We are a primary healthcare team serving the Comox Valley. We believe that health begins with thriving partnerships between patients and their healthcare providers. We aim to provide accessible, timely, and compassionate care to support our patients, through a blend of traditional clinic visits and virtual visits. We aim to engage patients as active participants in their health and utilize innovative technology to progress with the evolving demands of our community. We are also committed to engaging with our broader community through group medical visits, workshops, and other events.

We aim to leverage technology to streamline our workflows, and create office efficiencies to keep overhead low. Each of our physicians does some work from home, virtual or admin. We use a modern EMR, Inputhealth.

Community Information:

The Comox Valley is one of the fastest growing communities in BC, and with good reason. We have all the amenities, business and conveniences of a larger centre, but with the perks of a smaller town.

This region has endless opportunities for outdoor exploration and recreation, and boasts truly incredible natural beauty, to be enjoyed all year long.

The rapid growth of this area brings with it a real vitality, as well as an ever-growing list of progressive businesses, such as craft breweries, boutiques, restaurants, allied health clinics and more.
