Our Dentists

Dr. Anna Aleinikov

General Dentist

As the managing dentist of Dentistry on Liverpool, Dr. Anna strives to treat her patients just as she would like to be treated. She aims to ensure that each patient has a comfortable and positive experience.

Dr. Anna completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Toronto which she followed by a residency at Sunnybrook Health Science Centre. She also completed an externship at the Vrietuniversitat in Amsterdam. She has a passion for providing cosmetic dental services and is certified in Invisalign® and BOTOX® administration.

In her nearly three decades in dentistry, she has dedicated much time to charitable causes, including missions to Peru and Guatemala with Kindness in Action. Dr. Anna has also provided dental treatment to First Nations reserves in Northern Ontario.

Along with her husband and three daughters, Dr. Anna enjoys adventurous travel and family time at the cottage. To stay fit, she enjoys running, cycling and yoga and loves gardening, cooking and entertaining. She may even blast dance music during your treatment – especially if you happen to like Sia, Avicii or Sean Paul. Her best days start with coffee and end with red wine.
Dr. Adam Maisels

General Dentist

Dr. Maisels received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Western Ontario, graduating with distinction. His academic excellence is a testament to his deep understanding of the dental sciences and his commitment to patient-centred care. Dr. Maisels has been practicing general dentistry for over 16 years. As a managing dentist and owner of Dentistry on Liverpool, he enjoys providing excellent patient care and enmeshing himself in the Pickering community.

Dr. Maisels enjoys practicing all aspects of general dentistry and has a passion for minimally invasive comprehensive treatment. To provide the most current and updated care to his patients he devotes himself to furthering his clinical knowledge and skills by regularly attending continuing education courses.

He is a member of the Ontario Dental association, an active member of the Toronto Crown and Bridge Study Club and a certified Invisalign provider. He is a fellow in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and completed implant training with the Misch International Implant Institute and an externship with Live Implant Training in Guadalajara Mexico. Continued participation in both a Biohorizon’s implant continuum and a Spear study group keeps his knowledge and skill set current.

Outside of his practice, Dr. Maisels enjoys sports and rooting on the Jays, Leafs and Raptors but often finds himself disappointed along with most Toronto fans! In between chauffeuring his children he enjoys being active outdoors as an avid skier and golfer. He was ahead of the COVID Peloton trend and has clocked in over 1100 rides and counting. He is a barbecue fanatic who’s happiest when tending the coals on one of his barbecues while creating a memorable meal for family and friends.

Motivated by his kids, Dr. Maisels began learning to play the guitar at the start of the pandemic. He enjoys the challenge that accompanies starting something new and looks forward to the sense of relaxation that comes along with strumming at the end of a hectic day. He is open to your playlist suggestions in the office — just be wary he may start to sing even if he doesn’t know the words!
Dr. Carolyn Karr

General Dentist

Dr. Karr's interest in dentistry began early, and rather abruptly, when she was informed she needed all four primary molars extracted. Her dentist was wise enough to reward her bravery with three dollars after each appointment. So began her path into the profession.

Dr. Karr completed a Bachelor’s of Science and a Doctorate of Dental Surgery at Western University, followed by an Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University of Connecticut.

She has regularly participated in dental outreach programs in places like Northern Ontario, Connecticut and Jamaica.

After-hours, Dr. Karr works out to songs from her favourite musicals, like Defying Gravity from “Wicked”. She will quite happily sing Disney songs to her child patients – who have unanimously declared her “Best Dentist Ever.”
Dr. Katharine Waks

General Dentist

When Dr. Waks was young, she had oral surgery twice, braces twice, intensive jaw splint therapy and then permanent retainers (which she wears to this day!). Her two kids have also endured their share of dental ups and downs, including braces and oral surgery.

Thus, Dr. Waks came into dentistry with a mission. Her desire has always been to try and eliminate as much of the anxiety and pain as possible for patients. Call it a case of “been there, done that, don’t want others to suffer.” Dr. Waks tries to be approachable, detail-oriented and aesthetically minded.

Dr. Waks earned a Bachelor of Health Sciences (with distinction) at Western University, followed by a Doctor of Dental Surgery at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry.

She also collects and creates art. When not working on a new piece, she is creating delicious meals with her family. She’s also an Apple Fitness, Madfit, and Beachbody aficionado, waking up at 5:30 am daily to get her work-out in before the day begins. Of course, she balances that out with regular Dairy Queen Oreo Blizzards.
Dr. Mario Murillo

Denturist

Denturist Murillo earned a Degree in Dentistry from the Central University of Venezuela, following it with an internship in maxillofacial surgery at the West General Hospital. He taught prosthodontics at the Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho University Dental School, later receiving an Advanced Dental Surgery Diploma from the Anzoategui Dental Board.

Since immigrating to Canada, Mario has worked as both a denture technician and denturist, while founding his own private practice, Dentime Denture Clinic. With this experience, Mario brings an understanding of prosthetic treatment and how to match prosthetics to patient needs.

Mario has applied his range of experience as a denturist to try and master the art and science of producing aesthetically pleasing and functionally correct dentures.

His grandfather owned a movie theatre and, growing up, his dad would always sneak him in to see the latest features. As a long-time cinephile, Mario still mourns the lost era of Blockbuster and VHS rentals.
Dr. Philip Walton

Periodontist

Dr. Walton’s fascination with dentistry began at a young age and was encouraged by his father, also a dentist.

He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Toronto, along with a Master's of Medical Sciences in Periodontology at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. He completed externships at the University of Michigan and overseas at King’s College London School of Medicine and Dentistry in England.

Dr. Walton is an active member of the periodontic community as a lecturer.

When he’s not busy with all that, he likes water skiing with his wife and kids at the cottage. He’s a big proponent of innovation and philanthropy and frequent ice-cold showers.
Dr. Ramesh Agrawal

General Dentist

Dr. Agrawal is a foreign trained orthodontist, but achieved his Canadian General Practitioner license in less than 1 year.

Dr. Agrawal understands that orthodontic treatment can be a life-changing decision. A patient must not only select an excellent doctor, but an office with a quality staff too. For this reason, he and his team strive to provide the highest level of professionalism. He can also cater to a wide range of communities by providing his services to various dental clinics in GTA.

Dr. Agrawal can offer orthodontic braces to suit every income and lifestyle, including Invisalign. Invisalign Teen, Metal braces, ceramic braces, myofunctional appliance, expander, habit breaking appliances, Mini Dental Implants (TAD). He is a successful Invisalign Platinum Provider for 2022.

To quote Dr. Agrawal: “Brace yourself and enjoy the ride. I would say that it’s a beautiful journey rather than a long treatment."

In addition to his busy schedule, Dr. Agrawal also enjoys teaching foreign trained dentists and helping them pursue their dream of practicing dentistry in Canada. In his free time, he loves to spend time with family and friends. He enjoys reading books, exploring natural scenic beauty and long drives.
Dr. Lioubov (Luba) Karmanova
