Dr. George Parry  

Biography
Born in 1957 in Chatham Ontario

Education
George finished Grade 12 at Chatham Collegiate Institute in 1975.  He graduated High School at Trinity College School in Port Hope, ON in 1976.
After 2 years at Queen’s University in Kingston, George was accepted into Dentistry at University of Western Ontario and graduated with his DDS in 1982.
His interest in dentistry, French and Montreal prompted him to apply and be accepted in the Multidisciplinary Residency Program at the Montreal General Hospital, associated with McGill from July 1982-83.  This is where he also met his life partner with whom he still shares his life.
In August of 1983, George started private practice at the newly opened Tridont Dental Centre (now Rideau Dental Centre) where he is still learning and enjoying practice.
His quest for life-long learning has taken him to the world renowned Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne Florida and he is still following up with semi-annual Study Clubs in Michigan. 

Philosophy
Helping others to become healthier involves listening with intention and without judgement, involving the patient/client in co-discovery, and with thoughtful diagnosis, coming up with options that work.  All this is made easier and more enjoyable with a good sense of humour!

Hobbies and Interests
George makes health part of his every-day experience.  He tries to be active every day, keeping up with physical training year round, summer biking and winter snowshoeing in his beloved Gatineau Hills and of course, skating on the Rideau canal!
