The Family Practice Maternity Service (FPMS) is a group of dedicated family doctors who are passionate about providing maternity care. Our patients receive personalized, high quality care due to our many years of experience and our commitment to excellence. We believe in teamwork, both with each other and with our patients. Our shared philosophy and practice ensure seamless, consistent care. We attend births at BC Women’s Hospital.
We provide care during:
