In addition, we are privileged to have Family Medicine Residents as part of our ongoing team. Residents are doctors who have finished medical school and are now completing two years of training to become a family doctor.
The team of health care providers are working for you to provide the best overall care for your health needs. With the variety of team members, we are able to service more patients and allocate the most appropriate member to take care of your health needs. With this approach, you may be seen by a Doctor, Resident Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, Registered Nurse or another health team member depending on the complexity of your health concern.
