Dr. Kevin MacDougall
Dr. Kevin MacDougall was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta and attended the University of Calgary during his undergraduate years. After being accepted into the dental program he then moved up to Edmonton to attend the University of Alberta. During his second year of dental school, Kevin met his lovely wife Rebecca and they got married just before he graduated in 2003.
After graduating from dental school, Kevin took an opportunity to further his dental skills in a small town about 45 minutes South East of Edmonton. After about 2 years of commuting back and forth and a strong desire to get out of the cold winters, he decided it was time to make a move! Having always dreamed about living by the ocean, if it was ever going to happen it had to be now!
In May 2005 Kevin and his family settled in Victoria just before their first son, Kaden, was born in July. Needless to say, it was a busy first few months getting settled into his new practice and becoming first-time parents! Since then there have been two amazing additions to his family, Ryden and Cohen, their identical twins born in May 2010.
Kevin is a member of the Victoria and District Dental Society, the Canadian Dental Association, the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. and the British Columbia Dental Association and loves keeping informed with all the latest dentistry has to offer by attending various continuing education courses.
Most of his free time outside of dentistry is spent with his family. As many of you know he also enjoys fishing whenever possible. Another hobby he has is gold panning. It’s not a very common hobby, but has allowed him the opportunity to go hiking in some incredibly beautiful places on the island.
Kevin feels very fortunate to have a career he truly loves and really enjoys getting to know so many wonderful patients. He appreciates all of the trust patients have placed in him and always strives to provide his best.
