Doctors recognized by patients for exceptional care

Two Sarnia-Lambton doctors have been recognized by their patients for exceptional care.

Recently retired family physician Dr. Martyn Chilvers, who fills in for his colleagues when necessary, was recognized for his compassion, and commitment throughout his 35-year career.

Patients said Psychiatrist Dr. Todor Dragicevic, who has practiced in Sarnia for five years, does his homework on the issues they're facing, treating them in a reassuring manner with the utmost dignity.

37 nominations were received for the Patients' Choice Awards and the recipients were selected by a patient jury.
