Huntsville’s Hometown IDA welcomed Dr. Richard Br\u00fbl\u00e9 to its newly constructed medical clinic at the end of August, positive news for local residents without a family physician.<\/p>\n

Dr. Br\u00fbl\u00e9 and his wife had been living in Fredericton but wanted to move to his home province of Ontario – he’s from Kitchener but his family cottaged in Gravenhurst. They had visited Ontario several times and her favourite area was Muskoka. When it came time to move, they felt Huntsville was the best choice and Dr. Br\u00fbl\u00e9 reached out to the Hometown IDA – it was a timely call.<\/p>\n

“We were planning to have a doctor here for the community because of the shortage,” said pharmacist Wasim Daoud. “I got a phone call saying that Richard would like to move to the community. I had this space that I was always planning to have something good for the community. It was perfect timing.”<\/p>\n

Daoud had the warehouse area behind the pharmacy renovated into a clinic with multiple examination rooms. “It was a big process to switch it to a medical clinic,” he said. “But Huntsville has a huge shortage of doctors. It’s an underserviced area. Every day when I was working in the dispensary people were asking me if there are doctors accepting new patients.”<\/p>\n

The clinic is a bright, modern and private space – despite being located behind a busy pharmacy.<\/p>\n

Dr. Br\u00fbl\u00e9 hopes to welcome a total of 1500 new patients to the clinic. “My practice is family medicine so my goal is to have whole families (as patients), rather than just one or two members, and make sure they have good access for when they need to see me,” he said. Dr. Br\u00fbl\u00e9 studied at Saba University School of Medicine in the Caribbean, studying for two years there and two years in Baltimore, New York City and Atlanta, followed by a three-year residency in Grand Blanc, Michigan, before moving to Fredericton to join his wife while she studied to be a Registered Nurse.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in being a patient of Dr. Br\u00fbl\u00e9, call the Hometown Clinic at 705-787-1919.<\/p>\n
