Here’s an exert from a recent story published about our clinic in Grand Falls, NB and our view of the future of health care:
I’m Sascha and I’m the CEO of PhysioFirst PC INC. & Capture Therapeutics. I started these practices with one purpose: to offer an improved healthcare experience to everyone. This purpose, that I hold with such strong belief, is for the betterment of both our patients and our employees. I believe that I am pushing the pace to make a difference, a difference in which would encourage patients to trust the process, and feel like professionals are doing all that they can for quality of life betterment. I have lived it, seen it, and have heard patients discuss about how often they simply feel like “a number”, rather than a face in the healthcare system. Furthermore, I wanted to develop a clinic that would change this conception of health care, with a team of professional that worked together and truly communicated common goals within the context of patient-centered care.
I am originally from Grand Falls, New Brunswick. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology at the University of New Brunswick, and later pursued my Master’s degree at McMaster’s University in Ontario. During my years at McMaster, I truly discovered the potential of healthcare and was able to learn the ins and out of multidisciplinary care, to which I discovered that many patients were missing out on. In Ontario, I also had some exposure to women’s health and pediatrics. After completing my masters, I returned to Grand Falls to begin practicing privately and pursued a Doctorate degree through a program in the United States.

My personal goal: I want to grow my practice in the local region, as well as, bring ‘OUR’ services to others throughout the Atlantic region. I want to serve the rural populations whom are lacking access to such services, and give them a chance to experience our impeccable offerings. I want to normalize embarrassing health issues and make them part of everyday conversations. I want us to all live a happier and healthier life through openness and understanding. But, first we need to lift the bar on our standards for health care and demand better for ourselves and our families.
...
We as clinicians must find ways to go above and beyond the limiting factors of our professions to help better serve the people of our communities. We must aim higher, and create new outlets and opportunities for healthcare.
...
I hope that when you enter our clinics - you feel safe, and “at home”. We want you to open up, be honest, and let us help you. We work as a team, and we vision our patients at the core of our team.
...
What are you most proud of professionally? And who or why?
Building a team and a unique culture. A culture that not only focuses on patients and their goals, but also teaches employees to encourage the highest level of support and confidence in such therapeutic practices.
We aspire to improve, to do better than we did the day prior, and to support each other to reach this common goal. We go the extra lengths to make this happen. We are all accountable as a group to achieve this vision. I take pride in helping these professionals grow into becoming educated leaders in their respective fields and industries, furthermore, I encourage them to take risks and push their limits. To challenge the status quo.
We encourage volunteering within the community and demand that our professionals give back to the youth through education programs and talks. We hope to become a standard in health care. We want people to recognize us for not only the quality of care we provide, but also for our uniqueness, transparency, and trustworthiness.
We want to ensure all our patients become empowered, feel “at home”, as well as, taken care of during these vulnerable moment in their lives. We want to eliminate the “health care cracks”. No more lost patients. No more forgotten patients. No more waiting.
We aim to make the journey easier and provide the right support to our clients/patients.

What were your priorities and how did they help you overcome some of the struggles you've faced? What motivated you to make the choices you've made? What are the principles you live by?
In terms of our business: Patient centered care. Our health system has lost much focus on taking care of the patients' goals first and what they want to achieve as their outcome. We ensure that all our patients are: Seen, Heard, & most of all Understood. We want to motivate others to do the same and build a culture that promotes patient centered approaches with full teams acting in the best interest of that particular person.
We have encountered some struggles as we are slightly against the grain, but we aim to do everything in our control to make sure our patients are: shadowed by professionals on their healthcare journey, are receiving the best advice to navigate the system, and are educated to become their own health advocates to ensure quality care in the most stressful moments of their lives.
