“I have been able to grow my career in ways I never considered before. I now work in a variety of settings with some our city’s most vulnerable patients, and each day I am surrounded by kind and brilliant coworkers. It was an easy decision for me to stay locally after residency.”

“We love the Brantford trails for family biking and running to relieve stress and the river for our kids to enjoy kayaking. After building our roots in the Brantford Medical community we decided to set up our own clinic to meet the diverse needs in the city and welcome other new doctors to join us.”
