Dr. Jason Goldthorpe

Dr. Jason Goldthorpe

General Dentist

Dr. Jason grew up in Bangor, N. Ireland where he went on to study Dentistry at Queen’s University Belfast. He qualified in 2008 with Distinctions in Restorative Dentistry. He practiced in the UK for 5 years before his thirst for adventure took him to Vancouver in 2013. He immediately fell in love with BC so decided to sit his NDEB exams and make Vancouver his home.

Jason believes his patients’ comfort and happiness are paramount. He loves to put a smile on their faces whether that be by relieving pain, cosmetic treatments such as veneers, crowns or bonding, Invisalign or even implants.

Outside of the office, Jason enjoys getting out and spending time with his family in the great outdoors. He loves to surf, snowboard and play soccer.

Dr. Aaron Phan

Dr. Aaron Phan

General Dentist

Dr. Aaron Phan was born and raised in Calgary. He lived there his entire life before moving to Sydney Australia where he studied for 4 years and achieved his DMD. Through his time there, he has developed a special interest in oral surgery and general restorative work, but he aims to be a well-rounded general practitioner. 

When dentistry isn’t on his mind, he’s probably thinking about what he’s going to eat for his next meal. He loves food! Dr. Phan enjoys cooking it as much as he does eating it, and he loves trying new dishes and cuisines. Dr. Phan also enjoys traveling, golfing, and is a huge hockey fan (He cheers for the Flames, sorry!). He’s a bit of a techie as well. Whether it be playing games to wind down or tinkering with his computer.
