He received his undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology at the University of Pennsylvania, and he earned his MD at Hahnemann Medical College. Dr. Feldman went on to complete his graduate work at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.â¯

In his free time, Dr. Felman enjoys reading, skiing, tennis, Pilates, and travel. Since he is a passionate lover of animals, both domestic and wild, it is no surprise to learn that he shares his home with three cats, one dog, and a sun conure, which is a small parrot.
