ABOUT EVERGREEN DENTAL

Nurturing Smiles, Building Trust – Your Journey to Oral Wellness Starts Here.

The Story of Evergreen Dental

Origin

Evergreen Dental was founded in 1995 by Dr. Gavin Steidl on the principle of doing high quality work with attention to detail. He lived in the River East area and wanted to build a practice that centered around relationships with patients in his community.

Gavin instilled in his staff that no expense should be spared in the experience a patient feels when they step into the office. He worked extended hours, and donated his time to volunteerism and raised a family.

Growth

Dr. Brett Luschinski had Gavin as a mentor in University of Manitoba dental school and would take him out to dinners explaining what brought him success in the healthcare field. 

This mentorship allowed Dr. Luschinski to go up north, to work in Swan River, and hone his skill set to allow him to be a proficient dentist within the practice. Dr. Brett Luschinski joined the practice in 2014 and followed the principles that Dr. Steidl laid out for his success. He practiced by the golden rule, treat others how you would like to be treated; and with thorough treatment and a priority on customer service the practice grew.

Evergreen Dental at 1919 Henderson grew from 4 rooms to 6 in less than three years, running 6 days per week. At this point Evergreen had grown beyond its space and the hunt began for a new space.

There was light at the end of the tunnel with the addition of a new partner Dr. Stephan Kosowski, who took a chance leaving a well established ownership role to begin the journey on the vision for the new Evergreen Dental Centre. With a similar mindset, work ethic and dedication as Dr. Steidl and Dr. Luschinski, he fit in with the group. He has brought his knowledge and experience to help grow the practice and the continual drive to make Evergreen’s patients’ experience better.

CONSTRUCTION AND GRAND OPENING OF THE NEW SPACE

After two years of planning and designing every detail of the new clinic from top to bottom, from the grain of wood to the ambience of mood lighting we were ready for construction with a group of colleagues that saw the potential.

With opening the new space, we built off the old principles that made us so successful as a group practice. Dr. Kosowski went to high school and University with Gavins son, Dr. Katie Davidson played volleyball with his daughter Kristen and Dr. Piche was a patient of Gavins since he was three years old.

The foundation that Evergreen dental was built on stands strong and Gavins traditions will continue within the practice. He has an impact on every dentist within the clinic and has shown that building trusting relationships with patients is the most important aspect of healthcare.
