When he’s not in the clinic, Dr. Michael enjoys cycling, badminton, and spending time with his family, including his two young daughters.

Dr. Michael’s favourite part of being a dentist is taking pride in his work and forming long-term relationships with patients. He finds joy in watching his patients grow and seeing his dental work stand the test of time. His tip for a healthy smile: “Spit your toothpaste as much as you want, but don’t rinse your mouth, as toothpaste can protect your teeth.”
