Hear what a few of our emergency-trained doctors have to say...
Dr. Tim St. Amand
"It’s really just simple kindness and caring for individuals. Letting people know that they are welcome here at Niagara Health"
Dr. Melanie Senechal
"Patients deserve to have a doctor that cares about them. If a patient is struggling — say we’ve just diagnosed cancer —I’ll cry with them, hold them. I’m not a cement box. I treat people like they are my family"
Dr. David Heywood
"One of the things I love about being an emergency physician is the amazing people I get to work with. I am so grateful for the dedicated teams that we have in the Emergency Department at Niagara Health."
