Manu joined TOOTHGALLERY in 2025, after a chance meeting with Dr. Taylor at a birthday party. She has a background in education and brings her love of learning wherever she goes. You can usually find her walking her dog or listening to podcasts on double speed, frustrating both her husband and daughter.

Sylvie is the friendly face that welcomes you at TOOTHGALLERY. With over 17 years in dental care and six years alongside Dr. Taylor, she knows her patients by heart—often recognizing them before checking the schedule. Her superpower? Coordinating appointments to fit your busy life, handling insurance claims efficiently, and answering questions with care. When she’s not at work, Sylvie enjoys crafting and has a passion for collecting snowmen—some handmade, some treasured finds that stay out year-round. In summer, she loves strolling through Ottawa’s parks with a good book in hand.
