“All humanity’s failings stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room by himself. ~ Pascal.” Pascal would’ve been a radiologist if he hadn’t lived 250 years before Roentgen.
Dr. Bob Wood
Dr. Wood graduated with his DDS. MSc, and Diploma in Oral Radiology from the University of Toronto under Dr. Doug Stoneman and Dr. Mike Pharoah and rheumatologist Dr. Peter Lee.
