Grand Erie Public Health (GEPH) in southern Ontario is reminding former patients of Dr. George Chan Dentistry to get tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. 

According to files from GEPH obtained through a freedom-of-information (FOI) request by CBC News, 884 patients at the Brantford clinic were previously sent letters advising them to get tested due to equipment sterilization lapses. The health unit says only about half of individuals who went to the clinic from Nov. 3, 2021, to Nov. 3, 2025, have completed the recommended testing. The clinic, at 353 St. Paul Ave, was shut down Nov. 3.

Chan is listed on the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO) website as having resigned effective July 2. In an email to CBC News, the RCDSO said his resignation means "he is not entitled to practise dentistry in Ontario."
