Daniel Su, DMD

My name is Daniel and I am a 1^st year Periodontics resident. I received my DMD from the University of British Columbia in 2021 and practiced as a general dentist in Salmon Arm, BC for 2 years. I enjoy spending my time outdoors in all the seasons. During the summer, I enjoy hiking, tennis, kayaking and camping. During the winter, I enjoy downhill and cross-country skiing. I enjoy snacking at local bakeries and trying different restaurants. I enjoy cooking and baking at home as well, but I find I have yet to make something as delicious as the food in Winnipeg.
