Dr. Don McConnellMD, FRCPC ( Pediatrics), Fellowship in Pediatric Dermatology - Latitude Pediatric Dermatology
Dr. McConnell spent 15 years working as Pediatric Emergency Doctor in Halifax and Edmonton. He then completed his fellowship in Pediatric Dermatology in Phoenix, Arizona.
Outside of work, he enjoys sailing, golfing, tennis, and spending time with his three kids. You may even see Dr. McConnell around town in our local hockey and lacrosse arenas.
Jennifer Popil is a highly skilled and dedicated professional Office Manager with a keen eye for detail, a passion for organizational excellence, exceptional leadership abilities, and expertise in streamlining processes, resulting in efficient office operations and increased productivity.
Jennifer is an awesome nurse who works directly with Dr. McConnell. She is extremely educated and experienced in pediatrics but has particular expertise in pediatric dermatology. First-time patients will often see Jennifer before seeing Dr. McConnell. She has a very friendly, quirky (in a good way) approach to pediatric dermatology patients.
Our Story
Our primary objective is to deliver quality healthcare services to young patients in Edmonton in a welcoming and professional atmosphere. However, once a patient reaches the age of eighteen, their healthcare needs will be transferred to an adult care provider to ensure continuity of care.
