Hi, I'm Dr. Kas!
Hi, I'm Dr. Kas!

I am a first-generation African-American who was born to two amazing Nigerian parents who are the reason I am who I am today. I was born and raised in the Bay Area, California and have lived in Las Vegas since 2015. I have a passion for helping youth find their voice as they begin to take charge of their health. I am a firm believer that all adolescents should be heard. My work in Adolescent Medicine since 2012 has been challenging, but nothing less than a blessing.
I am unique because there are only a few people in the country who do what I do. Adolescents and young adults (AYA) are a vulnerable population that often get tossed in the wind. I choose to embrace them, applaud them for trying, and ensuring that they are supported on this long road called life. I come from humble beginnings, so I choose to give back to the underserved. I am most passionate about the advancement of underrepresented minorities and their ability to be resilient and achieve their dreams. If I can do it, so can they!

Two years ago our daughter was at her lowest. As parents it was our worst nightmare. With her service dog and the work you have done with her, It’s been several months now since Kim has had a meltdown in a store. I share this with you because you have been such a huge part of this journey and success with us. Thank you so much for all of your support.

You are kind, strong, and a warmhearted person who I have come to know and love. Having you as my physician helped me mend my physical and emotional well-being and you helped me to strive to do great things. Offering to be my mentor and going above and beyond, was the greatest gift. You are an astounding human being. Thank you for everything.
- colleague
Working with you has been a breath of fresh air. The way you care for your patients is like none other. I have worked with many physicians, but working with you has been a blessing. I have watched you change lives from teens to parents. I am looking forward to watching you continue to do so.
Thanks for your question!
I'll reply soon!
