Physician - Gastroenterology

Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center on the St. Lawrence River (The Thousand Islands Region) is in the Northeastern Tier of N.Y.S. on the Canadian border (above the snow belt).  Ottawa (Canada’s Capital) is 45 minutes away and Montreal is 2 hours away. Both are an integral part of our lifestyle offering diverse cultural, shopping and dining options.

The St. Lawrence River and The Thousand Islands provide crystal clear waters to enjoy swimming, boating, water skiing, and diving.  Our close proximity to the Adirondack Mountains and Lake Placid ensure great skiing, hiking and camping. The wine trail for the Thousand Islands starts here and Farmers Markets abound in the area.

The local school system (K-12) offer strong academic programs, special needs support with a large variety of sports programs and extracurricular activities.  Additionally, there are 4 colleges within 30 minute radius.  Housing options include waterfront property; in-town homes and farmland are all affordably priced (even for the new graduate). The reasonable cost of living here allows you to enjoy all this and more (travel, cottage, boat, or even a ski chalet…..).
