“I love the City of Edmonton and am honoured to be practicing my career of choice in the wonderful communities of Summerside and Ellerslie”
With regards to his philosophy of dental practice Dr Abou zeid has this to say: “When I was a child I had an unpleasant experience at the Dentist’s office overseas. This experience had me avoid seeing the Dentist for a long time and was an unhealthy course towards my dental and oral health. Fortunately a Canadian Dentist in my teenage years changed that with a pleasant and positive experience. The Dentist was very gentle, compassionate, caring and above all very passionate about his practice of Dentistry. His passion was indeed infectious and was pivotal in my career choice. I aspire to help patients with apprehension through all the resources and training acquired through my dental school training and my continuing education or through referral to specialists when needed. I love the City of Edmonton and am honoured to be practicing my career of choice in the wonderful communities of Summerside and Ellerslie” Dr Abou Zeid also prefers to be called by his first name Dr Amr!
