What Our Patients Are Saying

I had a couple friends who were long-time members at Genesis, and decided to finally sign up on their recommendation with Dr. Brown because I was tired of seeing doctors that rush you in and rush you out. She always listens to my concerns and really cares for her patients. 

Dr. Lichtman is always available to answer my medical concerns whether in town or traveling abroad. I can count on her guidance and medical advice whenever and wherever needed. I am very fortunate to be her patient.

Dr. Schwartz is the best diagnostician I know and the most caring doctor. She has helped so many people in my family and is always available for advice. I can’t think of a more passionate, smart, and caring doctor.

How Genesis Began

Dr. Sharla Lichtman and Dr. Rochelle Schwartz have been part of the Genesis Professional Group since its inception in 2001.

In the mid 1990s Dr. Lichtman and Dr. Schwartz  recognized that it was becoming increasingly challenging to provide medical care to their patients as the Ontario healthcare system began to experience radical changes and healthcare cutbacks with a focus on the bottom dollar rather than quality healthcare.

In an attempt to advocate for their patients and the healthcare system they became politically active and founded the Coalition of Family Physicians of Ontario.

From 1996-2000, with a backing of a 4000 family physician membership they worked tirelessly to try to effect positive changes for healthcare and the practice of family medicine. After 4 years of persistent pressure on their medical associations and the government and a regular presence in the media, it became clear to them that their energy and efforts would be better served by doing what they could do best-caring for people in a model that enabled them to practice  personally focused, quality preventative healthcare.

Genesis Professional Group has now grown to include five physicians who all share the same values and deep commitment and  dedication to their

Frequently Asked Questions

During your initial assessment we spent time reviewing your personal, physical, psychological, social and family history.  We also do a detailed assessment of your past and present health in order to determine which issues need to be assessed and pursued in more detail.  We decide together what steps we can take, now and in the future, to move towards a healthier lifestyle. Throughout the process we address your risk factors to establish how we can help you become proactive in your own health care.  During your annual visit we also do a comprehensive physical examination, along with blood work, electrocardiogram, BMI, vision and hearing testing. All the results are compiled and presented in a comprehensive dossier along with our wellness and preventative medicine recommendations.

The Genesis Professional Group includes a registered dietitian, holistic nutritionist, Doctor of naturopathic medicine, chiropractor/acupuncturist, osteopath, Master of social work, professional fitness trainers, instructor in yoga and Pilates.

As part of your annual assessment, you have a certain number of credits towards meeting some of the consultants. The decision on who to see is made collaboratively with your physician based on each individual’s health needs and interests.

You can continue to see any of the consultants for ongoing consultations on a fee-for-service basis that you arrange with the individual consultant.

Any visit concerning an illness, whether physical or emotional, is deemed “medically necessary” and is therefore covered by OHIP.

Your personal physician is available to you outside of office hours in the evening and weekends for urgent medical problems.

We have five physicians who are happy to cover for one another when one of them is away.  However, when possible and most often physicians will keep their laptops and cell phones accessible so they can be reached and remain in close contact with the office.

Our publicly funded healthcare system is being challenged with long wait times for medical testing and specialist consultations. Outside of the Genesis Clinic we cannot guarantee quick or easy access to any service.  However, our physicians are well-respected within the healthcare community and are comfortable to advocate for their patients when necessary and help them navigate through the complex maze of the healthcare system. In addition, we have relationships with a number of specialists and hospitals outside of Ontario and Canada and are happy to facilitate medical care and opinions with them when appropriate.
