Dr. Suhaib Alkurtass
Consultant, Cardiologist
Welcome to Da Vinci and Mona Lisa,
As the owner of Da Vinci Wellness Centre and Mona Lisa Medical Spa, I also serve as the President of Edmonton Echolab and am a practicing Cardiologist in Edmonton. I started my clinical practice 15 years ago. After finishing my Cardiology training, I joined the Misericordia Hospital and the Mazankowski Heart Institute as an attending Cardiologist.
In 2013, my partners and I opened Edmonton Echolab which was dedicated to provide state of the art, community-based cardiovascular testing modalities to community members. This venture soon graduated to become a fully functional Cardiology clinic offering a home for patients with various heart conditions to monitor their heart health.
Over the years, I came to the realization that it is not enough just treat patients acute illness, but as medical experts, we need to promote wellness and wellbeing as well. Last year we opened Da Vinci Wellness Centre with the aim to promote both physical and mental health and well-being in a collaborative way. Now into 2021, I am excited to introduce Mona Lisa Medical Spa to meet all your health and beauty needs.
Please visit our website davinciwellness.ca or give us a call at (587) 635-3222 to learn more or come and meet some of the members of our team! We look forward to meeting you for your healthcare needs.
