Our promise
“Do everything possible to meet the patient’s needs. Do not sell them anything they don’t need.”
— Dr. Frederick Kwong, at Seafair since 1981

We respect your time and your budget. We don’t double-book, we explain the “why” behind every recommendation, and almost all of our new patients arrive on a referral from someone we’ve already cared for.

She worked in a large private practice in Alberta for three years before returning home to Vancouver.
