To My Patients,​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​

It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement on May 18, 2022. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for the honour and privilege of being your dentist.​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​

I was thrilled to open my acceptance letter from UBC Dentistry in 1968, as being a dentist had always been my lifelong dream; it truly changed the course of my life.​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​

Since graduating in 1972, opening the Steveston Dental building with Dr. Bob in 1973 and having my daughter, Dr. Michele, join the practice 20 years ago, I have so many fond memories and cherished friendships.​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​

I’ve watched your kids grow up; I’ve shared your pain when going through difficult times; and I’ve shared your happiness during times of celebration. It has been a joy in my life to be able to provide you with dental care for 50 years.​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​

As much as I will miss dentistry, my team and my patients, I look forward to spending time with my family, going for long walks, gardening, golfing, cooking, travelling and volunteering.​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​

From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I look forward to seeing you around the community. I wish you health, happiness, love and laughter.​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​

All the best,​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​

Dr. Doug
