Our Team
Welcome to my dental practice! I’m Dr.Marjan Heshmati. I graduated from Mashhad University of Medical Science in 2000. I spent 16 years running a private dental practice in Iran before relocating to Canada in 2017.
In 2019, I began my work in lovely Winnipeg, Manitoba, where I practiced for two years before returning to Ontario in 2021. I started a new role in South River, surrounded by wonderful colleagues in a picturesque area. In August 2022, I expanded my practice to various parts of Toronto, gaining valuable experience along the way.
