Maria F. Bruce, MD

I grew up in Pakistan and moved to Canada. I decided to go back to medicine school in Pakistan and was honored to be able to provide medical care for children in a third world country. Being a kid at heart, I love being able to provide care to the children who are the most vulnerable population. As a provider, I strive to build relationships with my patients and their parents. I take pride in the fact that I never ignore a parent?s concern.

I went into pediatrics because I love children. It's my calling. It's a blessing to be part of their health journey and for parents trust to trust me with the most important thing in their lives. I love having a positive effect on children's lives - there are so many ways to help that child grow into a healthy adult.
