Obstetrics and Gynecology

The Department of Obstetrics/Gynecology at Niagara Health delivers 24/7, comprehensive Level 2C for Obstetrics and NICU Services providing low to high-risk care to patients within the Niagara region catchment area.

Surgical services provide a total OR surgical case volume of ~ 1500 per year of which ~1000 are day stay cases. The Program offers full scope minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. The team provides an equal share of OR time to all members of the Department that is responsive to clinical need and OR utilization.

We seek another motivated full time physician with a passion for providing the highest quality care to join our department to meet the continued growing needs of our community. General Obstetrics and Gynecology with an interest in the management of urogynecology, MIS (specific interest in more complicated cases), vulvar care or Maternal Fetal Medicine would be preferred.

The transformation of healthcare service delivery across Niagara continues with planning underway to build an additional ultramodern hospital in South Niagara to provide accessible and quality healthcare to residents of the Southern Region. Niagara Health is positioned, by virtue of its geography and regionally distributed resources, to exemplify the best of regional capacity with local service delivery. Strong academic partnerships are a priority for the NH as the organization builds on a robust relationship with McMaster University’s Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine.
