Dr Miller has been attending deliveries for over 25 years and still finds it magic every single time. She's the organizer in the group and always has an idea on making things even better. Newly an empty nester, she keeps busy by fattening up her husband and knitting a hat for every FMPC baby.

Dr Engeland fell in love with Guelph when she was a student at U of G and after training in Mississauga she is delighted to be back and putting down roots. Recently an FPMC patient herself, she is enjoying watching her little girl grow while helping FPMC patients grow their own families.
Dr Karen Tam
Dr Helen Vanderkooy
Dr Kristy Engeland
We were thrilled when Dr Tam joined the team in 2022. She grew up in the GTA but fell in love with Guelph while doing her residency at McMaster's KW&Area site. The rest of us were excited that she brought with her a strong sense of community but even more excited that she loves to bake up a storm and share her results! When not working she road bikes in summer and snowboards in winter.

Currently on maternity leave, Dr Vanderkooy is excited to join FPMC after working with the group regularly during her residency. Originally from Guelph, she feels privileged to be a part of welcoming new babies to the region, and is passionate about connecting with expecting and new parents during this exciting time in their lives. Outside of work, she enjoys all types of biking and skiing, and can often be found in the woods exploring with her children.

Dr. Dietrich is excited to join FPMC after relocating from beautiful Victoria, BC. She is enjoying contributing to the community and embracing all that Guelph has to offer! While proud to be a Family Doctor, she will always say that delivering babies is the best part of her job. Outside of work, she can be found in the kitchen trying a new recipe, exploring new coffee shops, or planning her next trip.
