McDONOUGH — Fans know him from his YouTube videos or appearances on “The Today Show,” “Good Morning America” and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” or as The Masked Singer in a serpent costume. Other fans know him simply as the gifted surgeon who helped them walk again.

Dr. Elvis Francois is all of the above. The son of Haitian immigrants became a YouTube viral sensation in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic as people began filming him and Dr. William Robinson playing music and singing together at The Mayo Clinic, where both were medical residents.
