This gap inspired him to become a self-taught financial literacy educator for healthcare professionals. His financial knowledge comes from years of self-education, networking, trial and error, and even failure. He still practice physiotherapy, but has found freedom and fulfillment in financial independence. Over 13+ years, he has seen healthcare professionals desire financial security but lack resources. We're experts in our fields but often struggle with personal finance. That’s why he created this platform—to share my knowledge and empower you to take control of your financial future.

During the last twenty-five years, Dr. Kayal built one of the most successful multi-specialty orthopaedic medical practices in the United States, and in 2021, in one of the most substantial health care transactions ever to close, he partnered with RWJBarnabas Health, the largest and most comprehensive health care system in New Jersey. Dr. Kayal considers it an honor, pleasure, blessing and privilege to help restore an active lifestyle and joyful life to each of his patients. He gives all his thanks to God for his talents and skills and prays his practice will always be used to honor, glorify, and exalt his awesome Triune God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Specializing in partial and total joint replacements, sports medicine, and arthroscopy, Dr. Kayal knows the importance of staying abreast of the latest technologies.
