Reema Mistry, PA-C

For Reema Mistry, the path to medicine began with a deeply personal experience. As a teenager, she watched her grandfather struggle with dementia, pulmonary, and cardiac conditions. His journey left a lasting impression. By the time he passed away, Reema knew she wanted to dedicate her life to helping others manage their health, ease the burden of disease, and feel supported throughout their care.

Reema discovered the role of physician assistants while working as a medical scribe in an urgent care clinic. She was immediately drawn to the profession, inspired by how PAs combine medical expertise with collaboration across the healthcare team. She knew right away this was the path she wanted to follow.

During her clinical training, Reema connected with Vanguard Medical Group. She was drawn to the team’s collaborative spirit, emphasis on continuity of care, and strong commitment to building long-term relationships with patients and families. It was the kind of environment where she knew she could grow as a physician assistant and make a meaningful impact.

Today, as a family medicine provider, Reema cherishes the opportunity to form lasting connections across generations. “I want to be there for every stage of my patients’ lives,” she explains. “From preventive care and wellness to managing chronic conditions or addressing acute needs, I strive to be the first point of contact—the person who supports them in staying healthy and living life to the fullest.”

Patients often describe Reema as compassionate, approachable, and a great listener. She values creating a safe, welcoming space where patients feel empowered to take an active role in their own health and well-being.

When she’s not working, Reema enjoys getting lost in a good book, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, and taking long, relaxing walks.
