Our Philosophy
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.

Style of Practice
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.
On Call Arrangement:
Evenings and weekends you can reach the doctor on call by dialing
370-8180
