestige Medical Concierge provides at-home primary care, where Dr. Kandalaft and his team refocus medicine to the patient; focusing on quality care, as opposed to quantitative care. He is currently attempting to redefine the medical space by expanding this primary care model to deliver quality care back to the sickest of patients, by increasing time spent with each patient and accessibility to their provider.

Dr. Kandalaft believes in connectivity with his patients, which has been facilitated by his background of having been raised in Jordan in the Middle East, training and living in Dublin, Ireland for 6 years, and practicing medicine in the Northeast US for close to a decade. His background has afforded a growth in his cultural experiences and abilities to identify with patients from different backgrounds. This has allowed Dr. Kandalaft the opportunity to learn multiple languages and achieve fluency in English, Arabic and Spanish and currently developing his skills in Russian.

Personal Statement

‍The majority of my time has been devoted to academic medicine, teaching anesthesia and regional anesthesia, and research related to clinical anesthesia. I spend fifty percent of my effort in the teaching and clinical arena.  I dedicate the remaining fifty percent of my time to clinical research, writing, publishing, and administrative duties.

After finishing my fellowship in regional anesthesia, I have remained focused on this field through various endeavors. Specifically, I participated as faculty at several local and international workshops in order to teach residents and anesthesiologists a variety of regional techniques. I have also lectured about regional anesthesia at various national and international conferences. Additionally, I have been a regional anesthesia instructor at the Harvard Anesthesia Update conference for the past several years. Moreover, I am part of the BWH plastic surgery transplant team where I apply regional anesthesia techniques in order to improve the care and outcomes of these patients.

I have been involved in the regional anesthesia fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. I am also part of the core perioperative intensive care ultrasound (PICUS) group. PICUS is one of the very few ultrasound curriculums in the country to teach residents ultrasonography and its applications during their 3-year anesthesia residency. In addition to regional anesthesia, I have focused my clinical work on ambulatory anesthesia. I was selected to serve on the Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia (SAMBA) Committees on International Relations and Education. In 2016, I had the opportunity to present the very first Spanish webinar for SAMBA on regional anesthesia. I am an active member of the committee in ambulatory anesthesia for the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA).

In 2014, I was appointed to improve the anesthesia care for Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. I subsequently authored a paper publishing our experience after implementing the guidelines for more than 3000 patients.  In 2015, I completed a Certificate in Business Administration with the American Society of Anesthesiology to strengthen my administrative skills. Finally, I have served as a reviewer for the Anesthesia and Analgesia journal and Pain Medicine Journal. Currently I am the Chief of Anesthesia at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear. In this role I have been working on several process improvement projects involving operating room efficiency, patient satisfaction, and communication. I am a fellow of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (FASA) a recognition for those members who have dedicated time to education, leadership roles and advancing the field of anesthesia.

Joshua Mansour MD, is a graduate from Vanderbilt University where he completed his undergraduate degree in Psychology and Spanish and was a Chancellor Scholar.  After graduating, he spent a brief time in finance, but missed the continued patient interaction he had developed and had grown to love.  He had spent many years volunteering in health care prior, in such activities as volunteer interpreter at an underserved clinic, and as student advisor at Camp Okawehna for children suffering from renal failure, among other hospitals and clinics.  It was also during that time he co-founded Greatest Gift Inc, a non-profit organization aimed at helping spread awareness about organ donation, that continues throughout medical schools and communities across the country today.  This desire to be at the forefront of patient care continue to echo stronger.  He wanted to continue to help patients as they battled a variety of illnesses and offer support during their weakest moments and therefore enrolled and attended Ross University School of Medicine where he obtained his medical degree.

Upon graduation, Dr. Mansour pursued an Internal Medicine residency at the Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Regents University.  He chose to specialize in IM because an Internist plays a vital role as the patient advocate, engaging with an array of specialists and medical teams, to manage the progress of each patient.  During his time in residency he dedicated much of his time to patient care and research where he helped implement clinic trials and phase one studies with their cancer center, help write grant proposals for continued research, and took on the role as a clinical investigator.  He has written several abstracts, journal publications in major medical journals, and given oral presentations on his work.  Throughout this time, he continued to volunteer throughout the community, using his fluency in Spanish, to help the underserved Latina community in Augusta, mentor medical students and residents with the American College of Physicians, and serve on the AIBM committee to help analyze and develop teaching goals for an improved board pass rate among colleagues.  He was awarded a superior resident achievement award and went on to the Medical University of South Carolina to do a fellowship in hematology and oncology and pursue his passion.

While at the Medical University of South Carolina he continued to mentor others through various organizations nationally and locally as well as work with medical students at campuses on Greatest Gift. He worked closely with the Hematologic Malignancies Department and Bone Marrow Transplant Centers of each institution developing further research, and writing abstracts and publications, which compelled him to further immerse himself in the dynamic field of bone marrow transplantation.  Here he was also named Chief Fellow for the 2017 – 2018 year.

​

After completion of that fellowship, Dr. Mansour then became board certified in both Hematology and Oncology, in addition to medicine previously, and went on to Stanford University to pursue yet another fellowship in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Immunotherapy. He works on halting the patients’ disease process with early intervention and consolidated effort to give them the best chance for survival.  With the numerous new medical trials and innovative cellular immunotherapies, the progress has been significant and continues to evolve at an accelerated rate the last few years. Dr. Mansour hopes to continue to expand on his involvement in patient care and clinical research throughout the community.  With the rapid advancement of cellular immunotherapy and CAR-T cell therapy, he would like to utilize the knowledge and experience he has gained to help patients with disease refractory to initial therapy.  The interpersonal, academic and research aspects of bone marrow transplantation and cellular immunotherapy continues to fascinate Dr. Mansour and he hopes to make significant contributions to the field of hematology/oncology and the scientific community as a whole.
