Springfarm Dental

The friendly team at Springfarm Dental in Thornhill is led by Dr. Jordon Lazare and Dr. Steve Colomby. Though the two have been practicing dentistry together at the Thornhill clinic for years, they didn’t meet in dental school or treating patients. Instead, it was on the hockey rink. “I met Steve playing pick-up hockey,” Dr. Lazare says. “We kind of talked over the years and he knew I lived in this area and I hadn’t settled into a specific location. I’d mentioned, ‘If you’re ever looking for somebody to come in there, it would be fun to practice with you.’ ”

Fast forward to 2006, when Dr. Colomby called Dr. Lazare to see if he was still interested in working together. “I’ve been here since then,” Dr. Lazare says. The two dentists set up the practice so they'd alternate days at the clinic. “Dr. Colomby’s here Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m here Tuesdays and Thursdays, and we alternate Fridays,” he explains.
