Dr Gee Retiring

Please read his letter to Patients:
​
Dear Patient,
I’m writing to inform you that I have decided to retire on August 31, 2026. This decision has not
come easily. Caring for you has been one of the greatest privileges of my life and career. I am
deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in me and for allowing me to share in the important
moments of your health and life journey.
I graduated from Birmingham Medical School in 1986 and feel very fortunate to have completed a
medical elective in London, Ontario as part of my undergraduate medical training. This was the
start of a long relationship with this wonderful country and its people. After completing my Family
Medicine Residency in 1991 I went on to build a large and progressive teaching practice in the UK
over the next 19 years. Teaching and mentoring have been an important part of my professional
life and I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead the UBC Family Medicine Strathcona
Residency Program here locally for the last 14 years.
My family & I made the life-changing decision to move to the Comox Valley in 2010. Since arriving
in this community, we have been welcomed with immense kindness, warmth and generosity.
This is now the place we call home and I will always carry enormous appreciation for the people
who allowed us to become part of their lives.
Over the past 16 years, I had the privilege of caring for you through times of joy, uncertainty,
illness, recovery, loss, and resilience. I am inspired by your courage, humour, patience, and
humanity. Thank you for allowing me to work alongside you in pursuit of your wellbeing.
I am pleased to share that Zoe Boschaart (NP), Krista Maxwell (NP), & Paul Neumann (MD) will be
offering ongoing care to my patients.
I would be grateful if you could register with them before my last day otherwise a provider will be
assigned to you.
It has been an honour and a privilege to walk alongside you through so many chapters of life.
I leave with deep appreciation for the opportunity to have served as your Family Physician.

New Physicians and Nurse Practitioners
Courtenay Medical Associates is pleased to announce that Dr Paul Neumann is joining us this Summer. Dr Neumann is a US trained Physician who has worked in Oregon and worldwide setting up Healthcare Services. He will be taking over the care of some of Dr Gee's patients. He will also be supporting Dr Adam Thompson's patients through 2026 as Dr Thompson continues his work as President of Doctors of BC. Dr Thompson will continue to work part-time in 2026.
In 2027 both Drs Neumann and Thompson will be working in full time practice. This will enable Dr Neumann to accept more patients from the Health Connect Registry later this year.
​
We are also pleased to announce that Nurse Practitioner Zoe Bosschaart is joining us. She is an experienced Family Nurse Practitioner who has been working in North Vancouver. She will be taking over the care of some of Dr Gee's patients and then over time will be accepting new patients from the Health Connect Registry.

We hope to shortly bring you more exciting news on new Nurse Practitioners and Family Physicians joining the clinic in 2026!
