TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients
Are Saying

We take extreme pride in receiving unsolicited positive feedback from our patients. It’s our mission and daily practice to achieve the highest standard of patient care and we love to talk about it and share that ideal.

I give Downtown Nanaimo Dental Group 5+ stars! They went above and beyond with helping me with my long overdue dental work that to needed done. I was pretty scared but they were sensitive, gentle and very compassionate! Which made things that much easier. They were so quick to take me in and booking me an appointment right away. I had so much shame with how long I had left everything and wasn’t made to feel any of it while I was there. And instead came up with a great plan that helped gain me a confident smile but was also going to help me be able to eat going forward. Thank you so much to you and your team! I owe this smile to you all 😁

Honey J. Nanaimo, BC

Calm, clean, relaxed and comfortable environment! At 64 and not having had any dental work done for 30 odd years, I couldn’t have been more impressed with the calibre of knowledgeable staff, latest & greatest technology. All this headed by a skilled and thoughtful dentist Dr. Inam Syed who listened to my concerns, questions and took the time to explain the answers to me. No pain for my first 2 fillings on too 2 crowns.
