Background
Fahad Younas, MD, grew up in Pakistan, with a yearning to serve communities and be an effective member of his society. His father was a farmer and his mother took care of the home. He initially was interested in becoming a pilot, but pivoted to medicine.
Dr. Younas earned his medical degree at Shifa College of Medicine in Pakistan and then came to the United States in 2006 to conduct research on cardiac surgery at Columbia University in New York City.
Dr. Younas completed his residency training in general cardiology at St. Joseph Mercy Health System in the Detroit area.
From 2008 to 2015, he practiced cardiology throughout the East Coast, while also completing additional fellowships all around the country: heart failure and transplant at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago, interventional cardiology at UCLA Medical Center and vascular medicine and intervention at the University of Colorado in Denver.
In 2020, Dr. Younas accepted a faculty position at the University of Washington in Seattle and grew to love the Pacific Northwest. He began to practice in the area, and in December 2023, formed a cardiology group in Olympia with a longtime friend from medical school, Haroon Yousaf, MD.
