Dr. Katie  (Catherine) Walls   BSc, DDS

    I  grew up in Abbotsford,  where my father, Jack, was a dentist serving the community for almost 50 years. I  attended UBC ,completing a science degree and the University of  Alberta for my dental degree. I joined Jack in 1994 and we continued to grow our family practise. My mission is to provide patients with all their dental needs (and wants!) in a setting of comfort and trust.

    I am dedicated to providing excellent technical and preventive services, and to helping my patients feel comfortable that all of their needs are addressed. To me, this means equipping my patients with the information needed to make decisions on care that is best suited for thier particular concerns.  It means sound explanations and differentiating between “needed” care ( to address disease) and “wanted” care (to address cosmetic options). It means following through with planning and collaboration and gentle delivery of care.  

    At Garden Dental we have a team of long term, dedicated staff members and a loyal patient base who have, by word of mouth referrals, aided in building our practise. I am active in staying current in my field with continuing education and study clubs and in community service.

    We are happy to have Dr. Mark Spitz, and Dr. Julia Ratkay permanently joining the practise.
