Here is What Some of Our Physicians Had to Say About Our
Hospital
|
|
Dr. Mark Robson, Family Physician/Anaesthetist
"I am a big fan of ADMH & Arnprior"
"Continuity of care is important for me, as well as the ability to work
in a style of practice that uses all my skills. I can work in OR, ER and
as an anaesthetist. There is no professional isolation -- another
important factor. In terms of lifestyle, Arnprior offers a host of
recreational opportunities. Its proximity to Ottawa is another huge plus
for me."

Dr.
Cathy Greenough,
Internist
"Working here is a
general practitioner’s dream"
"Arnprior is a perfect place to
be for sports enthusiasts. We are close to NHL hockey and the Ottawa
Renegades. There are five reasonably priced golf courses in the area, two ice rinks and a swimming pool,
and Mt. Pakenham and
Calabogie Peaks are close by. We have all the conveniences of city life
because we are so close to Ottawa, but taxes and housing prices are
still cheaper. Professionally, it’s a great spot to be. As a general
internist, I get to do a bit of everything. The number of sub-specialists
is phenomenal."

Dr. Earl Gordon, Family Physician
"We offer a true family practice in
all its elements"
"Here, you’re a real doctor in every sense of the word, not just an office physician.
You feel that you are part of a bigger process. In many ways, the
general practitioners run the hospital because they can follow their
patients right through. You don’t get this aspect of continuity of care
or the feeling that you belong to a fraternity in a city hospital. But
Arnprior is not only a good medical community in which to practise. The
town’s location on two rivers and its proximity to Ottawa enable you to
exercise your preferred lifestyle choice." |
 |
|
Dr. Nguyen Trang, Family Physician
The easy access to lab
reports, x-rays and specialty consultants, and the terrific
collegiality among doctors and hospital staff make it pleasant to
work here. I really appreciate the warm welcome I received from both
the hospital staff and from the community. |

Dr. Christine Schriver, Family Physician
There are many reasons why I chose
Arnprior to practise and why I continue to stay. We have ready access to
multiple specialists. The visiting specialty program is a huge
advantage.
Our internist, Dr. Cathy Greenough, provides us with multiple
services for cardiology and gastroenterology, which decreases the
necessity to make trips into Ottawa. Dr. Greenough is
incredibly accessible and knowledgeable.
Arnprior itself is beautiful. I can cross-country ski almost from my
backdoor, and downhill skiing is a quick jaunt away. Arnprior
offers a great lifestyle for the whole family, and the town’s
proximity to Ottawa allows for an expanded cultural exposure for me
and my family.
