Family Practice OB

As family doctors with SETFHT, we offer a unique combination of obstetrical and family medicine skills that allow us to provide a holistic approach to your pregnancy, labour, and post-partum care.

We are family doctors who recognize that childbirth is a normal healthy process. We have training and expertise in family-centred, low-risk pregnancy care, and will suggest interventions only when necessary.

We are fortunate to work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team both at our clinic and at the Michael Garron Hospital, where we deliver. Our team includes family medicine residents, nurses, nurse practitioners, dieticians, social workers, obstetricians, anaesthesiologists, paediatricians and lactation consultants. As your primary contact, we will guide you through your pregnancy, labour and delivery and when needed, will connect you with specialty services.

We see patients out of both SETFHT sites, 1871 Danforth Ave and 840 Coxwell Ave, as well as at Health Access Taylor Massey (HATM) in Crescent Town at 4 The Market Pl. We will work with patients to ensure they are seen at the site most convenient for their care.

Feedback

“I had a great experience with the SETFHT. I found the team very friendly and knowledgeable, making sure I understood all my options, and they were so supportive of the choices I made for my pregnancy and delivery. I really felt that they cared not only about the health of my little one and myself but of my experience/happiness as well. They responded quickly whenever I needed to contact them and the appointments were on time. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for care/treatment during their pregnancy and postpartum journey.”

“Dr. Godard is amazing, very knowledgeable and professional. She is very patient to answer all my concerns during the visits. My whole pregnancy under her care was very smooth. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful as well. I also like the ability to access the portal to check doctor messages and appointments. It’s very handy and useful. I would recommend the family practice obstetrics team to family and friends who need the service and care.”

“I received wonderful care from Dr. Kanga and the health team from start to finish. I really appreciated that Dr. Kanga clearly laid out next steps at the end of each appointment. She was always able to answer my questions and was very supportive. I never had to wait for my appointment and it was very easy to secure a time that was convenient. I would recommend Dr. Kanga and the team without hesitation.”
