Our prime location at Royal Centre ensures easy access for international tourists and students near major hotels, schools, and convention centers. We prioritize patient health through personalized care, diagnostic testing, specialist referrals, and non-insured services like medical forms and skin treatments.Our team includes Dr. Ali Rastikerdar, Dr. Jennifer Yao, and Dr. Zahra Mazanderani, who bring decades of combined experience in family medicine, women's health, and traditional Chinese medicine. We maintain strict hygiene protocols and offer socially distanced care options while ensuring affordability through MSP coverage and transparent fee structures.
