Dr. Dan has been married for four years to his wife Danielle, who is a studio artist and a pharmacy technician. They have two cats and are looking forward to settling down in their own place in the city. When he's not taking care of patients, Dr. Dan loves to golf and also enjoys snowboarding, mountain biking, and going on hikes with his wife, Danielle.
A word from Dr. Daniel:
"I am a dentist because I love the satisfaction of helping people, and the relationships I get to have with patients. I also love the satisfaction of making something that was broken whole again. Dentistry is part science and part art, and I find the artistic aspects of dentistry both rewarding and engaging."
