CAMROSE – A new general practice (GP) physician began practicing this summer in Camrose, bringing improved access to health care to the city and surrounding area.
Dr. David Bolofinde began practicing in Camrose on June 7, 2023 and is working from Gemini Health Clinic at 6708 48 Ave. He is accepting new patients and taking appointments at 780-672-9850.
With Dr. Bolofinde’s arrival, Camrose has 38 GP physicians practicing in the community.
“General practice physicians are vital to the health of families and communities,” says Jackie Lovely, MLA for Camrose. “Dr. Bolofinde will be a welcome addition to Camrose.”
Dr. Bolofinde received his medical training in Nigeria, where he most recently practiced, and brings a background in obstetrics along with his experience as a GP. He will be relocating to Camrose from Calgary and is looking forward to getting to know his new community and colleagues.
“I look forward to experiencing the warmth and hospitality while I join the wonderful team of doctors already there.”
He is also looking forward to pursuing his hobbies, including basketball, teaching music and playing and coaching soccer.
