Our practice will always strive to provide the finest quality dentistry possible in calm and caring surroundings
Dr. Riddell and his team have been serving patients in Abbotsford for more than thirty years. We understand that each patient's needs are different, and we do our utmost to treat our patients with respect and compassion.
To Our Valued Patients
As we celebrate our 35th year together serving patients in Abbotsford, we want to thank all of you who have given us the privilege of being your dentists. Your trust and confidence in us and our staff in providing oral health care has been both professionally rewarding and personally humbling. We are proud to have cared for the same families over many generations - the relationships we have had with so many of you, and with your families, have been one of the most fulfilling pieces of our dental practice. After much deliberation we have decided that it is time to transition into the next phase of our lives with our respective families, and will be retiring in the beginning of January.
It is our greatest desire that our patients be left in the hands of competent and caring dentists. As a result of many conversations and meetings over the past few months, Dr. Allison Atchison and Dr. Pin Gill have purchased this practice and will assume full ownership in January, 2024. While their biographies will be provided on our website shortly, we want to share that both are experienced dentists with an incredible commitment to their patients; you can expect the highest level of gentle care, integrity and trust. They have dedicated their personal time over the past few weeks to be present in the office, getting to know our wonderful staff and the operation of our practice, in an effort to make this a more comfortable transition. We couldn’t be more pleased with the care and attention that they have paid to those they have come into contact with and are confident that they will do the same for you.
We will continue scheduling appointments as normal throughout the remainder of this year, and with Dr.’s Atchison and Gill beginning in January 2024. Please do not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions or concerns.
We wish you all the very best,
Dr. David Larsen & Dr. Bill Riddell
Dr. Allison Atchison D.M.D
Allison was born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; a true prairie girl at heart. The west coast may have stolen her heart, but she still imparts this small town mentality of kindness, patience and sincerity to her practice. She along with her husband and 3 sons, love all that BC has to offer and are proud to call Abbotsford home.
Dr. Allison Atchison completed her Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan in 2011. Upon graduating, she associated in SK for 3 years before moving out west. While starting a family and settling into BC, Dr. Atchison worked at several different offices in the lower mainland, gaining experience and knowledge from many incredible dentists along the way. She is committed to continued learning and education, allowing her to provide the best care possible for her patients and their families.
She always envisioned owning a practice and after an extensive search for the right clinic to call home she connected with Drs. Bill Riddell and David Larsen. Upon their retirement purchased the practice, with her colleague and good friend, Dr. Pin Gill. She is thrilled both Dr. Riddell and Larsen have entrusted the patients and staff of their respective clinics in her and Dr. Gills care.
Dr. Atchison’s greatest skill is her sincere interest and enthusiasm for creating the best experience for her patients. Her kind and understanding nature allows her to provide a calm and comfortable atmosphere; giving her patients the best dental visit possible.
Dr. Pin Gill D.M.D
“I like that doctor!” – 5-year-old Pin.
By the time I was 5 years old, I had been to the physician multiple times when ill and we always left with a gross pink bottle of Amoxicillin. This time, when my tooth was sick, the dentist fixed my cavity, I left pain free, and my love for dentistry began. That love was definitely tested during the sleepless nights of dental school at the University of Manitoba but, although the PTSD still remains, I prevailed and graduated with Honours in 2012.
After graduating, I moved back to the west coast and started practicing as an associate in Abbotsford, BC; it was during this time that Allison and I began working together and became good friends. Working together allowed us to learn that our core values about patient care are very much aligned and we treat every patient as if they were a part of our family (the ones we like, of course). In addition to learning with and from other dentists, I have taken a liking to surgery and have taken multiple implant and gum grafting courses.
I was born and raised in Surrey, BC, and am raising my three beautiful kids with my beautiful wife there as well. When not in the office, you will find me manning the sidelines at our kids’ soccer/hockey games, hanging out with my family and friends, or dreaming about pizza, sometimes all at the same time!
Depending on how they are doing, you can get me extremely animated and excited or completely depressed when chatting about my Vancouver Canucks, Manchester United Football Club or New England Patriots. When you see me in the office, please come at me with your favourite joke as I love to laugh!
