Bio
Dr. Geoffrey Walton practices full-time at Lions Gate Hospital as both a General Internal Medicine specialist and Addiction Medicine specialist. He provides inpatient and outpatient (private office based) care in Internal Medicine and inpatient care in Addiction Medicine as part of the Substance Use Assessment Team that he was involved in forming.
Dr. Walton was born in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia but moved out west at age 9 before his family settled in Comox, BC. He did undergraduate training in Chemistry at the University of Victoria, then moved to Vancouver for Medical School. He has lived in the Lower Mainland ever since and has been practicing at Lions Gate Hospital since 2018. He enjoys the access to nature and community that is available in North Vancouver, and after practicing here for some years now lives here with his family including his wife, daughter and dog. He spends as much time with them and his friends as he can. He enjoys running and fitness, he has run several marathons and Hyrox (but he never talks about it).
Dr. Walton is committed to clinical service provision and education. He is actively involved teaching Medical Students and Residents in both of his specialties. He organizes M&M rounds within his Internal Medicine group.
