Patient Experience and Testimonials

"Incredibly Grateful"

I am incredibly grateful to have found Lakeside dental, Dr. Bergen, and his wonderful team!  I have been a patient of Dr. B for over 10 years, he and his staff exceed expectations at every visit and beyond.  This isn’t your regular corporate clinical service, this is a doctor and team of professionals that care, are welcoming and address any feedback or concerns quickly.  It’s comforting not to have to think or worry about my dental care provider. 100% recommend!

Best, Brynne

"A Dental Practice Like No Other"

Lakeside Dental is a dental practice like no other, situated on a quiet neighbourhood street with a beautiful view of Lake Ontario from a single dental chair.  Dr. Bergen has solved some challenging dental issues for me through the years with genuine and comforting concern, always there to listen.  He is supported by a dental assistant and dental hygienist who give their patients the intimate, personal experience they would expect and appreciate.  I always look forward to my visits to Lakeside Dental and I could never imagine going anywhere else.

"I Love To Go To The Dentist"

I love to go to the dentist, honest. Or more specifically to Lakeside Dental in Port Dalhousie, even though I live thirty miles away. 

Doctor David Bergen is thorough and informative in his examinations, alert to a patient’s need for explanation, and so gentle in method that one feels little or no discomfort as he works. He is also an inspiring individual of much accomplishment and knowledge in many fields, and I have learned a great deal from him, all while seated in his dental chair and viewing the seasonal beauties of Lake Ontario out the window. 

His assistant, Jenn and hygienist Edith, prove themselves, on each visit over the years, to be thoroughly up-to-date professionals, well-informed on current and very useful research.  Each one inspires trust and confidence, each one is uniquely delightful and -yes, this is a dental office – a pleasure to be with. 

I’m lucky to be a patient at Lakeside Dental.

"Every Visit Feels Like Visiting Family"

I’ve been seeing Dr. Bergen for over 26 years, ever since he did my veneers when I was 20 years old. His workmanship and attention to detail are truly outstanding, and the quality of care has always been exceptional. My entire family goes to him now, and every visit feels like visiting family. We completely trust him and his team — they’re simply the best!

Thank you!

"The Team at Lakeside Are Outstanding"

I am happy to note that I have been a patient of Dr Bergen’s for over 40 years. He is a calm, confident expert that always does the best for his patients. The expected handshake from Dr B is so very welcome.

The team at Lakeside are outstanding. Edith, Jennifer, and Linda are amazing. Friendly and professional at the same time. You are treated as more than a patient. I actually look forward to going to their office. I’m not sure if many can say that about their dental team.
