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.

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 was a member of VASA an American-Scandinavian cultural organization since 1980.

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 based practice, 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.
