Known around town as a go-to family dentist and dental consultant to local insurance companies, Dr. Kapasi is a hometown hero. He attended three top universities before returning to KW to run Waterloo Family Dental in 1996.
As a member of the Waterloo-Wellington Dental Society, Dr. Kapasi provides at-cost mouth guards and dental advice for families in our community, frequently volunteers with seniors’ programs in the region and has generously volunteered with the charity Health Outreach, travelling to Central America on missions to provide much-needed dental services. When he’s not with patients, Dr. Kapasi enjoys time with his family, music of all genres and sports — especially hockey and basketball. It’s no surprise that our practice sponsors several local kids sports teams.
