What your first visit looks like
A proper assessment
Your first visit is a full one-on-one assessment. Amir takes the time to understand what's going on and explains it in plain language.
A plan you leave with
You go home with a clear plan and your first steps — not a vague 'let's see how it goes.'
Direct billing
We bill ICBC, WorkSafeBC and most extended-health plans directly, so in most cases you pay little or nothing at the desk.
Easy to get to
1325 Marine Drive, North Vancouver, with free on-site parking. Open Mon–Fri 9:00 AM–7:30 PM and Sat 8:30 AM–4:00 PM.
Off the clock
Outside the clinic, Amir plays tennis and enjoys biking, hiking and swimming with his family in North Vancouver and West Vancouver.
