Dr. Hor Ven Zung states, “I feel privileged that Dr. Barratt has chosen to take over my practice. I know that my patients will be pleased to have their medical needs addressed by a well-trained and kind physician. I want to welcome him and Cassidy to the Kawarthas and him to my practice with the Kawartha North Family Health Team.”
“I look forward to meeting all the patients who will be under my care, and my wife and I are very excited to build a home in the Kawartha Lakes” says Dr. Barratt.
Marina Hodson, KNFHT Executive Director states, “We are so pleased to have Dr. Barratt joining our team and to continue providing services to all Dr. Zung’s patients without disruption.”
