Our Doctors

Dr. Leema Dookhoo was born in Trinidad & Tobago and raised in Guyana and Suriname by her grandmother. Growing up in regions affected by poverty, frequent flooding, and limited access to healthcare, she developed a deep awareness of the importance of public health from an early age. These formative experiences inspired her lifelong dedication to improving healthcare access and quality.

After immigrating to Canada as a teenager, Dr. Dookhoo pursued her passion for health sciences at McMaster University, where she earned an Honours Bachelor of Science. She went on to complete a Master’s degree in Neurophysiology, followed by a Bachelor of Applied Science in Occupational and Public Health. Before entering medical school, she worked as a Public Health Inspector, gaining valuable insight into community health needs. She later completed her Doctor of Medicine at the University of Toronto.

Dr. Dookhoo brings together her background in public health and her training in family medicine to deliver compassionate, evidence-based care. She is committed to providing comprehensive, preventative, and personalized medical care. Her approach emphasizes working collaboratively with patients to create individualized care plans that support long-term health and well-being.
