Cobus Smith MD, FRCS(C)
Dr. Smith immigrated to Canada from South-Africa in 1998. He practiced Orthopaedic Surgery in Regina Saskatchewan, until 2007, when he relocated to Nanaimo.
"I felt that the wait times for Orthopaedic surgery consultation and access to care was unacceptable, which led to the development and design of the Enhanced access to Orthopaedic Care project in Nanaimo."
