Education

Just like Dr. Mudhar, Dr. Yasser graduated from UBC’s Faculty of Dentistry. He has been helping patients as a dentist for more than 20 years. 

Treatment Philosophy

Dr. Yasser prides himself on treating all patients with respect and care. He believes that effective treatment starts with listening to you first.
