What are other dentists saying about CDSPI?

I’m very pleased to say that working with Gino Ciavarella from Cumberland Private Wealth has been a fantastic experience. I’ve referred many of my colleagues in Manitoba and he’s even used me as a reference for dentists across Canada who’ve called me up.

Dr. Chris Kiazyk
Transitioning to Retirement, Manitoba

As an orthodontist in transition to retirement, I was seeking investment, tax and estate-planning advice and was fortunate to be introduced to Lamees Rahif. I appreciate her integrity and am confident that she will continue to monitor my changing circumstances and help ensure my long-term financial security.

Orthodontist, Ontario

CDSPI is the only financial services organization that is focused on dentists. They really know our business and tailor their products and services to us. CDSPI also takes a more holistic approach. Its not just about finances, but about ongoing learning and being connected to the full dental community.

Dr. Khash Gharavi
Associate, Ontario

The “free insurance” [that CDSPI] provides is an obvious benefit, and the financial advice is especially important at a time when many are looking at massive student debt upon graduation. I support the Student Program, as CDSPI provides dependable insurance and investment advice to the dentists of tomorrow.

Dr. G.W. JohnsonDr. G.W. Johnson

CDSPI has been helpful in supporting my local (HPDA) component society on several occasions with expert presentations with knowledgeable advice.

Dr. Brenda Thomson
Transitioning to Retirement, Ontario

I’ve had insurance and investments with CDSPI since I started practising 42 years ago. The main thing I looked at was their low administration fee and the fact that they weren’t on commission, which is important to me. I always felt that they worked with my best interests at heart.
