Dr. Heydari has been practicing in Hope since July 2015 and truly enjoys the diversity of practice in Hope's rural setting.

His scope of practice ranges from pediatrics to geriatrics and his areas of interest include dermatology and cosmetic medicine. In addition to family medicine, Dr. Heydari works in emergency providing care for patients experiencing various health concerns.

He notes, "The collegial office environment and opportunity to provide health care for an underserved local population make this an excellent community to practice in. Moreover, a well-equipped emergency department and hospital are an asset to the community. We also have an ideal relationship with specialists, which enables efficient and easy patient referrals and consultations."

When he is not working, Dr. Heydari enjoys swimming and collecting stamps from all over the world. The small town feel of Hope's community, the hospitality of its residents, and the accessibility of local amenities such as the gym, library and pool are some of Dr. Heydari's favourite things about Hope.
