About Your Vancouver Dentist

Dr. Cornel Gabor graduated from McGill Dental School in 2010. He then moved to Vancouver to complete a one year General Practice Residency at UBC, where he further trained in sedation, surgery, and provided care to underprivileged communities in BC and abroad.

Dr. Gabor strives for high-quality work and is always trying to improve himself by staying current with new techniques and technologies. He attends numerous continuing education courses and is an active member of the Canadian Association of Restorative Dentistry and Prosthodontics (CARDP). He is also dedicated to teaching dental students, which he has done at McGill for the past 4 years.

Dr. Gabor is excited to be part of the team at Olympic Village Dental and is happy to be practicing in the community in which he lives. “Surrounding myself in a dental office with like-minded people with similar goals and qualities is the way to provide patients with the highest standard of care and an overall heightened patient experience.”

When he is not at the office, Dr. Gabor enjoys playing tennis, going to the gym, and snowboarding. He also enjoys travelling as he is always looking for a new part of the world to explore.

Dr. Nazemi was born in Tehran, Iran, and moved to Vancouver at the age of 9. He attended Simon Fraser University for an undergraduate degree in Chemistry before completing his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry at UBC. After graduation, Dr. Nazemi worked in Northern Alberta to gain experience and challenge himself with his new profession. Dr. Nazemi enjoys working out, family time, and learning new skills. He has a passion for a healthy lifestyle and embraces that as much as he can while not in the office. Since living in Alberta he has indulged in such hobbies as quad mudding and ice fishing! He’s also put much time into home renovations and carpentry. If he’s not in the dental office or at the gym, he enjoys spending quality time with his two young nephews!

Dr. Nazemi is determined to improve his skill set by learning every day. Continuing education in areas such as surgery and sedation practices has allowed him to become versed in more complex procedures. He feels the best patient experience comes with knowing exactly what the patient wants, and striving to meet that goal. “Helping people has always been of importance to me. The reason I sought out becoming a doctor was to do so. But becoming a dentist allowed me the skill set to enrich people’s lives. There’s nothing better than knowing you made someone’s life that much happier”.
