We are a group of six family doctors who have formed a team for providing maternity care in Victoria, BC. We created this team in order to provide and develop an excellence in family centered maternity care. This means we practice medicine in a way that puts you, your family, your beliefs, and your ideas at the centre of our attention. We have a wealth of experience collectively and look forward to sharing our skills with you. Our name, Quintessence, reflects the fact that we recognize five distinct periods in maternity care: 0-10 weeks, 10-20 weeks, 20-30 weeks, 30-40 weeks and 40-50 weeks (the postpartum period). Each period is unique and has specific issues that we deal with. As a group we honour those who have provided this care over the ages. We also honour our training in Western medicine and strive to blend the old with the new to reach our goal of excellence in maternity care. Meet the Doctors: You will have the opportunity to meet all the members of our team and ask any questions you may have. Please ask your personal physician about the next 'meet the doctors' night.

Each doctor has an independent practice where she receives and cares for her maternity patients. During regular office hours, your personal physician will direct your care. Each physician is responsible for a 24 hour period when she will be available to the hospital for all of the group's prenatal, delivery and post-natal care. Although you are not guaranteed to have your personal physician at your delivery, you will gain by having doctors who are well rested and focused on your needs. Our team has made the commitment to provide hands-on, personal care throughout your stay in hospital. Our on-call arrangements allow us to be present during your labour without other distractions. We believe this to be of significant benefit to you and your family as it allows us to provide a continual, reassuring and supportive environment throughout your birth experience.
