Dr. Shiavax Cowasji has always been fascinated by the intricacies of medicine. “I was drawn to the challenge of the science itself and the ability to interact with and treat patients each day,” he explains. “One of the reasons I enjoy primary care is because it brings you back to the core of medicine. In addition, I enjoy using advances and developments in the field of medicine.”

At Reliant, Dr. Cowasji spends a lot of time caring for patients who have chronic diseases such as diabetes, COPD, heart disease, congestive heart failure, as well as other problems. Dr. Cowasji says he especially enjoys taking care of geriatric patients. “I have a lot of experience in the care of elders. Many older patients have special needs, from memory impairment to mobility issues. So, it’s very important to give them the care they need so they can have the best quality of life possible.”

Dr. Cowasji is proud of the team-based approach to caring for patients at Reliant Medical Group. “No physician can work as an island,” he explains. “That’s why a team-based approach to care is so important. You need a talented team of doctors, nurses, Advanced Practice Clinicians as well as the support of other team members to provide the best overall care for patients.” Dr. Cowasji feels it’s a privilege to be involved in treating patients each day. “Being a physician, is unique, a calling almost. It’s a humbling experience at times and you come to understand the important role you play in the life of your patients.”

In addition to his work with patients, Dr. Cowasji is dedicated to educating the next generation of physicians and Advanced Practice Clinicians. In his spare time he enjoys going to the beach, hiking, and traveling with his wife and children.
