Trish Pitchford D.D.

Calgary,AB

Summary

I have a strong grasp on the technical skills required to preform my job at a superior level, and the finesse to engage my patients in the process. I have worked with many dental implant systems over the last 20 years and have a powerful understanding of their uses and benefits.

Over years of practice I have learned to work with and rely on my team for the overall success of each case and the practice in general.

I believe it is important to engage all team members in what I do to ensure a high level of service for each patient and to increase the efficiency of communication with affiliate clinics. I am accomplished in managing staff and running a successful practice in full compliance with patient protections and good dental practice.

I currently volunteer with The College of Alberta Denturists as a subject matter expert, which is my second volunteer position with the College in my career.
