Fishermen’s Community Hospital is pleased to announce the hiring of Surgeon Reza Keshavarzi, MD. Keshavarzi joined the practice of Steve Smith, MD in November 2011. Keshavarzi arrived in the Keys following the completion of his residency in General Surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami.

Keshavarzi comes to the Keys from Pompano Beach, Florida and earned his Bachelor of Science Degree from University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky. He continued his education at the University Of Kentucky College of Medicine in Lexington, Kentucky completing his Medical Degree with distinctions in 2005.
