One area that particularly impressed them was the broad range of skills and qualifica- tions of the doctors at the Port Perry facility and that other areas of spe- cialty such as gynecology and endo- crinology are provided by regularly scheduled visits of outside specialists. All of this is complemented with our North Durham Family Health Team and the Diagnostic Imaging Centre.” Dr. Schurter continued, “We are extremely proud of our ER, in-patient care, obstetrics, anesthesia, surgical assistance to our general surgeons, nursing home care, palliative care and coroner services.” Further to Dr. Schurter’s com- ments, he also commended the walk- in clinic which is open 363 days a year.
