Our Team
An organization is only as good as its people. That is why at Brooklin Dental Centre we strive to create a great culture, and surround ourselves with passionate, people oriented, growth minded individuals. We proudly introduce our team.
Dr. Hasti Sarabi
Hasti received her Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto, graduating with high distinction. She then went on to receive her dental training at the University of Toronto, graduating on the dean’s list in 2014. She is passionate about dentistry, and has pursued continuing education in a wide range of dental topics. Hasti enjoys spending her free time with her best friend/husband Brian, her smart and funny little girl Nina, and her goofy large sheepadoodle Ollie.
Mandy Donoghue
Mandy is the first person you will meet when you come to Brooklin Dental Centre, and your main point of contact when you reach out to us! Having started her career in the dental industry over 20 years ago, she is experienced and knowledgeable and will be able to answer just about any question you may have. When she’s not managing the office, Mandy enjoys cooking, gardening, doing yoga, or spending time with her son.
Blanca Flores
Blanca was born in El Salvador, and moved to Canada in 2002. Fun fact, Blanca was a hairstylist for 11 years, but she was always interested in dentistry, and in 2024 she decided to make the jump and graduated the Dental Assisting program in Durham College. She loves helping people and has a fascination with teeth and oral health! When she’s not at the office, Blanca enjoys spending time with her 3 children, running, doing yoga, and hiking.
Shaima Haidari
Shaima has been assisting since 2020, graduating from Oxford College. Before joining the dental world, Shaima was actually a journalist! Shaima is an invaluable member of the team. She cares immensely about our patients and the quality of our work, and it shows in her detail oriented and perfectionist personality! When she’s not at Brooklin Dental Centre, she’s spending time with her husband and lovely 3 children.
Yanet Viera
Yanet was born in Cuba and moved to Canada in 2009. She graduated from Toronto College of Dental Hygiene in 2013, and patients love her (because quite frankly, she is awesome!) When she’s not helping patients achieve their healthiest (and shiniest) smile, Yanet enjoys embarking on new adventures, traveling, scuba diving, and spending time with her family and friends.
Yanet just welcomed a baby boy to the family, and is enjoying her maternity leave. She misses her patients and looks forward to seeing them on her return!
Michelle Faria
Michelle graduated from Regency dental hygiene academy in 2010. She loves helping patients achieve a healthy, confident smile. When she’s not at the office she enjoys travelling, trying new foods and spending time with her family. Michelle lives in Brooklin with her husband David and two kids Adriano and Milana.
Laura Lemmond
Laura graduated from Georgian college and did dental assisting for 6 years before becoming a dental hygienist. When she’s not at Brooklin Dental Centre, she’s in Nunavut doing remote dentistry in various clinics! Laura is an avid golfer, and loves going trail running with her dog named Kulu (which is an Inuktitut word used as a term of endearment!)
Our Space
Located in the heart of the historic downtown core, our charming building retains all of its original character and charm, but with all the modern comforts and technology. As soon as you walk through the door, you’ll feel like you’re entering a cozy coffee shop rather than a clinical environment. Our team is dedicated to providing you with personalized care and the latest techniques in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your best oral health.
Our Patients
Seeing our patients feel confident and comfortable with their smile is what makes us feel fulfilled in our craft. Everyone’s dental goals vary, and we will cater our approach to meet your needs; whether that’s improved function, better aesthetics, or optimal oral health and longevity.
