I found the dentist, Tara Kim, extremely condescending. She chastised me for not having my teeth…read morecleaned not once, not twice but THREE times even though I tried to explain to her that I hadn't visited a dentist in a while due to the pandemic, and I was in contact with immunocompromised family members so had to be careful. I get that she's just doing her job, but some people have different circumstances. The first time she said it, ok, but after the third time, it was EXTREMELY annoyingly. She showed no empathy/compassion and probably just thought I was making excuses. Needless to say, I was not impressed with her attitude and lack of respect. My previous dentist was knowledgeable and encouraged me to keep my teeth healthy, but had a way of being really nice about it and never made me feel terrible. Even when I showed hesitation in getting my wisdom tooth extracted (I was clearly nervous) and asked her what my options were, she very plainly said, "you can do nothing or get it removed!". Like I know that Sherlock; I was looking for more information and reasoning. One of the worst dentists I've encountered and lacks experience in patient care and bedside manner. Do not recommend - seek an alternative dentist. I will say though that the receptionists were very kind, courteous and attentive. They answered my questions politely and respectfully.

We've been looking for a new dental clinic since our go-to hygienist retired. Not completely…read moresatisfied with other dentists' results in the interim, we scheduled an appointment at River District Dentistry after reading about the clinic online. One of the big draws for us was that they use the latest technology for their dental work, which was detailed on their website. I'm happy to say our search is over as we were very impressed with the new patient overview and initial teeth cleaning. The entire staff was welcoming and made us feel right at home. Jesse and Amanda are two of the friendliest receptionists I've ever met! Niki was super nice and very patient as she guided us through the introductory process (consisting of panoramic + standard angle X-rays, full dental photos, questionnaire & dental review with the doctor). Victor and Shannon, our hygienists that day, were extremely thorough during the cleaning process and never made us feel rushed. There are two doctors at this clinic; we met with Dr. Biddle during our first visit. I immediately appreciated Dr. Biddle's method of presentation as he was going through the review of the new patient questionnaire and dental images. He took the time to really listen to my concerns and never seemed pushy with any procedure he mentioned. After presenting all the facts, he gave his opinion in a non-forceful manner, then truly left it up to me to decide if I wanted any procedure. I say "truly" because even though any dentist will need to abide by the patient's choices in the end, their method of "recommendation" can vary greatly. My regular dentists at the previous clinic were extremely pushy about getting all sorts of dental procedures done. This urgency made it seem like my teeth were about to fall apart, which was odd because overall I felt they were relatively healthy with some minor issues. I didn't appreciate this insistency of dental procedures at the previous clinic as it made their recommendations appear to be money grabs from insurance (I'm not sure if this was the real reason, but it sure came across like that). Dr. Biddle was nothing like this at all and gave us really good vibes right from the beginning. As suspected, the overall health of my teeth was confirmed; I just needed to keep an eye out for a few problem areas. The clinic itself was warm and welcoming. Even though they've been in business three years already, the place looked brand new and sparkling clean... a great reassurance when allowing someone to probe your teeth and gums with publicly-shared instruments! We will definitely be long-term patients here and are extremely thankful to the staff for providing such a great experience at, who would have thought, the dentist!

Brand new dentist in the River District area. With a new office comes fancy new equipment and tech and young staff. Really great reception team. Always friendly and welcoming. The medical staff are also very friendly but they're all very young and with that comes lack of experience. It's not a bad thing but they haven't caught anything my old dentist would have caught (or scolded me) on. They are very efficient so I'll continue to come here. Have already referred a few neighbours there and we are all happy with the service. Thanks everyone!

My wife and I always felt comfortable coming here for our family needs. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone who is looking for a good dentist.

"J" doesn't usually complain about pain but this issue needed to be diagnosed right away. After recommendations from my sister, who said there was a dentist office just down the street, we went to see Dr. Kim at the Sunstone Dental Clinic. This newer building was decorated neatly and eye pleasing on the inside. My daughter and I were both thrilled with the immediate friendly service we received. We were even given a short wait for an immediate emergency appointment! While we waited all of six minutes, we were offered a cup of tea or coffee by Kristy. To my surprise, a delicious cup of coffee arrived in a charming tea cup on a tray accompanied by cold cream, sweetener and two biscuits! Tea house style!! I was encouraged to bring it with me into the exam room. The doctor, James Kim was kind and possessed a great bedside manner as he explained what he concluded after inspecting the xrays. Considering our limited time before flying home, he kindly gave options for her treatment. We decided it was best to wait to have a route canal, filling and crown by a periodontist back home. He could pull the tooth in question if the pain was unbearable but he recommended my daughter to save her tooth. After paying, J and I left with a prescription for an antibiotic and ibuprofen recommendation. We agreed that this visit was most professional and reassuring! If my sister or anyone is wanting dental care in the North Delta area, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Kim his team!

The fact that they are located in the mall then it means they have longer hours which really makes the appointment scheduling much easier! :)

The clinic itself is very nice, with pleasant staff, and Dr. Shirbani was helpful and gracious, providing a referral to a specialist if needed. However, my experience was marred by a subsequent interaction with a receptionist on Saturday, July 12th, at 9:05 am, who was difficult, unfriendly, unempathetic, and rude. I had concerns regarding my wisdom tooth and was seeking a brief consultation with the doctor, but the receptionist was unaccommodating, suggesting I book an appointment instead. Upon calling back to ask a question, I was informed that the doctor recommended I visit a specialist, which was not relevant to my concern about my wisdom tooth. I was extremely disappointed by the receptionist's behavior, which was a stark contrast to the helpful and compassionate service I received the previous day. As a paying patient, I expect a certain level of professionalism and respect. Unfortunately, my experience was subpar, and I would not recommend this dental clinic to anyone in Canada. I have traveled extensively and lived in various places, and this was the most disappointing experience I've had. I called back to address the unprofessional behavior, but my call was not returned. I hope the clinic will take steps to address the discriminatory behavior and provide better service to their patients
