Lakeside Dental Centre
Halifax, NS, Canada 
I have nothing but the best to say about my experiences at Lakeside Dental. I have been a patient for about 20 years and counting. Ellen my dentist has helped me so much through out the years. I am very grateful for her and her staff. Very happy patient here.
Excellent and very professional
Dr Lynn is the best dentist ever! The administrative staff are friendly and professional. Always have a few laughs, who knew going to the dentist was so enjoyable.
We’ve been coming to see Dr. Drysdale at Lakeside Dental for many years and now our children are seeing her. Her and Sarah both go above and beyond to make my daughter feel welcomed and comfortable during the appointment. Sarah is great to show our daughter all the tools she uses, makes sure she’s ok to use them and understands why and what they are used for. We’ve had great experiences every time since she was a year old and has made the experience of going to the dentist an enjoyable one, she looks forward to going every time!
Dr. Ellen Drysdale is empathetic and handles anxious patients extremely well. She’s skilled with ++ experience. I highly recommend.
