Georgios A. Zenonos, MD,  is a first-year resident, joining the department of neurological surgery in July 2011. Georgios was born and raised in the Mediterranean island of Cyprus.

After high school, he served a 26-month military service as a military officer before matriculating in the University of Athens Medical School in Greece with a full scholarship from the Ministry of Education. During medical school, for six consecutive years he was the recipient of the annual National Scholarship Foundation award for ranking at the top of his class.
