Following graduation from the University of British Columbia Faculty of Dentistry in 1982, I became a partner in six lower mainland dental offices over the period of five years. After gathering experience from the various offices, I devoted myself full-time to the North Vancouver office. Moving to our new office in 2003 has allowed us to provide a beautiful and comfortable environment for our patients, in addition to creating an efficient and pleasant workplace.

I have always placed patient care as the focus of my practice. I believe one of the best ways for me to achieve this is to ensure that I devote time to continuing education through courses and study clubs. These allow me to continue developing my skills and keep me abreast of new procedures. This, in turn, allows me to provide optimum treatment choices for my patients. I find esthetic and restorative rehabilitation, as well as implants, exciting areas of dentistry that allow a patient options that would never have been possible in previous years.

“Advances in dentistry have allowed me to provide many of my patients with beautiful smiles, something they may have never imagined. Seeing a patient flash a confident smile is extremely rewarding to me.”

I have lived for a number of years on the North Shore with my wife and our two sons. While none of them will accompany me on my trips up the Grouse Grind, we do enjoy camping and skiing as a family. You will also find me cheering on many soccer, grass hockey, and baseball games. I truly enjoy the community we are in and the variety of activities available to us.
