Dr. Madeson Basie
Dr. Madeson Basie is a lifelong dental health professional who chose his career path 53 years ago.
With a strong belief that oral care is the gateway to whole-body health, he embraces dentistry with passion and dedication.
Born and raised in small-town Alberta, Dr. Basie attended the University of Alberta in Edmonton, where he graduated in 1967 with a Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in zoology and analytical chemistry.
He then completed his dental training and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1971.
Upon graduation, Dr. Basie moved to Vancouver, where his dental career has flourished ever since.
Throughout his career, he has focused on learning how dentistry can contribute to people’s overall well-being.

His studies were mentored by recognized world experts in each field.
Having discovered in the early 1970s that there was a connection between oral health and whole-body health, Dr. Basie pioneered the process of integrating natural healing advances into his practice, including acupuncture, bioenergetics, nutrition, and related disciplines.
