EIOH Resident Spotlight - Dr. Gasser Ibrahim
Dr. Gasser Ibrahim began his dental career in Cairo, Egypt, where he earned his Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree. But it was during his time living in Toronto, Canada, that his path took a defining turn. He discovered that many of the best specialists in town, including Dr. Bobby Baig, Dr. Izchak Barzilay, and Dr. Mario Rotella, were EIOH alumni, inspiring him to come to the institute as well, for a 3-year AEGD residency and research fellowship.
