01 / Speaking

For the people who
care for everyone else.

Medicine asks a lot of us. I speak about the parts we carry beyond the clinic: the pressure to achieve, the responsibility to lead, and the need to feel connected.

Dr. Shehzad Batliwala, eye surgeon and speaker

The person behind Visionary Doc

I’m Dr. Shehz.

I’m an eye surgeon, practice founder, TEDx speaker, and stand-up comedian based in Plano, Texas.

My work has taken me from the operating room to the stage and into humanitarian medicine. Those experiences shape the questions I keep returning to: how we see each other, how we lead, and what makes the work meaningful.
