Weslaco / South Padre Island – He’s a doctor, a motivational speaker, a singer / rapper, and he’s funny.

On his website, www.ZDoggMD.com, Dr. Damania is described as “an international icon and man of mild-to-moderate mystery … apart from writing and producing award-winning medical parody videos that educate and entertain, he’s a highly sought-after healthcare speaker and thought leader.”
