Would give negative stars if I could. The most condescending, belittling, rude endodontists (really, medical professional anywhere) I've run across. Stay far away. Two consultations with two different endo's, was mocked for having dental anxiety and had my concerns totally dismissed (bad tooth infection) with the first, and the second got pissy with me because I could only open my mouth so far because of said tooth infection which has spread to the jaw, and then once in my mouth proceeded to beat on my teeth with a steel dental implement like he was playing drums for Van Halen. Took my bib off and walked out. Stay away.Read moreShow less

Dr.Irinakis and his team are the greatest! Very professional yet personable at the same time.Had been dreading having dental surgery but Dr.Irinakis is amazing! Literally did not feel a thing during or afterwards the surgery and healed beautifully.If you’re lucky enough to have him as your surgeon have no fear. He’s rated number one for good reason.Read moreShow less

It seems I hadn't hit "post" on my previous review of a year ago. It is below. I see from previous reviews that I'm not the only one who enjoyed my root canal at NDS! ;-D Dr. Verraich and his assistant (Larissa, I think) were great. You can tell that they enjoy what they do and like working together. Verraich performed the root canal in just under the estimated 1.5 hours. I had had an infection under the tooth for months and what a relief to have it gone. My recovery time from the procedure was incredibly fast with no undue discomfort. Dr. V. also arranged it so that I could do my 6-month follow-up with my dentist in Ladysmith instead of driving all the way to Nanaimo to see him.Read moreShow less

I was very happy with the care I received at Nanaimo Dental Specialists. The dentist and dental assistant went out of their way to make me comfortable. I would highly recommend this office to anyone needing dental care.

As much as I do not enjoy dental procedures, it’s always a positive experience coming here. Dr. Verraich is very knowledgeable, and is always friendly, professional, empathetic and caring towards me.

The best place for dental surgery. So helpful, polite, and sweet every time I go. I really love my surgeon who has been doing my extractions and implants. I have major anxiety issues and they work so well with me.

I honestly had the best dental experience ever at this office! Dr. Bouwer and the assistant, Joleen, were absolutely incredible. They made the entire procedure painless and comfortable, and I felt genuinely cared for throughout. You can tell the whole team works together seamlessly, creating such a warm and positive vibe. I never thought I’d actually enjoy going to the dentist, but this place changed that for me completely!Read moreShow less

10/10 the best experience. Dr. Abbey, Charlotte and all the staff of Nanaimo Dental Specialists are fantastic. I needed a surgical treatment which caused me great anxiety. They were able to not only calm my nerves but also completed the procedure with minimal discomfort. I was told by a different specialist on the island I wasn’t able to be helped and would need implant surgery. Nanaimo Dental Specialist helped to save my teeth and save me thousands of dollars.Read moreShow less

Had a root canal and extraction of a wisdom tooth 3 days ago. Dr S. Abbey was very gentle and did a wonderful job...no pain and didn't have to take anything for pain and no bleeding from the gum. He was informative, caring and was willing to answer any questions. His dental assistant, Charlene, was the best. She kept me informed throughout the procedure and was thoughtful and caring as well, and a follow-up phone call to check on me, a few days later. I would recommend Dr. Abbey and his clinic to anyone needing an endodontist, anytime! I totally appreciate and thank Dr. Abbey for his work and a job well done!Read moreShow less
