Dr. Arezo Maria Fathie

Dr. Arezo Maria Fathie has been double board certified in two specialties, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. She was Certified through both the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Pediatrics since early in her career and switched in 2020 to being Board Certified with NBPAS (National Board of Physicians and Surgeons). Her clinic started in Henderson, Nevada in 2001, called Generations Medical Center, because she provides caring and compassionate medical services to infants, children, adolescents, adults and the elderly. Initially, she provided care in the office, on house-calls, and saw patients at many local hospitals and nursing homes. Several years passed and she placed her focus on office patients primarily.  After 10 years, her office moved to Southwest Las Vegas where she has been since 2010.

Her youngest patients are newborns, and the oldest patients are in their hundreds. This is why many families entrust the health care of their entire family to Dr. Fathie. All facets of quality medical care from childhood physicals to medication management for chronic health conditions is provided by Dr. Fathie herself.

She has provided over the years cosmetic options with medical spa treatments such as photo skin rejuvenation and IPL laser hair removal to complete your health and beauty inside and out, and now has the Paris Laser and Skin Spa in house with her Only Skin Deep Med Spa taking a back seat for now.




Dr. Fathie received her undergraduate degree in Third World Health and Development from the University of California, Berkeley in 1987. This included one year of study at the Institute of Political Science in Paris, France. She completed post-baccalaureate pre-med courses at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, UCLA, and the University of California, Northridge in 1989. She graduated from George Washington University Medical School in 1994. She trained four more years at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia in a combined Internal Medicine and Pediatric (Med-Peds) internship and residency program.

She speaks French, some Swedish and basic Farsi.

As a founding Member of the Department of Homeland Security and the Silver State Response Team (Nevada DMAT), Dr. Fathie has trained for the event of a local, state, or national tragedy. Dr. Fathie has served as a Trustee, Treasurer, and Secretary on the Board of Trustees of the Clark County Medical Society and a several time Delegate to the Nevada State Medical Association. She has served as an adjunct professor- Clinical Preceptor of Touro University, Samuel Merritt University, Chamberlain University, US University, and several others.  Over the years, she has been a clinical teaching site for Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners completing their externships.  Her office also receives and trains medical assistants from Las Vegas College and PIMA Medical Assisting programs to name a few.   Dr. Fathie is dedicated to teaching and passing on health care knowledge to eager students who will provide health care for tomorrow’s generations.

Since 2002, Dr. Fathie was the Medical Director of the Salvation Army Pathways program which rehabilitates mentally ill and vocationally challenged individuals until that program closed.  She is a member of P.E.O. a women’s philanthropic organization since 1985 and a member of VASA an American-Scandinavian cultural organization since 1980. She was an active member of the Iranian American Physician organization of Las Vegas, Nevada when it was organized.  She founded the past five and only Solutions for Solo Practitioners Roundtable Forums designed to assist primary care physicians in sharing their medical practice models and to create a primary care voice for legislatures and leaders in healthcare reform to hear. She is a member of FLCCC.net and supports the work of ILADS.org.

Over the years, Dr. Fathie’s interest in helping the underserved has lead her to do volunteer work in parts of Africa, Mexico, India, and Iran.

Dr. Fathie’s practice is based primarily in the office at this time, however, for the first four years her practice was a house-call practice where she visited very ill homebound patients within their homes with her mobile office. She became proficient at coordinating care and services to serve the most difficult and complicated patients.  While she spends most of her time in her office, she has maintained current privileges at some of the local hospitals and nursing homes.  She may do a courtesy visit to a hospital yet prefers to manage patients proactively so that they stay out of the hospital, in the first place.  She has added Telemedicine visits to her practice as of 2020. She is an advocate for excellent geriatric care and works with families to preserve the dignity of their loved ones.

Dr. Fathie has a busy home life and much of her free time is spent with her children and family while participating in indoor or outdoor physical activity, reading, writing poetry and prose and traveling.
