Bio
Born in Hamilton and raised in Toronto, Jacob Rifkind completed his dental training at the University of Western Ontario before pursuing further training in the United States. First, he completed a hospital dental residency at Columbia University - New York Presbyterian Hospital, then medical school at SUNY Downstate, and finally oral maxillofacial surgery at Kings County Hospital. Jacob initially worked in the United States before moving back home to Toronto to be closer to his family.
Jacob works primarily in the Greater Toronto Area and enjoys teaching oral surgery at the University of Toronto. When the opportunity arose to work at Hollinger Dental, he was initially curious, but the warmth of the town has kept him coming back.
Jacob maintains his medical and dental licenses in New York State. In Canada, he maintains his dental license, anesthesia permit, and is a fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada (oral maxillofacial surgery). He is also a member of multiple oral surgery and dental organizations both in Canada and in the United States.
