Lead Dentist & Founder
Dr. Dhafir Ali
Dr. Ali brings a rare combination of global training and decades of hands-on experience to every patient visit. He earned his Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 1987 from the University of Baghdad, and later his Doctor of Medical Dentistry from the University of British Columbia in 2011.
