Let me introduce you to your dental care team!
Dr. Aly Khan Kherani
Hello and welcome to Dentistry at the Lake! Here is a little about me and my team. I am very proud of my team and what we accomplish every day here at Dentistry at the Lake. My purpose has always been to help others by providing the best dental care possible.
I was born and raised in Etobicoke, Ontario with my older brother who is also a dentist. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Guelph and my Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from the University of Toronto in 2005. After completing my formal schooling, I moved to Boston where I did a hospital based residency at New England Medical Center allowing me to do hospital dentistry and general dentistry. I enjoy working on children as I have 2 young children myself. You may see me running around chasing them! I also enjoy all sports and sometimes talk too much about them!
Mel
I’m better known as the “go-to-girl” in the practice. I’m also the tech savvy expert. I graduated from Durham College in 2009 from the Dental Assisting Program. I have had the pleasure of being part of Dentistry At The Lake for the past 8 years! I started here as a dental assistant, but as the practice grew I took on the role as the office’s Patient Co-ordinator. I’m passionate about being a patient advocate. There’s nothing like the satisfied look on a patient’s face when they’ve navigated through the sometimes confusing world of insurance, and the unknown of treatment to come out the other end with an even bigger smile. I am very happy in this role as I get to see all of you and continue our tradition of great family dental care.
Outside the office, I love running and staying active. I not only believe in having a healthy smile but also a healthy lifestyle!

Hi! I am Barb. I have had the pleasure of providing dental care for four generations of local families.
Outside of work I love to spend time with my family, tending my garden, kayaking with my grandchildren on the Indian River and browsing antique shops.
I was born in Toronto, Ontario and graduated from the dental hygiene program at Durham College in 1978.
My husband and I moved to the Peterborough area to raise our family and I joined the practice in 1984.
A highlight of my day is providing dental hygiene services to third and fourth generation clients.
I enjoy spoiling my grandchildren as much as I’m allowed; swimming, kayaking, and dragon boat racing.
May until October after work you can find me on Little Lake practicing with my dragon boat team; Peterborough Survivors Abreast, or steering community practices as we prepare to host Peterborough’s annual Dragon Boat Festival.
104 Lock Street has been my home away from home for the past 6 years. After graduating from hygiene college in 2006, I have been providing dental hygiene services to a variety of large & small families at Dentistry at the Lake.
Outside the office I enjoy my 5K morning run and lots of time with my husband and 3 beautiful children.
