Dr Nick Fisher has been living and practicing medicine in Pemberton BC since 2014. He trained at the University of Glasgow Medical School, graduating in 2004. During his studies, he joined the British Army and served as a Medical Officer in the US, Germany, and the UK, as well as deploying on operational duties to Iraq, and Afghanistan with 2nd Battalion the Parachute Regiment. 2 PARA provided the perfect environment for him to develop his interests in Sports Medicine, Prehospital Emergency Medicine and High Altitude and Mountain Medicine and, whilst doing so, first became attracted to British Columbia and the draw of the Coast Mountains. After retiring in the rank of Major he moved to Pemberton and now enjoys combining Family and Emergency Medicine with volunteering as team doctor for the Pemberton Search and Rescue team. When not working at the clinic, Nick enjoys hiking, camping, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling and mountain biking, often accompanied by his wife, Jen and dog, Ridley.

Dr Kate Coles completed her medical degree at St. Barts and The Royal London School of Medicine in London, UK in 2007 and went on to complete Foundation level training in Southampton, UK in 2009.

Dr Coles emigrated to Canada in 2016 and is thrilled to be part of this friendly, hard-working, cohesive medical team in Pemberton. When she is not working, you can often find her with her husband Geoff skiing or snowboarding, winter camping, hiking, paddle-boarding, playing tennis or just attempting to bike down Pickle Surprise.

Dr Nick Vagelatos grew up in Whistler, BC and, since his teenage years, always wanted to be a small town GP. This pursuit took him around the world to Australia where he studied Medicine at the University of Sydney. He then completed his residency training in family medicine at the University of British Columbia. His education has brought him full circle as he has finally returned to life in the Sea to Sky.

Outside the office or the emergency room, you'll probably find him and his wife, Brooke, in the mountains, with skis on their feet or wandering through alpine meadows. 

Dr Sarah Hodges moved to Canada from the UK in 2019 with her husband and 3 young sons. Prior to her move to Canada she served in the British Military as a GP - looking after soldiers and their families in the UK and on Operations abroad. She loves everything BC has to offer - particularly skiing and running on the trails. She is thrilled to be part of the Pemberton Medical Team.
