OUR TEAM
MEET THE TEAM AT FORT MCMURRAY ORTHODONTICS
DR. BENJAMIN KOH
Dr. Koh began his journey towards becoming an orthodontist at the University of Western Ontario, where he received his degree of Honours Specialization in Medical Sciences. Immediately upon completion of his undergraduate degree, he moved to Cleveland, Ohio to study at the prestigious Case Western Reserve University, where he received his Doctorate of Dental Medicine degree. He graduated in the top 10 of his class and won several awards. Following his passion for orthodontics, he chose to further his education at a two and a half year Orthodontic Residency Program at the University of Colorado in Denver; obtaining his combined Orthodontic Specialty Degree and Masters of Science in Dentistry.
Outside of orthodontics, Dr. Koh loves to stay active by being an avid volleyball, basketball, and badminton player, and pursuing his other passions like cooking, fishing, and travelling. Together, Dr. Koh and his wife live in Fort McMurray and love contributing to the community!
Fun fact: Did you know that he has his black belt in Tae Kwon Do and competed as a collegiate gymnast and cheerleader for the University of Western Ontario Mustang Cheerleading team, notorious for their national win-streak of over 20 years?
Come and meet Dr. Koh and his team at Fort McMurray Orthodontics, and see how we can create that smile you have always wanted!
