Meet Our Dentists

Who We Are

Dr. Jenelle Hyland

DMD

I was born and raised on a farm in south-eastern Saskatchewan. As much as I loved
the farm, I finished high school, and moved to Saskatoon to attend the
University of Saskatchewan. I completed my degree in Dentistry in 1996 and moved to
Medicine Hat to join Courtyard Dental Centre.


I love Dentistry, and my career comes second only to my family. My husband Colin and I
have two children, Grace and Carter.  They have both graduated high school and are in
Calgary pursuing their own dreams. We are left only with our labradoodle, Charlie.


While not at work, I enjoy baking, gardening, travelling, a little bit of exercise, too many
messy crafts, and the odd glass of red wine.


I could not be more proud of my Courtyard family. They are an outstanding team and I
truly enjoy going to work with them each day.

    Dr. Michael Lemeshuk

    DDS

    Born and raised in Medicine Hat, I have developed a strong connection to
    our community through family and friends. I attended Medicine Hat College for
    Undergraduate Studies before obtaining a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from
    the University of Alberta in 2010, after which I began my practice at Courtyard
    Dental Centre.


    I’ve been involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters of Medicine Hat, and continue
    finding fulfillment with the relationships I have established through this
    organization. My interests include guitar, snowboarding, mountain biking, golf,
    and other outdoor activities in our wonderful climate. My wife Ashley and I have
    two boys, Adam and James, and a chronically silly Golden Retriever, Allie. We are
    thrilled to raise our family in this fantastic community!

      Dr. Kira Swenson

      DDS

      I was born and raised in the small town of Oyen, Alberta. I attended the University of
      Alberta where I completed a Bachelor of Medical Science degree and then went on to graduate
      from the Doctor of Dental Surgery program in 2020. After graduation I moved to Medicine Hat
      and have been practicing at Courtyard Dental Centre for the last five years.
       
      When my husband, Lane, isn’t working in the tractor you can find us enjoying the laid-back
      country life at our farm near Bindloss, AB. Outside of work, I enjoy camping, kayaking,
      gardening, golfing, snowboarding and playing recreational hockey. I also love spending time and
      keeping up with all eight of my nieces and nephews!
       
      I look forward to many more great years at Courtyard while working with our incredible team!

        Dr. Austin Franklin

        DDS

        I was born and raised here in Medicine Hat, and before pursuing dentistry, I was first a journeyman electrician and worked at two nearby industrial facilities over ten years.

        ​

        I then completed two years of undergraduate studies at Medicine Hat College before entering the Doctor of Dental Surgery program at the University of Alberta.


        My wife, Janelle, and I have two amazing kids - Harper and Greyson - and they do a great job of keeping us busy with all of their activities.

        ​

        Outside of work, I love to travel, golf, bike and go to concerts. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to provide dental care for my home community while working with the amazing team at Courtyard Dental!
