Dr.  John  Laba  

23   years   ago   the   annual   Dr.   John   Laba  Memorial  Dinner   and  CE   tradition  began  as   a   way   of   honouring   the   memory   of   a  beloved   dental   professional   and  colleague.      

 

Dr.   Laba   established   his   practice   in   the  Annapolis   Valley   after   completing   his  Oral   and  Maxillofacial   Surgery   residency  in  1983.    He  became  an  integral  leader  in  all   aspects   of   the   community   offering   a  level   of   patient   care   that   was,   by   all  accounts,   superlative.     He   tragically   died  in   1989,   but   his   legacy   and   influence   on  the  greater  dental  community  lives  on.
