I've been coming to Watson Lake to do locums for years now. I keep coming back because it's a great group of people and setting for rural medicine. You just can't find this type of medicine in a city.– Dr. Morgan Brache
Here at YukonDocs, we love to celebrate our physicians, and what better way to do that then to learn a little more about them! Get a more in-depth look at the people behind the white coats you may be working with.
Through personal questionnaires, we have asked our Featured Physicians some questions you may want to know about them!
A Yukon physician will be featured each month, so check back often to see more colleagues/friends!
