“I had a great experience at Cookstown Dental Center! I went in for a cleaning and a filling, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The staff are very friendly and genuinely care about your comfort. Dr. Khalid was professional, gentle, and made sure I felt at ease the whole time.

Overall, a fast, comfortable, and professional experience—I highly recommend them!”

“I had an amazing experience at Cookstown Dental with Dr. Anwar. I went in with a terrible toothache and needed an extraction, and they were able to get me in very quickly, which I really appreciated. From the moment I arrived, everyone was friendly, welcoming, and very informative about the procedure. During the appointment, Dr. Anwar handed me a TV remote so I could relax and watch my show, which was nice 😊 The extraction itself was truly painless, and the whole experience was far better than I ever expected from a dental visit. Dr. Anwar and the entire team made it a great experience. I highly recommend Cookstown Dental to anyone looking for fast, professional, and genuinely caring service!”

“Dr. Khalid – Truly Exceptional Care! Dr. Khalid is an outstanding communicator who builds trust from the very first question. His explanations are clear, reassuring, and always personalized. He understands that every patient arrives with unique experiences, personalities, and sometimes fears — especially during an annual dental check-up — and he treats each of us with genuine care and respect. His staff welcomed us as if we were family, not strangers. The atmosphere of the clinic is beautifully designed, full of positive energy from the moment you step inside. Even small touches, like complimentary spring water for patients, show how deeply they think about our comfort. We have never experienced this level of care before.

I highly recommend this clinic!”

He did my consultation and recommended the best plan for me. I must say he is very intelligent and great at his job.

Thank you again Dr. Khalid and his staff!”

He mixes the use of bleeding edge technology with traditional dentistry, a refreshing approach!

He used this new technology and administered the freezing with a pen like device and when he was done I was able to eat and drink. That was an amazing feeling. Not what I am used to at other dentist offices. If you ask me I would highly recommend Cookstown Dental. And make sure to ask Dr. Khalid about the pen freezing , it’s quick and completely painless.”

I came in for an emergency dental appointment because of severe tooth pain, and they immediately identified the issue—a root canal was needed, something other clinics had missed.

No complications afterward, and I finally feel relief after weeks of discomfort. If you're looking for a skilled, efficient, and compassionate dentist, they have the whole kit”

“Found Dr Khalid and Cookstown Dental during a dental emergency, the staff and Dr Khalid himself were extremely nice and supportive during the consultation and during my tooth extraction. I'm a very nervous person when it comes to the dentist and everyone at Cookstown Dental put me at ease! Dr Khalid was gentle, quick and he did an amazing job. He lets you know and reminds you that you are in control and if you feel any pain to let him know, he will stop when you need him to and he's so understanding and informational when it comes to everything dental and dental anxiety! I highly recommend this dentistry to anyone who may have any fears when it comes to going to the dentist. Tasha at the front desk is amazing too! I had many questions and she always got back to me in a timely manner when I left a message with concerns about what I was going through. 10/10 amazing experience, now I look forward to going to the dentist with less anxiety than I had before I stepped foot in the door!”

“I am very impressed with the staff, the up to date equipment and the kindness I was shown when I needed to be seen quickly. Great staff.

“My family and I moved to the area about a year ago and after going for a tour, ended up with Cookstown Dental Centre. The office is clean, bright and beautifully renovated in an old character house. The staff are so kind and patient; knowledgeable and helpful. I have a two year old daughter and Dr. Khalid is so so patient with her while she adjusts to learning about the dentist and what to do when she is there. My husband needed emergency dental work and they were able to get him in right away. I have moved a lot in the last few years and this is by far the best dentist office I have been to in a while.”

The staff is so welcoming and professional. Thank you Dr. Khalid, Trisha Murray, and all staff for such a positive first impression. My family and I look forward to working with you for years to come!”

“I had my first appointment earlier this afternoon and had a great experience, this place makes going to dentist a little less stressful. The owner did a great job transforming an old heritage building into a lovely rustic yet modern dental office. At the front desk you are greeted with a smile from Tasha, who helped answer all my questions and processed my insurance directly so no money was owed. Dr. Khalid and the dental assistant Jessica are very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I had my teeth cleaned by Danielle who was gentle, thorough and an absolute pleasure. All in all this was the best experience I have ever had at the dentist and I look forward to my next visit. I recommend Cookstown Dental Center to everyone in Simcoe County.”

“I love the office. I love the dentist Dr. KHALED and I love the staff every time I’m there. I’m treated with professionalism and everybody is smiling and that is something. I really appreciate. I also want to add that doctor KHALED uses a special freezing tool, every time I get my freezing done. I’m able to resume my work And I don’t have a droopy face or an issue with biting my lip which is something huge for me where I can resume work go see my clients without having any issues. I highly recommend this office. Dr. KHALED is an amazing doctor with a great experience. I can’t say enough good things about him in the staff.”

“Dr. Khalid is by far - in my personal opinion - the best dentist/doctor I have ever encountered! He is extremely thorough and mindful of his patients based on my anecdotal experience (not to mention pretty funny!) He took my X-rays and treated me the same day! He even called me to check back on how the procedure went (an example of going over and above for his patients) His whole team is amazing also! Sarah, his assistant, did a great job and making me feel calm and looked after! Do not go to anyone else for your dentistry needs! Khalid is #1!”

“Thanks to all the staff at Cookstown Dental. From the moment you walk in you're greeted by Tasha who always has a beautiful smile and makes you feel so welcome. The fear of going to the dentist is a thing of the past for me, with the modern equipment they use you literally don't feel a thing! My entire family now comes to this clinic and I will continue recommending this clinic to anyone I talk to. 5 star all the way!!”

“I recently discovered the Cookstown Dental Centre on my own while searching for a dental surgeon who did specialized work such as implants at a reasonable price. I am part way through a full mouth restoration and could not be happier. When I read the google reviews for Dr. Khalid and his fantastic staff, I agreed with every one, even though if I had seen them before my appointments I would have thought "too good to be true". What a gift!”

“love this place and all my family members have made this place their dental clinic. I love how doctor Khalid explains every step in any dental care and how patient the hygienist are. Also Tasha is a great receptionist. I am glad to make this place my dental home.”

“What a great dentist office experience Dr K was awesome. She listened to me and took her time. It is so nice as a mature woman to actually have someone listen to my needs. Also, it was the most calming dental visit I have ever been to. Thank you all .”

“Dr. Khalid provides excellent dental care for my wife and myself. My daughter and grandchildren are also patients. He treats the kids with kindness and a delicate touch. Dr. Khalid expertly prioritizes patient comfort during any dental procedure. Tasha at the front desk ensures all administration runs smoothly and Dr. Khalid's team of dental assistants are professional and thorough. Cookstown is indeed fortunate to have him in our community.”

“We just recently started at Cookstown Dental Centre and they have been nothing short of amazing. I had never been and contacted them with a extremely sore tooth and they took care of me right away, they fixed it extremely promptly. Dr.Khalid and his staff were so caring and treated me wonderfully. I ended up booking appointments for my whole family, and they are now our new dentist!!! Dr.Khalid and his staff go above and beyond for their patients and truly care. My children came home and asked when they can go back lol. Tasha also was a huge help with booking and she helped us figure out a solution with our insurance when I couldn’t, she didn’t have to do that and it truly shows the character of these amazing people. Definitely 5 starts here !!!”

“Amazing service and staff. I drive 40 minutes from East Gwillimbury to the clinic. I have done my dental cleaning, dental crown and surgery at Cookstown because of the amazing staff. Also Dr Anwar has been a doctor for many years since he was in the Canadian Military.”
