Dr. Shaida Sina
Licensed Naturopathic Medical Doc
Medicine is in Dr Shaida Sina’s blood! Meaning, she comes from a long line of doctors going back generations. Her grandfather was a military surgeon, and grandmother was a midwife where they practiced the old medicine very much like Naturopathy. When the new medicine of the 20th century began, her grandfather sent her father Bahram to Paris France where he was trained as a medical doctor. Bahram specialized in dermatology and pioneered the field of dermatopathology lecturing around the world. Her father Dr. Bahram Sina practiced medicine in the United States for the next 75 years having 3 private practices, and he worked as a professor of medicine at 4 hospitals: Lutheran Hospital, University of Maryland, The VA, and George Town University. He retired at age 90!
First generation American, Dr. Shaida Sina has over 40 years of experience working in the field of medicine. She began her love affair with medicine when she was given a microscope at age 6. This gave her a different view of life at a young age. When she was 11 years old, she went to work at her father’s medical office answering phones, scheduling appointments. By high school she assisted her father in minor surgery and sterilizing his instruments.
