Harbourside Dental Group

I came to Vancouver from Hong Kong in 1972. My high school education was completed at Sir Winston Churchill high school. After graduating from the faculty of dentistry at U.B.C. in 1982, I attended the surgical residency program at V.G.H. In 1983, I started my private practice with my good friend and classmate, Roger Goncalves, at our original location in North Vancouver’s Capilano Mall.

I consider myself a perpetual student of dentistry. In the past ten to twelve years, I have learned from many wonderful teachers from all over Canada and the United States. I have a special interest in implant dentistry, cosmetic and functional dental rehabilitation. I believe in getting to know my patients, helping them understand their dental condition and then choosing the treatment that is most suitable for themselves.

I am married and I live with my wife of seventeen years, our son and two daughters in Vancouver. I used to ski , play soccer and travel. Now, my favourite hobby is spending time at home and watching my children grow up.

I have always been actively involved in continuing education. Learning new skills and techniques allows me to offer my patients the exceptional dentistry they deserve.
