Dr. Nazemi was born in Tehran, Iran, and moved to Vancouver at the age of 9.

Dr. Nazemi is determined to improve his skill set by learning every day. Continuing education in areas such as surgery and sedation practices has allowed him to become versed in more complex procedures. He feels the best patient experience comes with knowing exactly what the patient wants, and striving to meet that goal. “Helping people has always been of importance to me. The reason I sought out becoming a doctor was to do so. But becoming a dentist allowed me the skill set to enrich people’s lives. There’s nothing better than knowing you made someone’s life that much happier”.
