Kitchener patients who remember Midgley Dental may have noticed a change. The practice at 890 Glasgow Street now operates as Walk In The Park Family Dental, and its former website address, midgleydental.com, redirects to the new one. The new name covers a practice with two dentists: Dr. Alison Midgley, whose name the practice once carried, and Dr. Daniel Park.
Walk In The Park Family Dental is the practice name listed on the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario register for both dentists, and the register confirms that each is a general dentist entitled to practise.
Key Takeaways
- The practice formerly known as Midgley Dental now operates as Walk In The Park Family Dental, and the old website address redirects to the new one.
- The RCDSO register lists Walk In The Park Family Dental as the practice name for both Dr. Alison Midgley and Dr. Daniel Park, who is registered as Dae Hee Park.
- Both dentists hold general certificates only and neither holds a specialty certificate.
- The practical next step: Kitchener patients can meet the team and ask the practice about booking with either dentist.
From Midgley Dental to a New Name
The practice’s former domain, midgleydental.com, now redirects to walkintheparkfamilydental.com, which confirms that the earlier brand has been consolidated into the current one. The register shows two professional corporations at the Glasgow Street address, one for Dr. Midgley and one for Dr. Park, and the trading name is not itself a legal entity. For patients, the practical result is a single practice with two dentists under one name.
Patients who knew the practice under its earlier name will find the same address and the same phone number, (519) 743-1172, which the register lists for both dentists.
Dr. Daniel Park
The practice’s site refers to Dr. Daniel Park, and the RCDSO register lists the dentist under the legal name Dae Hee Park. The register shows a general certificate, a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Western Ontario in 2020 and initial registration in July 2020. That puts Dr. Park roughly six years into practice.
The register also shows a Certificate of Authorization for Dr. Park’s professional corporation issued in March 2024. A newer dentist at a practice is a reminder that a dental office changes over time, and patients who want to know when Dr. Park began seeing patients at this address can ask the practice.
Dr. Alison Midgley
Dr. Alison Midgley, registered as Alison Dianne Midgley, is the dentist whose name the practice carried before its change of name. The register shows a general certificate and a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Toronto in 2006. Her professional corporation has held a Certificate of Authorization since September 2010.
Having both a dentist with 20 years of registration and a dentist in earlier years of practice at one address gives patients a choice of who they see. Some families may prefer to stay with a dentist they know, and others may be happy to see either.
What the Register Confirms
The register confirms several things that patients can check for themselves: both dentists are registered and entitled to practise, both hold general certificates, and both list Walk In The Park Family Dental as their practice. It also shows no CT scanner facility permit at the address, so patients should not expect cone beam imaging on site.
Searching the register takes only a few minutes, and it is a sensible step before a first visit to any dentist.
The Practice Today
Walk In The Park Family Dental is at 890 Glasgow Street, Unit 6, Kitchener. According to its site, the practice is open Monday from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM, Tuesday to Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Friday from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, with Saturday by appointment and Sunday closed. The site states that free on-site parking is available. Patients should confirm hours before visiting.
The site lists ten service areas, including general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, dentures, emergency care, root canal treatment, orthodontics and children’s dentistry. Because both dentists are general practitioners, patients who need specialty care can ask about referral options.
Serving Kitchener and Waterloo
The practice’s site describes a service area of Kitchener and Waterloo and names neighbourhoods including Victoria Park, downtown Kitchener, Doon, Fairway and Forest Heights. Patients from those areas can ask the practice about the best way to reach the office.
Questions for a First Visit
New patients can ask which dentist they will see, what a first exam involves, how treatment is explained and what happens in an emergency. Clear answers help patients feel comfortable and plan their care.
Meeting the Team in Kitchener
Kitchener and Waterloo patients who want to know more about the dentists and staff can meet the practice’s team and then contact the practice to book a first visit.
