Dr. Alisa “Alice” Khomutova grew up in Los Angeles, California. She knew she wanted to be a surgeon at 14 years old when she found an illustrated copy of Grey’s Anatomy. After graduating high school, she attended UC Davis, where she graduated magna cum laude and majored in neurobiology, physiology and behavior, and minored in Russian language. When she was not studying, Alice tutored students with special needs at Davis High School.
Before attending medical school, Alice took a gap year to paint, travel, and teach. She then moved from sunny Los Angeles to wintry Michigan to spend the next four years at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine. Despite her mother’s dreams for her to stay more local, Alice had to push further east and relocate to Long Island, New York, to pursue residency. Currently, Alice is a PGY-5 general surgery resident at Stony Brook Hospital with plans to do an abdominal wall reconstruction fellowship next year.
General Surgery
Alice enjoys traveling and has visited over 25 countries! Some of her favorite adventures include driving the Ring of Kerry in Ireland and getting "stuck" in Italy in March 2020 (Nobody is ever stuck in Italy).
