Dr. Don Currie
For Dr. Currie, his dental story began as a young child when he was influenced by a close family friend. Through that early interaction, he experienced how dentistry can be so much more than a doctor-patient relationship. It can be friendly, welcoming and personal. It can be a relationship based on trust.
