For Dr. Chris Bryant (DMD’91), being a good mentor is just as important as being a good dentist. An alum of UBC Dentistry, he first recognized the value of mentorship as a student when he met several professors and dental professionals who supported him throughout his degree. He maintained many of these relationships following graduation, and continued to learn from his mentors as he set up his own dental practice in Sooke, B.C.

I admire the way Dr. Bryant interacts with his patients and staff. He’s so empathetic and his patients truly love to come in and see him,” Nils says. “You can tell he spent time getting to know his patients, which is something that drew me to dentistry in the first place — the ability to develop long-lasting relationships — so it was great to see that in practice.”
