Dr. Steve Barkwell was born in Edmonton but spent most of his early years living on the west coast of British Columbia where he attended UBC for his post-secondary education, including Dentistry. He has been back in Alberta for over 10 years practicing dentistry surrounded by friends and family. He is proud to call Sherwood Park home.
As an avid hockey player and fan, you can find Dr. Barkwell playing on multiple teams throughout the year while cheering on the Edmonton Oilers when he’s not playing. Dr. Barkwell also loves to spend his free time going on long bike rides around the river valley.
When he gets extended time off, he loves to travel and adventure. From surfing his favorite lake in Montana to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest peak in Africa, Dr. Barkwell is always game to explore, try out new foods and learn more about different cultures. Sometimes he combines these passions by providing dental services in underserved countries. In his most recent volunteer dentistry trip, he went to Guatemala to provide his expertise.
