Meet the Physicians Behind Your Family's Care

Dr. Michael Varenbut

Family Medicine Physician

For Michael Varenbut, the best part about working in healthcare is getting to see his patients improve and regain their health stability, a journey that affects the individual patient, but also everyone else in their life. Michael earned his Doctor of Medicine with Honours in 1991 from the University of Toronto. He underwent Sleep Medicine Specialty training at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York & at the Stanford University School of Sleep Medicine in 2000. In 2002 he was certified by the American Society of Addiction Medicine in addiction medicine, which he recertified in 2012. Additionally, Michael Varenbut has contributed to a significant body of scholarly work in three primary areas: Addiction Medicine, Sleep Medicine, and Primary Care. He's taught in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto for 13 years, where he also worked as a mentor in the Family Medicine Mentorship Program. Michael's vision of the future of healthcare is simple: He hopes for a world where we ensure unencumbered access to everyone, regardless of financial ability, race, or health, to world-class, best in practice healthcare services. He also hopes to see a push towards preventative medicine as a standard, where instead of treating diseases after they arise, we strive to avoid the disease altogether in the first place by promoting an overall healthy lifestyle.
