Dear Patient,

I will be on maternity leave effective January 1, 2024. Dr. Ashley Esteves will be taking over your care during my absence from January 8, 2024 to September 30, 2024.

Dr. Esteves was born in Toronto and raised in Vaughan, Ontario. She completed a Bachelor’s of Science with Honours degree at York University, followed by medical school at the University of Ottawa. She then completed her Family Medicine residency training at McMaster University. She completed an additional 3 months of Enhanced Skills training through McMaster University in various topics including women’s health, sexual health, and obtained a certificate in trauma counselling for mental health professionals. Since then, she has been providing comprehensive family care to various communities in the Greater Toronto Area. Outside of medicine, she enjoys hiking, playing volleyball and spending time with her two rescue cats. She is looking forward to covering my maternity leave and serving the patients of WMC FHT.
