About

I am originally from a small reserve in northern BC.  I went to university and medical school at the University of Alberta.  I did my Obs/Gyne residency training at Dalhousie University in Halifax NS before doing a Minimally Invasive Gynecology Fellowship in Regina under Dr. John Thiel.  I currently practice in Regina where I live with my wife and two children.  I am involved in coordinating the MIS Fellowship Program in Regina.  I am the Obs/Gyne Residency Program Director with the University of Saskatchewan for the Regina site, and am the Simulation co-director for the program.  I have an interest in fibroids, endometriosis, hysteroscopic sterilization, chronic pelvic pain, and surgical simulation and am involved in several research studies in these areas.  I am likely known more for my flashy socks than I am for any kind of surgical expertise….
