dr. huda abu-jarad

Dr. Huda Abu-Jarad joined our office as a full-time Associate in September 2007. She earned her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS), with honors, from the Jordan University of Science and Technology in 2000, followed by a residency program at Dammam Central Hospital in Saudi Arabia. She then earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of Alberta in 2005.

Huda was also honored on October 2006 by the Canadian Islamic Congress at a formal dinner at the Parliament for her contribution to Canada's wellbeing. Upon graduation, Dr. Huda worked in Sioux Lookout, Ontario for two years. She provided much needed dental service within the Sioux Lookout Dental Clinic, the O.R. program in the community hospital and to some 25 isolated First Nation communities.

In addition to this, she was dedicated and very keen on providing the students of Pelican Falls High School (a boarding school) with comprehensive dental care before they went back home to their northern communities, an effort that required her presence at the school full-time one week each month. Huda obtained hospital privileges at the Meno Ya Win Health Centre in Sioux Lookout treating pediatric and senior patients under general anesthesia.

Huda's experience up north proved to her first hand how one bad dental experience can traumatize a child for life. Therefore, children's experiences in her dental chair are of the utmost importance to her. Her passion for dentistry is enhanced by her gentle and professional chair side manner which puts her patients at ease.

Huda practices dentistry with integrity and knowledge and is committed to provide the highest quality of dental care to her patients while remaining sensitive to their fears and concerns. Most of Huda's patients in the past two years have been by word of mouth and referral by her committed patients (Thank you). Huda is currently a member of the Canadian Dental Association, the Ontario Dental Association, the Ottawa Dental Society, and the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario.

Huda says: "I could not have reached this far in my career without the support and generosity of my wonderful father (he always told me growing up: “If you want money for books take as much as you want"), love and wisdom of my caring mother, and recently unconditional love and support of my loving husband. When not practicing dentistry you will find me cuddling with my baby girl Jenna. If I haven't met you already, I hope I get the chance to do so soon."
