I highly recommend this dentistry to anyone who may have any fears when it comes to going to the dentist. Tasha at the front desk is amazing too! I had many questions and she always got back to me in a timely manner when I left a message with concerns about what I was going through. 10/10 amazing experience, now I look forward to going to the dentist with less anxiety than I had before I stepped foot in the door!”

My family and I look forward to working with you for years to come!”

“I had my first appointment earlier this afternoon and had a great experience, this place makes going to dentist a little less stressful. The owner did a great job transforming an old heritage building into a lovely rustic yet modern dental office. At the front desk you are greeted with a smile from Tasha, who helped answer all my questions and processed my insurance directly so no money was owed. Dr. Khalid and the dental assistant Jessica are very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I had my teeth cleaned by Danielle who was gentle, thorough and an absolute pleasure.

“I love the office. I love the dentist Dr. KHALED and I love the staff every time I’m there. I’m treated with professionalism and everybody is smiling and that is something. I really appreciate. I also want to add that doctor KHALED uses a special freezing tool, every time I get my freezing done. I’m able to resume my work And I don’t have a droopy face or an issue with biting my lip which is something huge for me where I can resume work go see my clients without having any issues. I highly recommend this office. Dr. KHALED is an amazing doctor with a great experience. I can’t say enough good things about him in the staff.”

“Dr. Khalid is by far - in my personal opinion - the best dentist/doctor I have ever encountered! He is extremely thorough and mindful of his patients based on my anecdotal experience (not to mention pretty funny!) He took my X-rays and treated me the same day! He even called me to check back on how the procedure went (an example of going over and above for his patients) His whole team is amazing also! Sarah, his assistant, did a great job and making me feel calm and looked after! Do not go to anyone else for your dentistry needs! Khalid is #1!”

“Thanks to all the staff at Cookstown Dental. From the moment you walk in you're greeted by Tasha who always has a beautiful smile and makes you feel so welcome. The fear of going to the dentist is a thing of the past for me, with the modern equipment they use you literally don't feel a thing! My entire family now comes to this clinic and I will continue recommending this clinic to anyone I talk to. 5 star all the way!!”

“I recently discovered the Cookstown Dental Centre on my own while searching for a dental surgeon who did specialized work such as implants at a reasonable price. I am part way through a full mouth restoration and could not be happier. When I read the google reviews for Dr. Khalid and his fantastic staff, I agreed with every one, even though if I had seen them before my appointments I would have thought "too good to be true". What a gift!”

“love this place and all my family members have made this place their dental clinic. I love how doctor Khalid explains every step in any dental care and how patient the hygienist are. Also Tasha is a great receptionist. I am glad to make this place my dental home.”

Dr. Khalid expertly prioritizes patient comfort during any dental procedure. Tasha at the front desk ensures all administration runs smoothly and Dr. Khalid's team of dental assistants are professional and thorough. Cookstown is indeed fortunate to have him in our community.”

“We just recently started at Cookstown Dental Centre and they have been nothing short of amazing. I had never been and contacted them with a extremely sore tooth and they took care of me right away, they fixed it extremely promptly. Dr.Khalid and his staff were so caring and treated me wonderfully. I ended up booking appointments for my whole family, and they are now our new dentist!!! Dr.Khalid and his staff go above and beyond for their patients and truly care. My children came home and asked when they can go back lol. Tasha also was a huge help with booking and she helped us figure out a solution with our insurance when I couldn’t, she didn’t have to do that and it truly shows the character of these amazing people. Definitely 5 starts here !!!”

“Amazing service and staff. I drive 40 minutes from East Gwillimbury to the clinic. I have done my dental cleaning, dental crown and surgery at Cookstown because of the amazing staff. Also Dr Anwar has been a doctor for many years since he was in the Canadian Military.”
