Our Staff
Meet our physicians and other staff members.
We currently provide clinic space for four family physicians, as well as qathet Primary Care Network staff.

A graduate of the UBC Medical school, she heard about qathet from her husband. She fell in love with the Harvie Avenue clinic during her rural residency rotation, as well as the qathet lifestyle and medical community. Her husband is a high school teacher, and they have two children. Dani has a special interest in whole foods plant-based nutrition as medicine, and using lifestyle changes to improve health.
