Dr Yoon-Jai Choi BSc, DDS
I live and practise in: Surrey and Chilliwack
My training: University of Alberta Dental School
Why was I drawn to dentistry: While I was working as a science teacher, Health Sciences Center in Winnipeg gave out my pager number as a dental emergency number to local dentists. I would get people calling me in the middle of the night due to dental pains and emergencies. I explained to them that I am not a dentist and they have the wrong number, and that they should tell their dentists they are giving out the wrong number. I call the hospital every time and asked to stop giving out my number to local dentists. A year and a half of listening to people in dental pain and cries, I decided to become a dentist myself. So here I am!
