Get to Know Us

Dr. Jason Schneidman

Dentist / Founder

My role at Lake Dentaire: I’m the co-founder of Lake Dentaire! My wife, Nazanin, and I met at McGill, when we were both in dental school. Over the years, we talked about opening our own practice together and we worked hard to make that dream become a reality. We opened Lake Dentaire in February 2019 with the goal of changing the way patients perceive dentistry. We have created a calm and fun environment for all members of the family! I’m the main clinician in our practice and I really enjoy getting to meet and help different people in our community!
I speak: English and French!
Where am I from: I was born and raised in Montreal West! Nazanin convinced me to move to the West Island and we ended up living in Dollard-des-Ormeaux for about 3 years but we recently moved to Kirkland!
Education: Royal West Academy 2007, Dawson College 2009, McGill University Faculty of Dentistry 2014, Jacobi Medical Center General Practice Residency 2015
What I like to do in my free time: I’m passionate about food and love exploring new restaurants. I can easily get lost for hours watching cooking videos on YouTube. I’m also really into sports and spend a lot of time managing every detail of my Fantasy Sports teams. Staying active is important to me, so I enjoy working out and practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Another hobby of mine is gardening; I take pleasure in watching my herbs and vegetables grow—although the squirrels often get to them first in the summer!

My role at Lake Dentaire: I’m the other co-founder of Lake Dentaire! Jason and I have worked hard over the years to turn this practice into a reality and it’s been such a pleasure and honour to have the support and trust of so many patients in our community! I’m mainly focused on managing our practice. I oversee our team, take care of marketing and make sure our practice is as amazing as it can be!
I speak: English, French, Farsi and a little bit of Spanish!
Where am I from: I was born in Montreal but have lived all over the world. I’m happy to say though that I have lived in Dollard-des-Ormeaux since my early teens and I now live in Kirkland. I consider myself a West Islander!

Jason and I share a love for travel, and we’re always excited to explore new countries and cultures together!
