MD — Nephrology Specialist
I am pleased to join the Doctors On Site team as a Specialist in Internal Medicine, Nephrology, and Women’s Health. I see patients through our virtual platform.
All of our OHIP-covered programs involve both physicians and a supporting care team of Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs) and Registered Dietitians, allowing us to provide comprehensive and coordinated care to our patients.
Conditions and concerns Dr. Mahdavi-Mazdeh assesses and manages:
All consultations delivered virtually across Ontario. In-person procedures arranged as clinically indicated.
CKD, proteinuria, electrolytes, stones & complex renal concerns
Diabetic nephropathy, GFR optimisation, medication review
Resistant hypertension, renal artery assessment
CKD-MBD, calcium/phosphate disorders, PTH management
Virtual nephrology consultations available across Ontario — typically within ~1 week (urgent cases accommodated promptly). Self-refer or ask your family doctor to send a referral.
Dr. Mitra Mahdavi-Mazdeh emphasizes a comprehensive and coordinated approach to patient care, integrating the expertise of physicians with a dedicated support team. This collaborative model ensures that patients receive holistic management for their conditions, particularly those involving chronic diseases and complex health issues.
Her practice includes Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs) and Registered Dietitians, who work alongside her to provide specialized guidance on managing conditions like diabetes and its impact on kidney health. This multidisciplinary team approach aims to empower patients with the knowledge and tools necessary for effective self-management and improved health outcomes.
Dr. Mahdavi-Mazdeh offers specialized consultations for patients experiencing chronic kidney disease (CKD) across all stages, from 1 to 5. Her expertise extends to identifying and managing the underlying causes and complications associated with CKD, ensuring patients receive tailored treatment plans.
Her services include detailed proteinuria evaluation, management of electrolyte imbalances, and addressing anemia of CKD. She also provides crucial pre-dialysis education and planning, as well as post-transplant monitoring, equipping patients with the information and support needed at every stage of their kidney health journey.
For patients managing diabetes and its potential impact on kidney function, Dr. Mahdavi-Mazdeh provides dedicated "Diabetes & Kidney Care" consultations. This program focuses on optimizing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and reviewing medication regimens to best support both conditions.
The aim is to proactively manage diabetic nephropathy, a common complication of diabetes that affects the kidneys. By offering timely interventions and personalized care plans, Dr. Mahdavi-Mazdeh helps patients mitigate the progression of kidney damage and maintain overall health.
Dr. Mahdavi-Mazdeh is a specialist in hypertension management, particularly for cases of resistant hypertension. She conducts thorough assessments, including evaluations for renal artery stenosis, a common cause of difficult-to-control high blood pressure.
Her approach involves a detailed examination of the patient's cardiovascular health and kidney function to identify the root causes of hypertension. This ensures that treatment strategies are targeted and effective, aiming to bring blood pressure under control and reduce the risk of associated complications.
