Originally from Miami, Florida, Dr. Esquenazi grew up in a modern orthodox Sephardic community in Aventura. Inspired by his educational background at Samuel Scheck Hillel Community Day School, Dr. Esquenazi sought further Judaic connection in Israel by volunteering at Magen David Adom, Israel’s ambulance corps. He later on graduated from University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and completed his anesthesiology residency at Montefiore Medical Center in 2017. He has since been a part of the Las Vegas community and made Peccole Ranch his home since 2017 along with his wife and three children.
