DR. ALEXIS DESROSIERS
Dr. Alexis Desrosiers was born and raised in southwest Edmonton where she attended Strathcona High School graduating in 1998. She then attended the University of Alberta, completing her Bachelor of Science with Specialization in Psychology (with Distinction) in 2002 followed by dental school also at the University of Alberta where she obtained her Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree in 2006.
Right after graduating from dental school in June 2006, Dr. Desrosiers joined Brookview Dental as an associate and is now a partner-owner of the clinic. Dr. Desrosiers enjoys treating both adults and children, and works hard to ensure that her patients’ experience is the most positive one possible. She believes in comprehensive, ethical dental treatment for all patients, performed with a gentle touch and in a timely manner with a strong focus on patient education. She has additional training and certification in Invisalign and Botox and offers those services in addition to general and cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Desrosiers keeps up to date with the ever evolving world of dentistry through study clubs and continuing education.
Dr. Desrosiers has been heavily involved as a volunteer with several community organizations including her local homeowners association and community league. In May 2023 Dr. Desrosiers travelled to Ecuador with the Canadian dental volunteer group Kindness in Action to provide free dental care for an under serviced community and she hopes to be able to do this again in the near future. When not at work, Dr. Desrosiers enjoys travelling, swimming, working out, and photography. She also enjoys spending time with friends and family including her husband, two teenage sons, and their young golden retriever Leo.

DR. DONALD SIMONAR
Dr. Donald Simonar was born in Calgary but has called Edmonton his home since he was two years old. After high school, Dr. Simonar completed his undergraduate degree in Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta in 2009 and returned to the U of A for his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree, graduating in 2015.
Dr. Simonar joined the Brookview Dental team in early 2022, and he is now a partner-owner of the clinic. He enjoys all areas of general dentistry with a strong passion for preventive measures. He is always looking to further himself in all of the new developments in dentistry; taking courses and continuing education is a priority.
In his spare time, Dr. Simonar enjoys hanging out with his family and friends, playing hockey, and travelling to new places.
