History.
Coronation Dental was founded by an Oral Surgeon transplanted from Montreal, Canada to Cambridge, Ontario. Dr. Harry Hersh had trained at Boston University where the various specialties in dentistry shared a clinic space and collaboration was commonplace. His goal was to recreate a private clinic environment where the same collaboration could occur. At the time, it was more common for specialists to practice alone. During the 1980s and 1990s Dr. Hersh expanded the practice to the cities of Woodstock, Stratford, and Goderich and took on associates. In 2007 the Cambridge office was expanded. Later, satellite offices opened in Waterloo (2010), Guelph (2013) and Brantford (2013),,
