Welcoming four new family physicians to Richmond
The leaves are changing, and so is Richmond’s medical community – for the better! Join us in welcoming Dr. Ahlam Ezwai, Dr. Ketki Merchant, Dr. Linnette Ocariza and Dr. Amer Zabalawi! Their presence is already making a huge impact, empowering four local family practices to reopen their doors to accept new patients this September 2025. The addition of these four dedicated practitioners is a breath of fresh air for both our clinics and our entire community.
Clinics play a vital role in attracting new talent through hosting and mentoring international medical graduates (IMGs) transitioning their practices to B.C. Participating in Return of Service (ROS) programs offers the opportunity to strengthen your clinic team through securing highly skilled medical professionals while also making a powerful, positive impact on the health of our entire community.
