Dr. Richard Halpern

Dr. Halpern first completed his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science at Concordia University in Montreal before moving west to study Dentistry at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. After spending two years of dental internship at the Children’s Hospital in Winnipeg, he began a Masters of Science degree from the Medical School at the University of Louisville in Kentucky in Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology. His thesis focused on craniofacial proportions using 3D x-rays (CBCT). After completing his studies in the US, he moved back north to Winnipeg, where he obtained his Orthodontic Specialty from the University of Manitoba.
