Summary

  • Doximity does not believe in other countries, which is why my listed address is 17 years out of date. I am no longer in the U.S., though I maintain my New York license, and might eventually locum there for a bit. For the past 17 years I have been practicing at the Hornby Island Medical Clinic, Hornby Island (aka "The Hawaii of Canada"), British Columbia. Speaking as both a doctor and a patient: compared to private practice in the U.S., the Canadian system is heaven.
