We’re excited to welcome Dr. Tyler O’Bryan, Liz Nowalk, FNP, Nicole Fortune, RDH, MBA and Ann-Marie Bergeron, RDH, AS to CHCB!

Dr. O’Bryan is board certified in family medicine. He completed his dual undergraduate degrees in Biochemistry (B.Sc.) and Cultural Anthropology (B.A.). He earned his medical degree from St. George’s University School of Medicine with a focus on global health and earned his residency program across Lake Champlain in Plattsburgh, New York. While originally from Canada, he has relocated to Vermont and made it his home. Tyler’s practice interests include infectious disease management, Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), global health, and helping his patients achieve their own health goals. Outside of work, he enjoys family time, cooking and entertaining with his wife, running with his dog, both Nordic and alpine skiing, training for triathlons, and like any good Canadian he also loves hockey. Dr. O’Bryan is accepting new patients at Winooski Family Health.
