Richmond Hill stretches from the Hwy 7 and Yonge St area up past Major Mackenzie Dr and Elgin Mills Rd to the Oak Ridges Moraine around Lake Wilcox. Many residents already head south for work, school or shopping, so a dental visit in North York can fit into a trip you are making anyway.

Our clinic sits beside Fairview Mall and Don Mills station, just north of the Hwy 401 and 404 interchange. If you live on the east side of town near Leslie St or Bayview Ave, Hwy 404 is the most direct way down. If you live closer to Yonge St, you can ride Viva Blue to Finch station and stay on the subway the rest of the way. We are open weekday evenings until 7 pm and Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm, which helps if you commute. Free underground visitor parking is available, and Unit 1 opens right onto the street.

Getting here from Richmond Hill

By car

Take Hwy 404 south toward Toronto. Exit at Sheppard Ave E and head east. Turn onto Parkway Forest Dr, then onto Forest Manor Rd. Our entrance is Unit 1 at street level, with free underground visitor parking.

By transit

Ride Viva Blue south along Yonge St to Finch station. Take TTC Line 1 south to Sheppard-Yonge, then transfer to Line 4 east and get off at Don Mills station, a short walk from the clinic.

Tip: If you take the subway, plan your appointment outside rush hour on Yonge St for a calmer trip, or book a Saturday visit between 10 am and 4 pm.

Unit 1 is outside the building at street level (not in the lobby). Free underground retail visitor parking. From Sheppard Ave E turn onto Parkway Forest Dr, then onto Forest Manor Rd.
