More Than a Doctor, She is My Confidant and My Friend

Family Doctor: Elsbeth Van Arkel

Dr. Van Arkel became my family doctor when my previous doctor who had taken care of me since I was an infant, retired. Dr. Van Arkel is more than a doctor, she is my confidant and my friend. She looks after my entire family and has helped guide me through working with an elderly parent and their exceptional needs, which has been a blessing! She is a constant professional, even during her own health issues, and is so respected by my family and I. She demonstrates a commitment to her professional development that is obvious in the work she does, and she the poster person for kindness, caring and empathy in working with others.

Happy World Family Doctor Day – Dr. Van Arkel!
