This Veterans Day we are saluting the women and men that have sacrificed so much in service to our country. We are privileged to feature Dr. Antonio Webb, who enlisted in the Air Force and served for 8 years, including a 5 month deployment to Iraq. Dr. Webb’s life has taken many twists and turns and he has documented this in a book entitled, “Overcoming The Odds.”
During this episode, Dr. Webb talks about how he joined the service with the goal of becoming a surgeon. While on active duty, he took courses at community colleges, earning his degree and completing the prerequisites for medical school. His journey only intensified as he had to apply multiple times to medical school. His hard work has clearly paid off. Dr. Webb earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from the prestigious Georgetown University, then completed a rigorous orthopedic surgery residency program followed by a fellowship in spine surgery.
Dr. Webb currently practices in San Antonio, Texas. He is a motivational speaker and produces outstanding educational videos which are located on his youtube channel: Antonio J. Webb, MD
