Notice to Dr Stephen Sharp’s Patients
As some of you may know, for the last couple of years I’ve been involved with a group based in Victoria, Aroga Lifestyle Medicine . Aroga ( Sanskrit for ‘ to be without disease’ ) utilizes a multidisciplinary approach that combines the strengths of Family Medicine and Internal Medicine specialists and that provides in-house access to a supportive team that includes dietitians, counselors, tailored exercise prescribing and exposure to a number of other medical specialties. In 2018, I completed study and became a certified diplomat with the American college of Lifestyle Medicine. Aroga’s Philosophy is reflected by a lifestyle-first approach to prevention, treatment and in some cases, reversal of the chronic conditions that many of you work hard to manage every day. They are expanding their model across Canada and as of September have opened an office in Vancouver. I have been invited to join them and to transfer my practice and patients. I will be relocating to the newly completed office as of January 16, 2023.
Without question, leaving my wonderful colleagues and staff to pursue a new endeavour has been the most difficult decision I can recall having to make. Leaving North Burnaby after 18 years will be equally difficult. That said, I feel strongly that my move to Aroga will allow me to provide an improved experience and optimal patient care for you. Rest assured, aside from the new address ,nothing will change with regard to our physician-patient relationship. All MSP provided services you have come to appreciate will remain, and your medical records will be expertly and professionally transferred to the new clinic.
I realize that my moving to a new office will present challenges for some of you, but please know that I and the team at Aroga are just as dedicated to serving you and will greatly appreciate your continued support. It is important to note that currently, none of our other Norburn physicians are accepting new patients. However at some point in the future, there may be an opportunity for those of you wanting a physician with an office close to home to transfer to a new physician should one become available . Certainly, those of you wishing to search for a new physician to assume your care are welcome to do so but until such time, I will continue to serve as your family doctor. To schedule appointments from January 16 onward please contact the number shared below. If for any reason you would prefer not to follow to the new clinic, you may contact us at the same number to request copies of your records.
