About

Welcome to my website. I hope you find it both inspirational and useful. My name is Dr. Deanne M Roberts, M.D.
Before I went to medical school, my first degree was in nutrition (bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition, University of British Columbia).
I have always maintained my professional interest in the importance and powerful effects of diet and nutrition in health and illness. A great deal of my time has been devoted to the study of all aspects of food and nutrition.
Over the decades, my practice has always been founded on a “preventive medicine” or “holistic medicine” approach. Over time, we have shifted to the term “Functional Medicine” as a way of expressing an approach and perspective on health, the healing process and medical care.
I live and practice medicine in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

Office Visits

Considering A First Appointment?

Online Booking:

Please click this link to reach the booking calendar and choose an appointment time that suits you:

deannerobertsmd.inputhealth.com

For all new inquiries and referrals: the first step is to schedule an Inquiry Phone Call with Dr. Roberts (you schedule that for yourself, as above).

Office Visits: The office is just off the corner of West 16th Avenue and MacDonald Street. There is free parking on the street, extra parking under the building, and buses along both 16th Avenue and MacDonald Street.

Please Note: I am not accepting new patients for “general practice” or “primary care” visits – that is, I accept new patients specifically for topics related to my special interest areas. The new patients I see have another doctor or clinic they go to for primary care (GP) visits.

Phone or Video Visits

  • For people in B.C. but at a distance: visits can be done by phone or by secure video link (on your computer or mobile device).
  • For people in the Vancouver area: phone or video visits will be considered for people who have difficulties getting to the office.

How to Start: Please call 778.866.2875 for initial inquiries.
