Amir Rezayat

I was born in San Diego, CA but quickly moved at the age of 1 to spend the remainder of my young adult life in the Midwestern oasis that is Cincinnati, OH. Both my upbringing and my current appetite were shaped heavily by my Iranian father’s love for Persian cuisine and my Kentuckian mother’s mastery of down-home southern cooking. After spending my preschool through high school years exclusively in the Queen City, I decided to explore a new part of the country and headed south to attend Wake Forest University in North Carolina. Outside of medicine, my wife and I spend a majority of our time hiking and camping, exploring the expansive and expensive Seattle food scene, and raising our two kitty sons, Benny and Boo. I am beyond excited to remain in Seattle and for the opportunity to work alongside the incredible residents and faculty at Swedish First Hill!
