Dr. K. Ferguson – About Me
I live in Sunderland with my husband Randy and our dog Molly. After 22 yrs of planning we finally built our dream home in Sunderland. I’m getting back to my farming roots! We have 2 children that are grown and live with their soulmates and in Nov 2019 we became grandparents to our lovely Ruby! I enjoy gardening, woodwork, cooking, sewing, power walks, hiking and anything to do with animals…. . You may meet my dog, Molly, as she does join me in clinic some days! I am very blessed to be able to practice medicine each day and take care of a group of great people. It can be very challenging at times but it is always rewarding!
Instead of retiring I will be taking more time off during the winter months with Randy. From mid Oct to end of Nov, then beg of Feb to mid March I will be away. I will have a locum here to see patients in my absence but will be doing my own paperwork and emails.
