"It has been exciting and rewarding to see our Division successfully growing and furthering its aim to support both patients and Burnaby physicians’ happiness & wellness."

Dr. James Hii has been a full-service Burnaby family physician since 1971, after completing his medical degree at the University of British Columbia. A member of the board since 2011, he worked with Dr. Karime Mitha to bring the Burnaby Division of Family Practice into being.

During his more than four decades of family practice, James has deeply enjoyed the front-line privilege of meeting, treating and supporting a wonderful variety of patients. In addition to his practice, James has taught students in the United States about the beneficial aspects of integrative medicine. 

While supporting patients keeps James very busy, he also enjoys spending time with family and friends, going to church and playing tennis.
