Dr Shirley making sure every team member is up to speed about 3D bite analysis. Here she is, pointing out which areas bear more force than others upon biting.

ALFIE Team Meeting via Zoom

Happy Birthday to youuuu.  Happy Birthday to youuu!  Happy Birthday Dear Jessie, Happy Birthday to youuuuuu!

Our team extends our congratulations to Derek, who received his white dentist coat!  We couldn't be any prouder!

We're so lucky we have this opportunity to welcome Monica on board Team ALFIE.  She joined us about a month ago and we hope there will be many more years to come on!  

We did dinner and then desserts.  :) :) :)

It was a little windy this day, but we were so glad we met so many new people and got a chance to relax and have fun with some familiar faces!  Stay tuned for our next event (coming soon - in May 2020). 

Seriously, is there anything better than BBQ in August with some of your favourite people in the world?  Yeah, we didn't think so either :D :D :D

Once you've been a part of the ALFIE Family, you're never really gone!  Doctors went to Japan for two weeks and met up with the lovely Yasuko - WOW, has it already been a year?

So...I guess we should stop calling him "boy" soon, LOL!  Congrats to Derek (who we'll be calling 'Doctor Derek' before we know it!!)

Welcome Riho and Farewell Yasuko!  We wish the safest flight back to Japan to Yasuko and we hope to meet again soon :D.

We invited family, friends and dental professionals to our Grand Opening Party.  It was such a great night filled with light snacks and wine. 

All the best birthday wishes to Dr. Kenny.  Thanks to Yuki, who baked and decorated this lovely strawberry cake (It was SOOOOO delicious!) 

We've hosted our first Team Meeting online - Yonge & Steeles with Willowdale!  In the past, we asked the Yonge & Steeles crew to drive over for our meetings - this was always fun, seeing the entire ALFIE team in one place.  But everyone agrees - this is much more convenient. 

We were due for our yearly CPR Certification Renewal - and (LOL) if you've been a patient of ours for a long enough time, you'll know we're sticklers for routine maintenance, upgrades (and hygiene)!!  Here's a shot of our team saving not 1, but 5 dummies.

Wow!  This is a blast from the past - when we had open house at ALFIE Yonge & Steeles.  This photo has got to be over10 years old!! :D  How quickly time flies!

Guess where Dr. Shirley is??

​

Hint 1 - pay attention to the background for clues :) :)

Hint 2 - She met up with ALFIE Alumnus, Miki who is originally from ________ - and we're alllllll jealous. We all miss you, Miki and hope to see you soon 😘

​

*Meanwhile*

We're still open at ALFIE Willowdale and at ALFIE Centerpoint, so give us a call (416) 226-6688.

Miki's Last Day...Also her Birthday!  We don't know whether to be sad about her leaving or happy about her birthday! 

Chinese New Year Lunch with Dr. V :) . Thanksssss Dr. V!

We will miss you, Miki!  It was such a pleasure meeting you and we wish you all the best back in Japan <3.

​

We'd also love to welcome Toni to our Team!  

The dentists and their assistants dancing the Charleston, LOLOL.  Click here to view.  We used the Elf Yourself App :) :) :)

Dr. Shirley and Dr. Kenny are in NYC with Future-Dr. Derek for a dental meeting. 😍😍😍
(😱 anyone else surprised that Derek is growing up so fast???)

In this edition of Team Eats, we give a warm ALFIE welcome to May and Miki!

We were treated to lunch for our Smiling Star Dream Team.  Thanks to Chantal from Nobel Biocare!

From left to right, Goretti, Yuki, Dr. Shirley, and Mina posing with our Canada Day 150 swag :)

We're so grateful to be living in such an amazing country <3 . Happy Birthday, Canada!

We're so excited about the soon-to-open Alfie Headquarters on Willowdale and Alfred.  We stopped by to check in on the progress with our son, Derek and we can only imagine practicing side by side with him a couple of years down the road.  It's approaching closer and closer and we couldn't be more pleased.

The team went out to celebrate Dr. K's birthday last Friday.  You may notice some new faces because we are expanding!  We're looking forward to our second location on Willowdale and Alfred coming soon :)

It's been confirmed by the doctors: next year, we'll be having the Christmas Party at the New Alfie Building :D :D :D.

This year's party involved a field trip to Yorkdale Mall - where the Party Planners got raffle items for us.  Then they joined us at Ladies Golf Club for dinner.  Such a fun night!

So much fun Saturday evening, spent with the team.  We had dinner together, shared some laughs and just enjoyed ourselves.

What a beautiful day on the Toronto Harbourfront!

We took off with family and friends to enjoy a lovely meal and the stunning view.

​

The kids enjoyed a dance competition with the DJ's music in the background, and we caught several water pokemon.

We took a day trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake to have dinner at The Cannery Restaurant.  On the way there, we played some Alfie-Themed Dental Trivia games (LOL, we really, really should have paid attention to how many computer monitors were at the studio...) and spent some time at Fallsview Casino.

Dr. Shirley presented at the 18th International College of Cranio-mandibular Orthopedics Meeting in April, 2015.  Her topic was about 3D Digital applications in Neuromuscular Dentistry.  Yuki joined her as well to spread the knowledge of technology with other dentists from other countries.

Since the last time we offered Invisalign, AlignTech has integrated the use of attachments, iTero digital technology, SmartTrack material and more - it was time for us to revisit it.  We took their fundamentals course at the Westin Harbour Castle Conference Centre and then enjoyed a lovely team dinner at Toula Ristorante and Bar.

We closed up the office for a day so that the whole team could attend a lecture by Dr Sahag Mahseredjian.  It was a fun-filled day - refreshing our knowledge about neuromuscular dentistry and learning some new things as well.  Dr Sahag was such an accomplished speaker, we left with our brains fuller and ready to apply what we learned to create an improved experience for all of our guests.

LOL, it wasn't official, but here's Brave Max getting some dental work done by Dr. Kenny and Jessie, taking one for the team. :D :D :D
