He holds a Master's degree and Medical Doctorate in General and Vascular Surgery from Cairo University, Egypt, and completed specialist training in endovascular surgery (catheter-based vascular procedures) at Emory Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. He has received specialized training in redo bariatric surgery—complex weight-loss operations on patients who have had previous surgery.

Dr. Elhadidi's clinical expertise spans bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, laparoscopic keyhole techniques, vascular and endovenous procedures (treating veins and arteries), trauma surgery, and advanced catheter and laser-based vascular interventions. His research interests include blood clotting in vascular access failures, abdominal aortic aneurysm repair outcomes, and regional bariatric surgery trends. He is a member of the Arab Gulf Society for Gastroenterology and Catheterology, the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity (IFSO), and the American Society of Surgeons.

Dr. Elhadidi is fluent in English and Arabic. He is a good fit for patients seeking minimally invasive weight-loss surgery, vein and artery treatment without major open surgery, or complex vascular access procedures, particularly those requiring revision of previous operations.
