Team

Administration and Dental Assistants

The people who look after your appointments, insurance and care in the chair.

Dental Administrator

Hope Porteous

Hope is usually the first person you speak to at Ogilvie Dental, whether you call or arrive at reception. As Office Administrator she books and rearranges appointments, submits insurance claims, and goes through estimates with patients so there are no surprises about cost.

If you are not sure what your plan covers, or you need to spread treatment over two benefit years, Hope is the person to ask.

Outside work she enjoys reading and spending time with her family and her dogs.

Dental Assistant

Shilpa Ranwa

Shilpa is a dental assistant at Ogilvie Dental. She works alongside the dentists during examinations and treatment, prepares the room and instruments, takes X-rays where needed, and goes over aftercare instructions with patients before they leave.

If you are uneasy about a procedure, she is used to explaining what is about to happen step by step, and to stopping when you need a break.

Away from the clinic she enjoys travelling and learning about other cultures.

Dental Assistant

Soheir

Soheir is a dental assistant at Ogilvie Dental. She graduated in dentistry from Damascus University in Syria in 2001 and practised there before moving to Canada. She is not registered as a dentist in Ontario and works here as a dental assistant, where her background helps her anticipate what the dentist needs and what a patient is likely to want explained.

She often works with patients who find dental appointments difficult, and takes the time to talk through what is happening before and during a visit.

Away from the clinic, Soheir enjoys reading, DIY projects and spending time with her family.
