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"
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.
