Clansmen.  After successfully earning his degree, his love of sports led him to the Canadian Football League and he played for both the B.C. Lions and the Hamilton Tiger Cats.

In 1993, he returned to the Fraser Valley and began his practice in Mission, along with his wife, Dr. Diana Germain (General Dentist), and have remained there since.

Dr. Germain strives to keep up-to-date on the latest advances in the dental field, including implant dentistry, while participating in numerous continuing education courses, including Cosmetic and Occlusion.

Dr. Diana Germain General Dentist

Dr. Diana Germain grew up in the North Vancouver area.  It seems only fitting that she chose the dental field for her career, since her father Dr. Cheng (General Dentist) has been a practicing dentist himself since 1966. Dr. Germain received her Bachelors of Science degree, majoring in Kinesiology from Simon Fraser University. During her time at S.F.U., she played for the Varsity Field Hockey team.  Upon completing her degree, she attended the University of British Columbia, and earned her degree in Dentistry.  While at U.B.C., Dr. Germain was a faculty member, and also served on the Admissions Committee for 5 years.  In 1996, she joined her husband, Dr. Joe Germain (General Dentist) at their practice in Mission.

Dr. Germain is active in the dental community, with involvement in the Canadian Dental Association, BC Dental Association, International Association for Orthodontics, Kois Centre and Tucker Gold Study Club. She enjoys spending her free time with her family, and staying active as well serves on the Board of Governors at Meadowridge School.

Dr. Ethan Wiens General Dentist

Dr. Ethan Wiens grew up just next door in Abbotsford where he played competitive baseball for the Abbotsford Cardinals in the British Columbia Premier Baseball League, and obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of the Fraser Valley. It was during his first degree that Dr. Ethan volunteered with the BC Cancer Agency, working as a clinical research assistant screening for oral cancers. It was during this time that he decided to pursue dentistry because he saw the importance of oral health in his community.

Graduating with a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the University of Sydney, he was among the top of his graduating class in academic and clinical performance receiving awards in endodontics, oral surgery, restorative, and research dentistry. He has worked in both the city of Sydney and in rural communities serving patients with complex dental needs. He was also a member of the University of Sydney Faculty of Dentistry where he taught clinical skills in both restorative and oral surgery disciplines. Dr. Wiens takes pride in his attention to detail and strives to ensure patient centered care.

On his days not practicing dentistry, Dr. Wiens and his wife enjoy staying active in the outdoors. He may be found travelling, hiking, skiing, and enjoying all that beautiful British Columbia has to offer!
