She enjoys a family practice with a special interest in endocrine issues, allergies, digestive disorders and autoimmune diseases.

Dr. Meghji says: “I wish I could say I was always healthy. As a child I had terrible colic, allergies and asthma. Both my brother and I used nebulizers with steroids in them to treat our asthma. Then as a teen, I had awful acid reflux. I am so grateful to have found Naturopathic Medicine. I wanted to become a Pediatrician my whole life and did all the schooling and exams to apply for medical school. But, as it came closer to graduation time from university, I realized that I wanted to work on a person’s whole health, not just treat the symptoms. I am passionate about healthy living and preventative medicine so I knew I needed to choose a different path. Since seeing an ND and becoming one, my allergies have been cured and I maintain a healthy lifestyle.”
