Veteran U.S. Army Major and Author Joins Leadership Team to Oversee Clinical Operations Across DC-Metro Locations
TAKOMA PARK, MD, December 11, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — AmeriWell Clinics, a leading multi-specialty clinical practice serving the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia region, today announced the appointment of Dr. Samuel Christian, MD, as Medical Director. A board-certified general surgeon with over 30 years of experience, Dr. Christian will oversee clinical leadership across the organization’s 14 locations, reinforcing AmeriWell’s commitment to high-quality, integrated patient care.
Dr. Christian brings a diverse background spanning general surgery, trauma rehabilitation, and holistic wellness to the role. He will guide AmeriWell’s multidisciplinary teams as the organization expands its comprehensive treatment plans, with a specialized focus on personal injury, auto accidents, and work-related injuries.
A graduate of Howard University College of Medicine, Dr. Christian completed his general surgery residency at St. Barnabas Medical Center, where he was recognized as Surgical Intern of the Year. His clinical expertise includes general surgery, obesity treatment, and bariatric support. He gained national recognition when the Discovery Channel documented a groundbreaking 1,000-pound weight-loss case under his care. He later chronicled this experience and his faith-driven philosophy on wellness in his book, Mannafast Miracle.
“Dr. Christian’s unique blend of surgical precision, military discipline, and humanitarian compassion makes him the ideal leader for our medical team,” said Dr. Ali R. Ramezan, DC, CEO and Founder of AmeriWell Clinics. “His arrival marks a significant milestone as we continue to elevate the standard of care for our communities.”
In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Christian is a retired Major in the U.S. Army Reserves. As a former Battalion Surgeon, he contributed extensively to the treatment and rehabilitation of injured service members. He is also a committed humanitarian, having served on medical missions to the Hopi Indian Reservation and led disaster relief efforts in New Orleans post-Katrina and in Dominica following Hurricane Maria.
“I am honored to join AmeriWell Clinics and support AmeriWell’s mission of providing accessible, compassionate care,” said Dr. Christian. “I look forward to leveraging my experience in both surgical and holistic medicine to ensure every patient receives the personalized, integrated treatment they need to achieve long-term wellness.”
