Hello!

We recently rolled out a new redesigned version of our website. It still has the same functionality of booking online, paying online, and information for patients who are interested in our practice, just with a new look!

We were recently made aware of a bug on the mobile version of the online booking that made it difficult to proceed through the pages. This has been fixed.

If any other issues are noted, please feel free to reach out to us and let us know!

Thanks for your understanding,
PFD

Time for some local history! 📸 Who remembers when the historic Amherstburg Echo printing office on Dalhousie Street was fully operational? Established in 1874 by William Balfour and John Auld, the Echo kept our community connected for well over a century, tracking generations of births, marriages, and local milestones.

Did your family save old clippings from the Echo over the years? Drop a comment and tell us what local stories you remember reading about!
