Hello and thank you for welcoming me at Thompson Rivers Medical Clinic! I’m a newly licensed Family Physician originally from Russia, where I completed my MD training. I immigrated to Canada in 2002 and worked as a Registered Midwife for several years providing OB services to families in Toronto and Windsor, Ontario. A few years into practice, I decided to expand my scope in primary care in order to be able to take care of a variety of patients at different stages of their lives - Family Medicine sounded like the perfect fit! I’m excited to get to know you all. Thanks again. Mariya Wege.

Dr. Pretorius and Dr. Swart occupy the upper level with Dr. Wege and Dr. Thomasse being downstairs. Shared ideals of client care, ethical practice and physician health are valued. We believe in punctuality but balance this by trying to give clients the attention they need in a timely manner. Sometimes these aims are mutually exclusive. Evidenced based compassionate care provided promptly and efficiently is our aim. The Kamloops Family Practice Residency Program started in July 2014. Thompson Rivers Medical Clinic may be the temporary home to Family Practice Residents Medical Students.
