Introducing
DOCTOR RASHID
John Hopkins University | University of Texas
I am a Physician who cares deeply about his patients, his community and our City of McAllen.
My practice specializes in Pain Management. I alleviate and reduce pain. I hope to alleviate and reduce the pain we are all suffering due to the pandemic and the fear and uncertainty we are all confronting due to the economic, social, medical and emotional upheaval that this virus has caused.
After my studies at Johns Hopkins University, I am a knowledgeable Public Health Expert and I have determined that we must restore our community’s health FIRST to restore economic growth, quality in-school education, social activity and tourism.
A healthy McAllen will be a city with a booming economy based on all the features we already have – maquilas, trade, malls, international bridges, excellent medical centers, educational centers and universities, small businesses and agriculture plus a culturally diverse and hard-working population.
