Souzie

Susie was born a dental hygienist which explains why she’s been at it for so long. She graduated from UBC in 1974 in the same Dental Hygiene Class as Dr. Rocky. Together they made quite a pair as Dr. Gale won the Clinical Award for outstanding clinical work and Susie won the Gold Medal for outstanding academic work. When Dr. Rocky went back to school to become a dentist, she offered the dental hygiene job she was leaving to Susie who had just come back from 6 months of travelling in Asia. While working in that job, Susie also did some clinical and classroom teaching at UBC in the Dental Hygiene Program and even occasionally went upstairs to try to teach the dental students a thing or two. The juggling of jobs and positions with the professional associations slowed to a crawl when the children were born and ramped up again when Susie came to work for Dr. Rocky in 1998. Involvement with Girl Guides and Boy Scouts, teaching the children to ski, camping, and time on the Sunshine Coast used up any free time left over. Now a full time hygienist once again, the commitment to improved overall health through improved oral hygiene still motivates Susie with each and every patient. She prefers a gentle approach to dental hygiene and never wants to be known as a nag! She looks forward to seeing you!
