Dr. Jeffrey Ma, DDS - Owner
Hi. If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for a new dentist.
You’ve probably read a lot of “About the Dentist” pages with lists of schools and certifications. Is that really what you’re looking for? Do they really help you know who the dentist is, or how they will take care of you? Not really.
You probably already know I have all the requirements necessary to be your dentist. So this is going to be different. I promise.
What’s really important – and you deserve to know – is why you should trust me with you and your family’s dental health.
So here’s my story. I hope it helps you decide, and I hope to hear your story someday too!

Dr. Brandon Hiang, DMD
I was born in Hong Kong and moved to Vancouver when I was 2 years old (my parents helped). Living 30 years on the West Coast, I grew to love fresh seafood, rainy days, and ferry rides. I earned my dental degree from the University of British Columbia in 2010 and practiced in the Lower Mainland for a while before deciding to relocate to Alberta.
Now, 14 years later, I’m proud to call myself a Calgarian. While I cherish trips back to Vancouver for good food and family time, I’m here in Alberta to stay.
I love showing my patients that a trip to the dentist doesn’t have to be scary. I take pride in my chair-side manner and treat everyone who walks through my door with the same care I’d give my own family.
In my free time, I enjoy cooking, solving crosswords, experimenting with mixology, and taking quick weekend trips to the mountains.

Ashleigh, RDH
I’m from a small town in Northern Ontario. I knew I wanted to be a hygienist at a very young age, as teeth have always fascinated me!
I did a co-op placement in High School, which lead to a part-time job. I started my career by studying Dental Assisting and graduated as a Dental Hygienist in 2010.
After graduation, I made my way up to Iqaluit, Nunavut to gain experience. I met my future husband and continued a long distance relationship that lead me out West. We now live in Okotoks with our young son!
Hygiene is my passion and I enjoy taking continuing education courses and learning new techniques.

Kayla, RDA
I was born in Calgary and I’ve been a Dental Assistant since 2012.
Outside of work my free time is in high demand… I adore animals and I love video games.
I’m also an avid reader. My favourite way to travel is by cruise, so it’s hard to beat the combination — a new book (or three) plus endless views and relaxing over the open water!

Andrea, Office Manager
I’ve been in the dental industry for over 20 years, and a part of the Friends and Family dental team since 2014.
I’m originally from Kelowna BC, and moved to Calgary as a young child.
I enjoy spending my spare time with my two children, playing golf, and travelling. In the Winter, I especially enjoy escaping the cold by travelling to tropical destinations.
I’m happy to be part of an excellent team, getting to know each patient, and watching younger patients grow up through the years!
