Meet your dentist… Dr. Stephen Malfair! 👋 (aka "The Gentle Giant")
After five years on Vancouver Island, Dr. Malfair and his wife, Violeta, moved back to Kelowna in 2002 to take over his childhood dentist’s practice and keep a family tradition of care going in the community.
As one of fewer than 200 Kois Mentors worldwide, he stays deeply involved in advanced training, but what patients notice most is his calm, gentle approach (hence earning his nickname "the gentle giant"). He takes the time to explain things clearly, answer questions, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.
When he’s not at the clinic, you’ll usually find him outdoors with his sons, Dominic and Julien, making the most of life in the Okanagan.
