About UsDr. Pearson graduated in 1974 from Dentistry at the University of British Columbia. Prior to graduating he had spent three summers performing biological research in the Yukon and had fallen in love with the Territory and it's unique culture. In 1974 , Dr. Pearson drove north from Vancouver in his 1956 Pontiac, which barely made it to Whitehorse. Dr. Pearson
began his career with the only dental clinic in Whitehorse as an associate of Dr. Pugh and Dr. Banks. After working
in the Yukon for a year or so Dr. Pearson travelled to Pictou, Nova Scotia where he worked for a short period of time until
he and his family decided to return to the Yukon. After working for several years in the Klondyke Clinic, Dr. Pearson found that there was a significant need for additional dentists in Whitehorse to care for the growing population, so in 1990 Chilkoot Dental Clinic was begun.
Finally in 1999, Dr. Pearson acquired the Watson Lake Dental Clinic. Dr. Pearson has been very involved in providing dental care to the more remote areas in the Yukon. He began in 1982 when he visted the Cassiar and Tungsten mines on road trips to provide mine employees with dental care on the mine sites so they did not have to travel into Whitehorse. Now, the Watson Lake Dental Clinic allows patients to receive quality dental care without a 5-hour drive to Whitehorse. The Pearson Group of Clinics is dedicated to the Whitehorse community and continues to provide a great deal of support and envolvement for soccor teams, hockey teams, and other childern's sports activities. Dr. Pearson enjoys sponsoring and participating in many of the community's various children's sports activities.
