  • dr. jorell valdes - one of the dentists at blundell dental

    Dr. Jorell Valdes

    After graduating from the University of British Columbia in 2012, Dr. V spent several years practicing in Grande Prairie, Alberta. Our search for just the right associate - one with an easy-going personality as well as great clinical skills - coincided with Jorell's desire to return to this area, and we were excited to have him join our team in September, 2015. He immediately had a great rapport with patients of all ages and after several years, as the practice grew, he had the opportunity to become a partner in the company. We’re happy to have him in this ongoing role in the practice!

    When he's not working, Jorell likes a plethora of activities including cooking, photography, and challenging the slopes in any season, hiking or snowboarding. He favours Earnest Ice Cream's Maple Walnut, and always enjoys the company and conversation with good friends. Jorell has been a Canucks fan for as long as he can remember, and says that was a daunting proposition while living in northern Alberta - one more good reason to be back in the greater Vancouver area!
