Dr. Holm started his clinical practice after returning to Ottawa with his wife and daughter. Since then, they’ve had another daughter. Dr. Holm enjoys spending time with his family and playing outdoors. Dr. Holm is dedicated to providing comprehensive treatment to people of all ages in a relaxed environment. He finds pleasure in helping people achieve their personal optimal oral health. This holds especially true for people with anxiety or fear of the dental chair. He wants College Square Dental to be the place where even the most reluctant of patients can enjoy the process of dentistry.
