Meet Dr. Judith Hooker

I consider it a great honour to care for my patients’ oral health. I enjoy coming to work every day and forming lasting relationships with the people I serve. I see many of the children today that I saw in my dental practice 25 years ago, and I love being part of such a wonderful family tradition. The relationships I have formed over the years with patients have enriched my life, and I work hard to help every patient attain optimal oral health.

Education and Continuing Education

Prior to becoming a dentist, I obtained my Bachelor of Science in biology and my Doctorate of Medical Dentistry. Throughout my many years as a dentist, I have been able to learn about the most advanced dental techniques and methods, and I am constantly involved with continuing education to stay on top of emerging research and procedures in my field.

As part of my continuing dental education, I am an active member of the Victoria and District Dental Society study clubs in implant dentistry. I also take courses in oral and facial aesthetics, general dentistry, and Botox therapy. In order to offer my patients state-of-the-art dental care, I continually re-evaluate our techniques and products as new technologies emerge.

In the Practice

Every person is different and has unique dental needs. Part of my job as a dentist is to establish a trusting relationship with each patient so that I am able to ask about their lifestyle and dental history. I always take the time to get to know my patients in order to provide them with the sort of dental treatment that is right for their needs and lifestyle.

I have been practicing dentistry since 1984, and I love my job more than ever. I am proud to work with such a talented and compassionate staff. Our team genuinely cares about each patient and strives for excellence in their care.

Family Life

I was raised in Williams Lake, and my family moved to Victoria when I was in grade 11. After university, I returned to Victoria to rejoin my family and enjoy the Garden City. My husband Bob and I have two sons named Maxim and Taylor, and two crazy cats, Zoe and Jack.

When I am not in the office, I love to cook for my family and dogsit my grand-puppy. Vacation time is spent at Sproat Lake, where we enjoy boating, kayaking, biking, hiking, and gardening.
