Orange Power!

February 1, 2010

I was in a bit of a crisis the last few days.  After deciding to move my practice full time into the Pape & Danforth location, I realised that for this location to be my primary clinic, I needed to renovate.  The place looked reasonable and professional but had always lacked any real feeling or [...]

January 18, 2010

I just got back from Cuba a week ago and let me tell you, it was just what the doctor ordered. The warm tropical air, amazing music and friendly people were just what I needed to get through another Canadian winter. I didn’t go to Cuba just for fun though. I turned the vacation into [...]

The Longest Wait

September 23, 2009

Yesterday’s attempt at free publicity is already behind me, but now that the cameras are put away and the lights aren’t glaring in my eyes anymore, I find myself anxious to see how it turned out.  The cast and crew were at my clinic for about an hour and probably put together a minute and [...]

Jogging for Charity

July 9, 2009

I just got an email from the organizers of the Fresh Air Fund Half Marathon in NYC.  It’s a bit far away from Toronto, but it sounds like a great cause.  If any of you can help them out, they would really appreciate it. “Would you like to run this year’s New York City Half-Marathon on August [...]
