GENERAL PRACTICE RESIDENCY

Hello! My name is Madonna and I am currently doing my Orthodontic residency at the University of Toronto. I completed my undergrad at York University and dentistry at University of Toronto. Following that, I spent one year in Montreal doing a hospital residency at the Montreal Children’s Hospital. My interest in Orthodontics first began as a patient once upon a time and peaked during dental school and GPR. I truly appreciate the mentorship I received to help me get here and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you. I know the application process can be daunting so I’m here to help streamline the process for you so you can also achieve your dream!

Hello! My name is Mahdis. I studied Microbiology and Immunology at Dalhousie University for three years and was accepted into dental school before completion of my degree. I graduated from Dalhousie University with a DDS degree in 2019 and went on to pursue a one-year training in hospital dentistry at Sick Kids Hospital in 2020. I am currently a second-year resident in the Orthodontics program at the University of Toronto. I am passionate about the promotion of oral health and provision of dental care to children with special needs. I look forward to sharing my experience with you and helping you throughout your application process in order to achieve your educational and career goals.

Hello! My name is Estelle. I completed my undergrad at the University of Ottawa, then completed my dentistry training at McGill University. I then pursued a General Practice Residency at McGill University, based at the Jewish General Hospital. I love being a General Dentist. I believe it provides me with the opportunity to encounter a wide range of dental issues and to work with all kinds of patients, from kids to adults. It keeps it interesting, challenging and fun! I have been practicing for over 4 years now and have a good feel of the transition period after graduation and the challenges it may bring. I love teaching and sharing my experience with dentists looking into a GPR and searching to explore the world of General Dentistry!

Hi! My name is Maddie, and I am an Orthodontics resident at the University of Toronto. My journey began at McGill University, where I studied Microbiology and Immunology for three years. Before completing my undergraduate degree, I was accepted to dental school at Trinity College Dublin. I graduated after five years in 2019 and returned home to Toronto to begin my General Practice Residency at Mount Sinai Hospital. Before starting my graduate program in Orthodontics, I worked for a year in practice as a general dentist in the GTA. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you as you navigate the application process!

Hello! My name is Justin. I did my undergrad at Western and graduated from dental school at the University of Toronto. Subsequently, I completed a GPR at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. After working as a general dentist for a couple of years, I returned to school to pursue an orthodontic residency at the University of Toronto. I highly enjoyed my time at Sunnybrook and would recommend this experience to any dental student who is interested in doing a GPR. Throughout every step of my educational journey, I received tons of invaluable mentorship and advice. It is my pleasure to return the favour and help you the best that I can!

Hi everyone, my name is Reid. I was born and raised in Grande Prairie, Alberta. I did my undergrad at the Grande Prairie Regional College, during which time I was also playing Junior hockey. I moved to Edmonton in 2017 for dental school at University of Alberta. I then decided I wanted to specialize in OMFS in my 3rd year of dental school. I started off after dental school by completing the University of Alberta General Practice Residency program, before applying to both Canadian and American OMFS programs. I was fortunate enough to be accepted into the OMFS program at the University of Toronto. I am excited to share my knowledge about OMFS as well as GPR programs across the country with anyone who is considering either route post dental school.
