A Few Words About

OUR HISTORY

Collingwood Cardiology opened in the Georgian Triangle in 2007 by Dr. Eric Goode. After moving from Toronto where he had practiced for 25 years, Dr. Goode opened the practice when he saw there were no cardiology services in the area. Dr. Goode had a strong connection to Collingwood having come since high school. He wanted to provide the same type of patient focused care he had provided in Toronto to this community that meant so much to him. Dr. Goode modelled Collingwood Cardiology after the cardiology practice he left ensuring that every patient received continuity of care from the moment they enter Collingwood.

Over the years, the team has expanded to meet the needs of Collingwood and its surrounding area. This has included providing support services to patients at Collingwood General and Marine Hospital. From our comprehensive services, our state-of-the-art equipment and our amazing skilled team, we have the tools to help you get well again. Collingwood Cardiology is committed to work with your family doctor to provide for your cardiology care.

Our Mission

To provide a continuity of care for all patients and their families that walk through our door making us the top choice for cardiac care in Collingwood.

You’re never alone
with Collingwood Cardiology!
