Anguilla Medical Facilities...
Dr. Clyde Bryan &
Atlantic Star Center of Medical Excellence

 
 

Long before we moved to Anguilla, my Dad was an emergency room doctor. He studied at McGill University in Montreal and got his license in 1980. For several years he taught and practiced emergency room medicine. That career ended shortly after my sister was born. Then, he started working at a local walk-in clinic. A tamer life. :-)

When my Dad told his old friends at the Montreal Jewish General (where he taught and practiced emergency room medicine) that he was moving to Anguilla, they immediately told him all about Dr. Clyde Bryan...

Dr. Clyde Bryan

Born in Anguilla from a humble background, Dr. Clyde Bryan was accepted to the University of Prince Edward Island in Canada when he was just 16 years old. He was completely on his own.

He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and went on to apply to McGill University's medical school where he was accepted. Dr. Bryan completed his medical studies in Montreal and went on to do his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the Jewish General Hospital.

Had my Dad stayed at the hospital for a few years longer, he would have taught Dr. Bryan.

What a small world, eh?

Dr. Bryan practiced for a few years in Canada, even going to Northern Quebec where he treated Canada's First Nations in a village called Chisasibi on the shores of James Bay. Later, he returned home to Anguilla.

Dr. Bryan has brought a high quality level of medical care to Anguilla. He gives credit of that quality to the excellent training he received at McGill University.

"After studying medicine at McGill, you should be able to diagnose and treat patients in the middle of the Sahara," he told me with a smile. He continued to explain that McGill trains you to diagnose and treat based on symptoms and a physical examination.

Anguilla lacks extensive lab work, so treatment based on symptoms and a physical is a must in order to make a timely diagnosis. Dr. Clyde Bryan brings that expertise to Anguilla.

His efforts and achievements haven't gone unnoticed.

He has recently been elected a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. There is only one other doctor in the Caribbean who has received such an honor, 1 in Australia, 2 in Canada, and 4 in Japan. It is an incredible title, and is so well deserved! :-)

Atlantic Star Center of Medical Excellence
