Early life & education
Faisal Quereshy was born in Toronto, Canada. At the age of 21, Quereshy enrolled in the School of Dentistry at the University of Buffalo. During his time in dental school, he reached the decision that he should specialize in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery. Dr. Quereshy earned the D.D.S. degree at the age of 24, in 1994. Dr. Quereshy immediately enrolled in the Case Western Reserve University Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery program, headed by Dr. Jerold Goldberg. There, he earned his M.D. degree in 1997 at 27 years old. After his five years of training, he went on to pursue a one-year fellowship in Facial Plastic Surgery in Salt Lake City. Then he came back to Cleveland, and he began teaching at his alma mater. He has four children, most notably Humzah Quereshy, who is assistant Public Forum Debate coach at University School.

Private Practice
When Dr. Quereshy came back to Cleveland, along with teaching at Case Western, he joined practice with Dr. Emilio Ferrara, another Oral Surgeon in the Greater Cleveland Area. After spending two years in Kent with Dr. Ferrara, in 2001 he began the process of establishing his own private practice, Visage Surgery Center in Medina, Ohio, which began treating patients in 2003. In 2008, Dr. Quereshy expanded his practice, incorporating an Endodontics division, headed by Dr. Najia Usman, D.D.S. Other expanded departments include the V Spa, the Dental Implant Center of Excellence, as well as the Visage Imaging Center. Because of the multi-disciplinary nature of the practice, the evolution of the name changed to the Visage Surgical Institute was only fitting. Since then, Dr. Quereshy has continued his work both at the Case Western Reserve University and at his private practice in Medina.
