interview very soon. This time it will be with my dentist, Dr.
Rajiv Arya, who, as you will see, is a very interesting, unique
and multi-faceted individual.
I have been seeing the same dentist for almost 10 years now and
I think he is a really cool guy. He is young, bright, not to
mention good-looking, as well as very friendly and helpful. A
long time ago, when I did not have dental insurance coverage, he
reduced his rates which really helped me out financially a great
deal at the time, something that I appreciate to this day.
In my opinion Dr. Rajiv Arya is a very interesting and unique
individual. We have had many conversations over the years during
my dental visits and I have had a chance to learn a bit more
about him. Not only is Dr. Arya an accomplished dental surgeon,
he also completed a law degree and today practices corporate and
commercial law specializing in the health care industry. This is
in addition to practicing as a dental surgeon. Needless to say,
he completed his dentistry and law degrees with the highest
academic honours and awards.
But we are not just dealing with a distinguished over-achiever

The Dentist Has A Toothache!
Dr. Don Aronson The e-Doctor
Wow! You wouldn t believe it! The dentist had a toothache!
The other night after supper, I found myself with a broken filling, and the beginning of a whopper of a sore tooth.
Finally I went to bed about five hours early...at 7:30 and went right to sleep. Somehow, my subconcious mind must have thought I was still awake!
Ever had that experience?
Thoughts of advertising, banners, search engines, and all the ads we see on the web kept running through my head.
Then it came to me (of course by now i ..
here. Dr. Arya is truly a multi-faceted individual with a
pronounced humanitarian side. Dr. Arya successfully completed a
competitive duathalon in September, 2004 and is currently in
training for a trekking expedition traveling to the Himalayas
scheduled for March, 2005. The trekking expedition is also to
contain a significant study and volunteering component. I will
hopefully be able to convince him to file reports from his
expedition to the Himalayas in the upcoming weeks.
Dr. Arya has volunteered his time throughout his career(s) in
various countries including Canada, India, Malawi and Zambia. He
has participated in racial equity and leadership initiatives in
South Africa, Poland and Germany; including the study of the
far-reaching effects of apartheid and the holocaust. The topic
of racial equity and tolerance has been very dear to my own
heart and I look forward to probing these topics more in our
interview.
Dr. Arya is also scheduled to be a focus commentator in a
documentary, entitled 'The Gate', currently in post-production
that attempts to analyze the tragedies of the holocaust from a
pluralistic perspective. Dr. Arya is also on the board of
Presenting: Dr. Rajiv Arya, My Cool Dentist, (1)When your eyes are open you tend to find wonderful and
extraordinary people right around you. My dentist, Dr. Rajiv
Arya, is one of those indivdiuals. Whenever I go to have my
teeth checked we end up having a very deep conversation, and I
always marvel at what Dr. Arya is involved in. Not only is he a
practicing dentist and a practicing lawyer, Dr. Arya has
volunteered his time and expertise in places like India, Malawi,
Zambia, and of course, Canada. He is one of the most
multi-faceted individuals I know. Without further ado, here he
