Frank is the principal dentist and founder of Abbotsford Dental and Stanley Street Dental. Frank has developed a loyal patient base over the years due to his attention to detail and good sense of humour. Frank enjoys all elements of general dentistry but has a particular passion for smile makeovers and Invisalign. In 2013, Frank experienced a cancer scare; the silver lining, however, was the way he adopted a holistic and minimally invasive approach to all of his patients and treats them as people, not just teeth.
