Meet Our Team
Dr. Haeri, DDS
I inherited my passion for dentistry from my father and brother who were dentists, and I love the art of dentistry and working with kids. I have been serving the Canadian community for 20 years, and I’m always eager to increase my knowledge and learn more about every aspect of dentistry. I believe in using new technology and keeping up to date with what the dental industry has to offer. I have worked in the public health sector and I’ve treated refugees in other clinics as well as in my own office. I have also volunteered to help seniors in their residences and retirement homes.
I am compassionate and I like to make sure the people that visit Bells Corners Family Dentistry are at ease when they come through the door. In my spare time I enjoy being out in nature, jogging, biking, meditating, doing yoga, cooking and baking. I am a mother to a 14 year old son whom I love dearly.
