Dr. Wong's work philosophy is simple: she considers herself not only a "tooth doctor", but is also interested in the overall healthcare of her patients. Teamwork is essential to her, she believes that the excellent staff at Hillcrest Dental Centre complements her on-going commitment to her patients' dental care. Dr. Wong is especially interested in orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry.

Lindsay returned to Toronto and completed the Mount Sinai Hospital dental residency program and spent time practicing dentistry in a remote village in Northern Ontario.

The aspects of dentistry that Lindsay enjoys most are interacting with patients and serving her community to increase awareness of the importance of good oral health. When she is not practicing dentistry, Lindsay enjoys fitness, playing softball, waterskiing, traveling and spending time with her family. She looks forward to meeting you and your family and making your dental visit a positive experience.
