Knowing the patient, not simply treating the condition.

I'm Dr Pid'ange Tampa-Sahum, a UK-trained Family Physician now practising Family Medicine in Ontario. Before medicine I trained in engineering — a discipline that continues to shape the way I approach clinical problems.

Family Medicine gives us the opportunity to look at the whole picture: symptoms, medical history, family history, lifestyle, mental wellbeing, medications, risk factors and priorities. My aim, whether you're visiting for a new problem or the long-term management of a familiar one, is clear, evidence-informed, practical medical guidance.

Engineering teaches you to understand systems. Medicine teaches you that the most important system you'll ever encounter is a human being.
