Our Team

We believe in practicing medicine “the right way” and as a team we are passionate about providing good care. We all assist and help each other on a daily basis and are used to fostering an environment of learning, as we are a UBC teaching clinic. We love being able to give back to the community by providing primary care to our patients in New Westminster. Care4You has a tight knit team that promotes collaboration and an open atmosphere where physicians are supported. Moreover, we have a strong team of MOA’s as well as a primary care nurse to support the practice. Our physician and nurse practitioner team at Care4You have a wide variety of medical interests including residential care, maternity, surgical assists, mental health, addictions care, and more.
