“When considering a move from northern Ontario, I was looking for an anesthesia practice that would offer variety and challenge. A visit to Pembroke confirmed those attributes were offered here within a supportive collegial environment. I decided to move here with my family and, twelve years later, no regrets. I have enjoyed an anesthesia practice that has been exciting and rewarding. The local and visiting surgical staff provide me with a great variety of cases allowing me to use both general and regional anesthesia skills to best effect. I have excellent support from my three internal medicine colleagues. A full time nurse in our preoperative assessment clinic helps select patients for consultation where needed.”
“I enjoy canoe camping and snowshoe hiking. I also own a small woodlot on which I plant trees and harvest timber. Pembroke is the ideal location for anyone who enjoys being outdoors in their leisure time. All four seasons lend themselves to outdoor fun. For those who enjoy the city, Pembroke is big enough to offer a range of good restaurants, shopping, and recreational opportunities. If you do wish to make a trip to Ottawa, you can visit for the day and still be home by bedtime. Thus you can enjoy all that the nation's capital offers while returning to a home that costs about half as much as a similar one in Ottawa.”
“If you wish to pursue a career in anesthesia, I would highly recommend the Pembroke Regional Hospital. Our anesthesia team is supportive and skilled. Our surgical team will provide an interesting variety of cases. Our community would welcome you.”
