“G” likes to tell patients both past and present he graduated from University of Manitoba Dental School in Winnipeg in the last century (pre-Y2K).  He began practicing as a general dentist since returning home to Calgary and mainly worked in the Northeast part of the city.  Being a Calgary native, his hobbies include fishing, wood working, and welded aluminum boating.  He is also an avid gardener of fruits and vegetables.  He indulges in wild mushroom foraging and spends a lot of his spare time in one of the Gulf Islands of the West Coast as a “wannabe-hippie” with a 4×4 travel van.

In the practice of dentistry, his passion in meeting patients to develop long term relationships and personalized dental care is what he is best known for.  Dr. G. enjoys asking people about their background and to simply ask “how’s your day going?”.

Having grown up as a teenager in Singapore until he immigrated to Calgary in 1988, he is able to converse in basic Mandarin.  He is an alumni of Queen Elizabeth High School, but unfortunately did not complete his Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Calgary in Cellular Molecular Biology.  He did however finish his Bachelor of Science while in dental school in Winnipeg.  Dr. G. has published several research articles pertaining to microleakage of composite dental fillings, but he seldom wants to talk about them (Am J Dent. 2001 June;14(3):177-85).

In the past, he has been proudly involved in ownership of several dental clinics in Calgary, mainly Sunridge Dental and Skyview Dental.  Developing Uxbridge Dental from scratch is yet another exciting and fulfilling venture and dream come true.  As the principal dentist at Uxbridge Dental, he will be attending to patients on a full time basis.
