Our Team

Dr. Mark Hawass:

As a pioneering physician specializing in the treatment of chronic pain and arthritis and the founder and lead practitioner at Arthritis VIP, I’ve been dedicated to transforming lives since 2019 through my innovative VIP Biohacking Method.

With over two decades of medical experience, I am a certified specialist in pain management, family medicine, and emergency medicine. Having completed my medical training at Dalhousie University in 2003, I hold certifications from the College of Family Physicians and the College of Emergency Medicine (CCFP and CCFP(EM)). Additionally, I’ve undergone specialized training in Chronic Pain Management from the Canadian Academy of Pain Management.

At Arthritis VIP, my team and I have successfully treated over 1,366 clients, helping them avoid early retirement and business closures caused by debilitating pain! My patient-centred approach ensures that every treatment plan is customized to provide long-term relief and improve quality of life.

Passionate about challenging conventional medical practices, I’ve invested over four years and $500,000 in advanced medical training to develop the VIP Biohacking Method. My dedication to continuous learning and innovation has positioned me as a leader in pain management, helping patients reclaim their health, confidence, and vitality.

When I’m not in the clinic, I stay active through road biking, hiking, and travelling, embodying the principles of optimal health that I encourage in my patients.

My mission is simple: to empower others to live pain-free and thrive in all aspects of their lives.

Noha Zaghlol, MN-NP:

Noha Zaghlol’s journey in healthcare is both personal and professional. As a Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of experience in healthcare, her passion for uncovering the root causes of pain, arthritis, and inflammation stems from her own health struggles with joint pain, back pain, hair loss, weight gain, and fatigue. Determined to find answers beyond conventional medicine, Noha delved into Functional Medicine, where she discovered how interconnected the body truly is.

After graduating from the University of Ottawa in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Noha began her career in the Emergency Department, later earning a certificate in critical care, a Master of Science in Nursing, and a Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner Certificate. However, her personal health challenges led her to the Institute of Functional Medicine, where she found the tools to heal herself and others. Certified in Functional Medicine and Regenerative Injection Treatments, Noha is now committed to helping others achieve lasting wellness by addressing the root causes of their symptoms. She envisions a healthcare system where root cause medicine and chronic disease prevention are integral to aging gracefully.
