Firas was raised in Ottawa and later moved to Kingston where he attended Queen’s University. He went on to complete his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Detroit Mercy, Michigan. Throughout the years, his personal philosophy has been to offer his patients the best of evidence-based dentistry. This commitment is demonstrated by his continued dedication to learning and participation in the field. Firas completed rotations in Anesthesia, Emergency Room, General Surgery and Medicine as part of a General Practice Residency Program. Before moving to Ottawa, Firas spent 10 years co-founding and managing a successful dental practice with his wife, Susan, in Michigan. During this time, he was awarded the distinguished title of Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. Over the last 10 years, Firas and Susan established and continue to manage the Terry Fox Dental Centre in Kanata. Firas also currently serves as a peer reviewer of manuscripts for the Academy of General Dentistry. Nothing pleases him more than to sit one-on-one with a patient and to provide care using the best of what he has learned over the years. In his spare time, Firas enjoys cycling on the Ottawa River and spending time with his wife and three children.

Following in her father’s footsteps, a physician from small-town Indiana, Susan has aspired from a young age to serve her community. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana University, and later attended Case Western Reserve School of Dentistry where she completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Subsequently, Susan spent a year at Saint Luke’s Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio, completing rotations in Anesthesia, Emergency Room, General Surgery and Medicine as part of a General Practice Residency Program. It was here that she met Firas and never looked back. Susan has worked in dentistry for over 20 years and has helped establish and manage two successful dental practices, including the Terry Fox Dental Centre in Kanata. Throughout her career, Susan has always found a way to give back to her community, and was a dedicated dental volunteer for The Ottawa Mission. She takes pride in treating every patient, from every walk of life, with the upmost respect and with the very best of her skills. Susan is an avid reader and enjoys spending time with her family.
