A Welcome from Dr. Prem S. Gandham, MD
Your Family Doctor and Founder of the Evergreen Medical Clinic.
Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover! I just love this quote by Mark Twain as I have taken it to heart in all of my endeavors.
Growing up on a Dairy Farm in a rural community, with hard working middle class parents who provided me with a template of what it takes to realize ones dreams, what it takes to help others in need, and what it takes to sleep soundly at night knowing that you put in a honest days work to the best of your abilities. This experience has given me the strength to complete my Undergraduate Studies, Medical Schooling overseas, and then returning to Canada to complete my Family Medicine Training at Dalhousie University here in the beautiful Maritimes.
Upon completion of my training in Family Medicine in 2010, I joined my wife in Saskatchewan to practice in both Rural and Urban areas as a Family Physician, Emergency Physician, and a Hospitalist. During this time I was appointed as an Associate Professor at the University of Saskatchewan Medical School, eventually attaining the rank of Assistant Professor. Learning, Teaching, and gaining further experience and expertise are the most wonderful elements of being a Physician.
Health is a rapidly evolving specialty, for which I strive to keep up to date through continued learning, conferences, and through ongoing teaching. The main motivation to try to be up to date in my field is to provide the best care possible for my patients through knowledgeable, compassionate, empathic care.
Through the Evergreen Medical Clinic, my scope of family practice includes Pre-natal / Post-natal care, Newborn and General Pediatric care, Adolescent Care, Woman’s Health, Men’s Health, Chronic Disease Management, and Care of the Elderly. I continue to practice ER Medicine and Hospitalist Medicine at the Miramichi Regional Hospital.
Minor Procedures will include both medically necessary procedures and cosmetic procedures are a part of my practice:
- Cortisone injections for Osteoarthritic joints / Bursitis / Tendinitis / Trigger finger and Trigger point injections
- Skin lesions excision and / or Biopsy
- Toe nail excision for Fungal and / or ingrown nails
- Cryotherapy for numerous skin conditions such as Actinic Keratosis, Seborrheic Keratosis, Warts
*All Minor Procedures may be booked through our clinic, but will be performed at the Miramichi Regional Hospital Outpatients Department.
I wish you all a warm welcome to your new clinic.
