Dr. Gordon Schwartz, DDS, PhD
After receiving my B.Sc. in physiology from McGill (1985), I then went on to pursue an M.Sc. (1988) and Ph.D. from the University de Montreal (1998) in Sciences Neurologiques focussing on facial pain. While completing these degrees, I received my DDS from McGill (1991), worked as a general dentist and then pursued my diploma in Periodontics from University of Toronto (1995). Upon graduating (finally), I began to practice in Montreal as a periodontist while I taught at McGill where I was the director of the undergraduate periodontal program. In 2000, I moved to Ottawa, where I began practicing periodontics and implantology full time and have been doing so since then.
My practice philosophy revolves around communication, concern and providing the highest quality care. It is important that you understand and feel comfortable with all aspects of our time together (including during and after the procedure). It is equally important that I understand, and do my best to address all of your concerns. I am always available to patients.
I have many active interests outside of dentistry, I have two adult children that are still a big focus. I love being outside, often on a bike, and I love to travel.
