Testimonials

Chandy Skariah

Very caring and professional dentist!! I initially consulted Dr.Hakeem (suggested by my friend for a second opinion)regarding my daughters braces during August 2016 and today Im a happy father for choosing him for the same. I drove from Newmarket once a month to get his services and he was very caring during the whole ordeal. My daughter has her braces off and on retainers now and she's very confident to smile again. Im glad to see him continue to excel in his field and strongly recommend his services to those in need !!!

GREAT place for orthodontic treatment. I travelled more than an hour every month to come to this clinic for my braces treatment, and the results were worth it. Dr. Hakeem made sure to give me the best possible smile at a very reasonable price! All the staff were super-friendly too! I really appreciate all their efforts over the past 2 years. Not many orthodontists were ready to take my case as it was a bit difficult, but Dr. Hakeem did and I am very happy with the results! Highly recommend.

Dr Hakeem, works with to get the best results possible. He is passionate about his job and it shows through his compassion, communication and excellent customer service. His orthodontic treatments were timely, stayed on track for the 18 month timeline initially estimated and was extremely affordable compared to other clinics. Definitely worth it!
