Ottawa, Ontario – July 22nd, 2024 – Ottawa Derm & Surgery Centre is honoured to celebrate five years of providing HealthPower to Canadians. Founded in July of 2019, ODC started as a single physician practice in the Ottawa Community. Today, ODC patients are supported by fourteen Healthcare Professionals across three locations in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario, collectively specialized in Laser Dermatology, Aesthetic Medicine, and Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery.
The five year journey through these early 2020’s has been truly exceptional, in every meaning of the word.
Says Richard Levesque, Managing Director at ODC. He goes on to say:
My spouse and founding partner, Dr. Jennifer MacIsaac, Medical Director at ODC, has enabled our growing practice to help and support over 75,000 patients throughout this short time.
We are incredibly blessed with a Team that deeply cherishes the empowerment brought unto patients through our specialized care.
As we reflect on the upbringing of our organization and the future that we’re charting with our family, friends, colleagues, and patients, we are completely energized by the strength and HealthPower of our growing community.
HealthPower has become the defining word, supporting our work’s purpose. The human vitality that comes from looking, feeling, and being healthy is our motive, our raison d’être, and wow…does it ever feel good to do good.
With that said, today we’re engraving our purpose onto our product menu for the sake of Human HealthPower.
Above all skincare, stands the ever-important sunscreen, our protective shield, our anti-ager, our life-saver. As of July 22nd 2024, all sunscreens at ODC will now be sold at cost.* As a Dermatology Practice, protecting skin, the body’s largest organ, is our primary prevention priority. We offer the highest quality medical grade sunscreens in Canada and we want to ensure they are accessible to more Canadians. This structural price change involves a savings up to 45% for our patients. We’re very pleased to implement this change effective immediately and indefinitely.
Happy Birthday ODC and Thank You to our community of supporters, allies, family, and friends. It’s a beautiful village, indeed.
