And then, once I'm there, spend the entire time, battling nerves, trying to pretend I'm fine, am like everyone else, not sweating through my clothes. Trying to act like shots of any kind don't freak me out. Add to that, that my mouth doesn't always seem to respond to the freezing the way it should. So, more often than not, I am not 100% frozen which ends up being quite painful and embarrassing. I recently returned to Victoria and had walked by Dr Pite's office quite frequently while walking my dog. Once I passed when the staff was coming back from lunch. They were laughing and seems happy, like they enjoyed their work and each other. I went home and checked them out on that MD rating site. Really good reviews. A couple days later, I was walking past with my husband and I said, Let's go here. We went in and made an appointment for a cleaning and check up. We filled out questionnaires and although I was a little nervous, it was only a cleaning. I am very good with hygiene and was hoping there would be no need for drilling or shots etc. Two weeks later, around a week before our cleaning, I bit into a wintergreen lifesaver and broke off my tooth! Panic. We called the office, but they are closed on Friday. We left a message on his cell. Keep in mind we were soon to be new patients, had never met him personally. Well, he called back and came in to the office to see me that afternoon, and filed down the sharp bits so I would be comfortable. He was very kind. The next week he was able to prepare my tooth for a crown. And I was very, very impressed. Like crazy impressed. He knew that I'd had bad experiences, he explained everything he was going to do, he jiggled my cheek for the shot and so it barely hurt and put the medicine in slowly so again it wouldn't be as uncomfortable. He checked with cold to make sure it was frozen, because I could still feel he gave me another jiggly shot, this one I almost didn't feel. He didn't start until my tooth was totally, totally numb. He offered me music which was a great idea and I was able to focus on that instead of all the drilling and noise. And it didn't hurt at all. Another first. It was the best dental experience of my life. I am 55 and for the first time, I don't feel afraid to go to my dentist and I'm real glad because he is young and that means I'll probably be dead by the time he retires and so I won't ever have to be scared again. If there was a ten star thing I could click on I would do that. Was the most stress free dentist visit I have ever had.

Dr Pite and the staff were caring and I can't say anything bad about the overall service, but in the end, the success of the procedure is what matters. So I just want to make future patients aware that for this specific type of surgery that is a gum graft, I would recommend to see a periodontist who has more experience with this type of procedure.

The dentist said I had a cavity and filled the cavity. Ive been suffering since and today over 1 month later I sought another dentist referred by a close personal friend. Dr Theisen saw me on an emergency basis, gave me penicillin as my molar is extremely infected. I will return back to Dr Thesien this week to have my molar removed because its too close to my sinus to have a root canal.

My wife and I went to our very first appointment as new patients with Dr. Franco Girard at Oaklands…read moreDental, and this is a summary of the dialogue that transpired; Both of our records of current x-rays and oral history were forwarded to Oaklands Dental and they confirmed they had those records. It was understood by our appointment that we were going to Dr. Girard for just an exam and consultation. My wife had the first appointment. The dental assistant proceeded to tell her that Dr. Girard makes all of his patients have a cancer screening and a new set of x-rays taken. My wife said that they (Oaklands Dental) have a current set of radiographs that were previously sent to them and didn't want a cancer screening as both her and I are non-smokers with no history of mouth cancer. Dr. Girard arrived and said that he requires all of his patients to have a yearly cancer screening (NOT covered by any insurance) and yearly x-rays (most insurance companies only cover x-rays every 2 years). My wife declined and again told him that we are only going with what our insurance will cover and not interested in paying for something we don't believe that we need. Dr. Girard was agitated with her and continued to "up sell" her on what he wanted to do without listening to my wife explain that she just wants an exam. During this time, she texted me this dialogue as I was sitting in the waiting room. I approached the receptionist and asked why the doctor is demanding a cancer screening every year. They said "we do this to all of Dr. Girards patients." I then told my wife that we are done and I was approached by Dr. Girard and he was angry and agitated and caused me to question him in a forceful manner as he made me feel highly uncomfortable with his actions (body language, facial expressions, etc.). He would not listen to me and we just turned around and left. I have to say that this dentist was the most unprofessional person I have ever met in my life. Honestly, his "upselling" and trying to push extra, out of pocket expenses on new patient's is despicable. He acted like he use to be a fast food worker who got paid by up-selling fries and a pop so he could get more money in his pocket. A fake, dishonest individual. We are now in the process of filing a complaint against this guy with the BC College of Oral Health Professionals.

Turns out they had messed up a filling that now needs to be redone, but they couldn't find me a time within the next 2 months to do so. Gross incompetence. Don't see how it is appropriate to damage a patient's filling, but then not see them for 2.5 months and leave the patient with pain, inflammation and unable to chew? Have had regular cleanings every 6 months for 20 years with no issues. First cleaning here ends up with acute inflammation and pain, and a damaged filling. If they can't get a regular cleaning done properly, would be very concerned of having done anything even remotely complicated here.
