Dr. Mischa Snopkowski, M.D. CCFP, B.Sc.
I am excited to be joining the North Shore family practice community as a GP with the Lions Gate Medical Clinic. I am interested in a full spectrum practice, from infants to the elderly. Originally being from Victoria, I am returning to the west coast after eight years in Alberta where I graduated medical school from the University of Alberta, and residency from the University of Calgary. Outside of medicine I enjoy outdoor recreational sports, and am looking forward to exploring the surrounding beauty of North Vancouver.
