DR. RACHEL FILICE

I joined the McKenzie dental team when I moved to Calgary in June 2020. I am originally from Hamilton, ON and graduated from dentistry at the University of Toronto in 2018. I enjoy dentistry because it gives me the opportunity to work with other likeminded-passionate individuals to help our patients achieve their dental and overall health goals. In addition, I enjoy the innovative field of dentistry as there are always new techniques, skills, and technologies to learn. Outside of work I love spending time with my husband and our two fur-babies. We love hiking, skiing and exploring the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
