Jas

Dental Hygienist

I arrived at The Stockyards Dental with 6 years’ dental hygiene experience and a strong desire to make this office my professional home. After my first visit, and due to the latest technology, eye catching interior décor and amazing team atmosphere I knew this was the place for me. I am a big people person and kindly rewarded as “the voice of the stockyards”. I truly love to help people create healthy beautiful smiles and to help them understand why complete oral care is so beneficial to them and to their overall health. There are not many people that can truly say they love what they do, “I truly love what I do”. My passion is to see all my patients with complete overall systemic health. I am the proud mother of two amazing boys who brighten my every day. I love cooking, running and watching TV with my husband and children as well I love spending time with family. View Full Profile

Business Manager, H.R. , Business Consultant

I have been fortunate to have worked with some amazing dentists over the past years. I started in the field of dentistry in 1978 and since then I have worked with some pretty amazing individuals that have provided me with the knowledge I needed to assist my patients in making educated decisions about their oral health. I started my career at the age of 16 as a dental receptionist part time while in high school back in the late 70’s. Since then I have received my dental assisting diploma from George Brown College back in the early 80’s, and have proceeded to supervise, manage, teach dental hygiene students and consult with dental practices. People are my passion! I want to help our patients meet their oral health goals and have a smile they absolutely love! It is truly a rewarding experience to change patients outlook on their oral health and to change the way they feel about themselves. I could not think of anything else I would prefer to do in life. I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Melissa since Dec 17, 2014, but I have known her for many more years before this. I am thrilled… View Full Profile

Jane

Office Manager, Dental Assistant Level II,

I received my Level II Dental Assisting Diploma from Durham College in 2000. I started my career in the administrative department and developed my skills and education over the past 16 years to now be an intricate member of the back office and Dr. Melissa’s right hand as well as Team Lead for all the Assistants at The Stockyards Dental. Recently I received a promotion and joined the management team at The Stockyards Dental. I have always loved new challenges and are looking forward to helping our patients from an administrative instead of a clinical perspective. I love working with talented and compassionate professionals that have the best interest of the patient in mind. Using dentistry to serve the underprivileged is where my heart beats. Patients appreciate my calm, caring and compassionate nature and we create many wonderful relationships. It is so much easier to educate someone who loves and trusts you. Outside of work, I love watching movies and spending time with my husband Mike and my awesome sons Lucas and Andrew. View Full Profile

Nicole

Administrative Assistant and Dental Assistant

I originally attended a nursing course in college. There was only one part of nursing that did not resonate with me, the part where there are “sad” moments. My dream was to help patients get back to health and nursing just did not fit that bill. I went back to school with a rather big change in fields, “dentistry“… I consider myself fortunate to work for the team at The Stockyards Dental. When I was ready to graduate from Everest College in 2014 with my Level II Dental Assisting Diploma I looked for a place to do my placement and The Stockyards Dental was that place. It was love at first site and what started as a placement ended as a rewarding career choice. Our team is unique and what I bring to it is a huge smile and a huge heart coupled with a unique personality. I always have a smile in my face because it makes patients feel welcome cared for and happy. I enjoy all the stories patients tell me and more I enjoy the personal interaction.

Simone

Administrative Assistant

I was born and raised in Brazil. I graduated from PUC-MG University as an Electrical Engineer and worked 16 years in the field as an administrative assistant to a big corporation. I moved to Canada in 2000. It was a challenge to change careers after so many years but I embraced the move and challenge and decided to change my focus a bit. I was introduced to dentistry in 2007 through a good friend of mine. Over the years, I have grown to love the administrative part of this field and I cannot imagine myself doing anything else. I joined the team at The Stockyards Dental August of 2017 and have made them my “working family”. I love the people I work with! Working at Stockyards Dental and within the Portuguese community is very rewarding for me. I value and respect our patients and I always offer exceptional customer service with caring and kindness. Some of my personal interests include traveling to new places, dining at unique restaurants and of course, body pump workouts! View Full Profile
