A Thunder Bay Dental Family
Our story began in 1980 when Drs. Gail and Brian Scott started the Scott Family Dental practice. Dr. Gail is born and raised in Thunder Bay and decided to move back with Brian after they completed dental school in Toronto. The practice has been serving the Thunder Bay community ever since. Dr. Gail retired from dentistry in 2016, the same year her daughter Donna finished her dental school. Dr. Donna started working in the practice in 2019 after her prosthodontic specialty training in Buffalo, NY. Together, with her husband Dr. Gyula Forgo, represent the second generation of the dentists of the Scott Family Dental centre. Read more here
