Southern Saskatchewan doctor among Canada’s best
He may be one of Canada's best family doctors, but a physician in Radville is quick to give credit to those around him.
Dr. Werner Oberholzer cherishes his role as a family physician. There's no doubt the joy he takes from his work played a big part in him being named one of the 2013 Family Doctors Of The Year by the College Of Family Physicians Of Canada.
“Family practice is a fantastic thing. It's like being the Chuck Norris of medicine. You can do anything, anywhere, so long as you put your mind to it and try to provide the best quality of care,” he explained in an interview Monday after his receipt of the award was made public.
“It's a very great honour, but I'm greatly humbled by it as well. I don't think I do any much more than any of the regular family physicians in Saskatchewan,” he said.
