Dr. Amer Zureikat

 

A June 4 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article tells the remarkable story of John Cleary, who underwent two lifesaving surgeries exactly 50 years apart - first in 1970 to survive the Kent State University shootings, and second in 2020 when he underwent pancreatic cancer surgery performed by our surgical oncologist Amer H. Zureikat, MD, FACS.
