Dr. Charles Omosigho announced this week he will soon be joining four other family physicians who are currently running their practices in the same clinical setting as his.

“I’ll just be walking across the hall here,” he said with a smile, referring to the fact that the Estevan Medical Group, the team he is joining, is conveniently located on the other side of the St. Joseph’s Foundation Medical Clinic, separated only by an open spaced waiting room.

“My practice isn’t changing, I’ll still be here, only on the other side. Joining the others,” said the physician who has been providing a single family physician service to the community.

“It gives me some administrative assistance and an opportunity to confer even more closely with my colleagues,” Omosigho said. “We can share ideas, consult one another, provide better medical service because we’re all family physicians,” he added.

“If one happens to be away or immediately unavailable, perhaps another doctor in the practice can see the patient and they won’t have to wait as long.”

Dr. Omosigho has been in practice in Estevan for the past seven years, and said he is looking forward to the move that will officially take place in early December.

“I will just have to move some desks and a bit of equipment over there,” he said, motioning to the other clinic spaces across the waiting room area.

“I will provide the same services, adults, children, nursing home residents and we all do a rotating on-call service for the emergency room, so none of that changes, just the small shift in location.”

Omosigho will be joining forces with current Estevan Medical Group practitioners doctors Folajimi Akinsete, Mehdi Horri, Michael Ovueni and Constance Ovueni.

“I have an office and examination rooms ready for me over there.”

Those making phone call appointments will be informed by voice mail, that the phone number has been changed and on Dec. 1 the system will provide a direct telephone line to his new home, Estevan Medical Group.
