Dr. Ramiz S. Alhadi

A graduate of the University of Basrah College of Medicine in Iraq, Dr. Alhadi has been practicing medicine since 2017. He joined the team in Port Hardy on North Vancouver Island through the provincial Practice Ready Assessment program, designed specifically for physicians with independent practice experience, ensuring a seamless transition into the Canadian health care system.

Dr. Alhadi emphasized the importance of a holistic perspective in his approach to patient care, drawing from his extensive experience in emergency medicine and trauma recovery. "My approach has always been comprehensive, focusing not only on the patient's current complaint but also on understanding the whole picture," he explained. “You cannot treat the complaint without treating the cause, and to find the cause, you need to get the full picture.”

Originally from a large city in Iraq, Dr. Alhadi has embraced the calm and adventurous lifestyle on North Vancouver Island. He’s appreciative of the sense of community and the slower pace of life, which allows him to focus on his patients' well-being. 

In his spare time, Dr. Alhadi enjoys staying active by playing soccer, tennis, squash, and working out. As a self-proclaimed "big car guy," he also finds joy in exploring his passion for automobiles.
