Please copy and paste this letter into your email and use this email address cpso@cpso.on.ca Subject: Dr. Duane Pelser medical licence We request that you reconsider forcing Dr. D. Pelser of Fonthill, Ontario to re-apply for his medical licence as a new Doctor and expecting him as well as his patients to wait until December for a decision. First and most important, HE IS NOT A NEW DOCTOR. He left a group practice to open a private practice in order to care for his patients in a manner unavailable to him in a group practice. As such he has numerous patients - children, young adults, middle age and seniors - that are now stranded due to this administrative oversight and CPSO’s decision. He is an excellent doctor, not only caring mentally and physically for his patients, but caring for minor details such as no parking fees. Many of his patients followed him from the original Fonthill practice on Pancake Lane, to the McMaster Clinic located in Welland, and finally back to his new Fonthill office. The CPSO's decision is punishing all his patients. This area is already short of doctors. By denying Dr. Pelser the ability to care for his patients you are making us dependent on over flowing walk–in clinics where the doctor’s only care about quantity. The Town of Pelham and the Niagara Region cannot afford to lose Dr. Pelser. Finding a doctor who actually cares about his patients, taking the time needed for each appointment without rushing, not only listening to vaguely worded symptoms but going the extra mile for a diagnosis, giving a number where he can be reached after hours, etc. is a once in a lifetime find. We beg you to please reconsider your decision. Please reverse your decision and reinstate Dr. Pelser's licence immediately. Dr. Pelser and his patients do not deserve this type of punishment for an administrative error. Sign your name Let's let the college know we are not going to go away until Dr Pelser is back being a Doctor!
