    Okamura has been my dentist for many years. Derek and his staff always do a great job while, at the…read moresame time, making sure that the patient is comfortable. The front desk staff are always cordial and welcoming. I actually like going to the dentist.

    I recently saw Dr. Derek Okamura as a new patient on the recommendation of a friend, and I'm so…read moreglad I did! I had previously been bouncing around dentists after mine retired, and ended up having an unpleasant experience at a corporate dental clinic so I really wanted to find someone non-corporate. To start with, the receptionists were friendly and helpful when I was booking my appointment, and provided reminders as the appointment approached. When I arrived, I was happy to see that they have great COVID protocols in place. They seem to be well organized, and I didn't have to wait for my appointment. Dr. Okamura was wonderful. He's friendly, personable, knowledgeable and very kind. It is obvious that his patients' well being is his utmost concern. He is patient, and takes the time to explain things carefully. He also didn't try to up sell me on all of the things the corporate dental clinic was trying to tell me I needed. His approach is more conservative and careful, which I really appreciated. He shared his plan with me, and was upfront and honest about the issues I have with my teeth. He did a very thorough initial exam, even measuring my jaw and noting issues with how it opens and closes through various tests (I've never had a dentist do this before). I have had a problem with one of my teeth for almost a year now, which several dentists have tried to fix, but Dr. Okamura referred me to a specialist to take a look before we do anything, and I really appreciated that as well. All-in-all it was a great first appointment, and I feel reassured that I have found the right dentist for me!

    I have had some more (not just simple cleaning) dental stuff come up, and I have co tongues to have…read moreamazing service from both the office staff as well as Dr. Okamura and his hygienists. I never once felt pressured into doing anything I felt uncomfortable with, and I felt like Dr. Okamura took time to explain all of my options. Additionally, I have taken my (fairly reluctant) preschooler to see Dr. Okamura, and he was so patient and caring with her. He never rushed her and allowed her to feel comfortable with him before he proceeded. I heartily recommend this practice.

    I've been a patient of Dr. Wayne Okamura since the early-90's when he used to work out of the…read moreHudson's Bay dental clinic which was very convenient to my downtown office location. Shortly thereafter he moved to his current W. Broadway location and I followed him there even though it's not very convenient for me but a good dentist is worth the trip. He's always been personable, friendly and knowledgeable. He keeps up on what's current in the dental industry. His office seems to run pretty much like clock work and it is rare to be kept waiting more than 5 minutes past the appointment time. The front office staff is the best - friendly and nice every single time I've visited the office. One staff in particular, Antonella, has been with him for eons and that says a lot about how Dr. Okamura must be as an employer. His dental assistant has also been with him for years too, but the hygienists always seem to come and go. Years ago when extensive work was required with not much dental covererage, Dr. Okamura even accepted postdated cheques. I've never forgotten that and think it shows the epitome of his character. If you're looking for a great friendly Dentist then Dr. Wayne Okamura fits the bill to a tee.

    Had two root canal done at this place. Was told would last ten years or even life time. One of them…read morefailed after about two years and inflammation is growing under the tooth. Went in yesterday to have to have it checked up. The doctor seems to want to blame it on variety of reasons such as bad luck and the lack of night guard which doesn't really make sense given I had no history grinding teeth. And given I spent over $10,000 on the root canals and crowns, why would I skip on a few hundred dollars of night guard if it was made clear I needed it at the time of the treatment. There's also a growing gap between the crown and my gum, potentially caused by the metal crown itself. I'm not sure why a metal crown was chosen, especially since I've been told elsewhere that they're not ideal for sensitive teeth. I recall a larger than expected gap between this crown and the neighboring tooth, and I experienced minor pain when chewing. The dentist dismissed it as normal at the time, but I wonder if this contributed to the failure. While I understand that these procedures aren't always guaranteed, I chose this practice because I believed they were specialists who could deliver superior results. The outcome has been very disappointing. What's most upsetting is the lack of empathy and accountability from the dentist and staff. Instead of offering any form of apology or compensation, they seem focused on promoting a $9,000 implant. Why do I come here again if it didn't work well the last time? Maybe it also has to do with the nurse's English. It was hard to understand her. The same goes for the doctor. The communication seems to go in circles a lot of the time. The only good service was the Asian lady at the front desk. Overall, the dentist's skills are questionable, the staff are unhelpful, and the service has not been what I would have expected that cost of tens of thousands of dollars. You get Comfort Inn service while paying for Four Seasons prices. Doesn't make sense.

    Being a UBC student and living in downtown, it was hard for me to find a convenient dental office…read more I did my research looking for the top Vancouver dentist who is very knowledgable. On my way to UBC a few times I noticed Vancouver Dental Specialty Clinic. Being that they were specialists, I thought I can get better high quality dental care but I was concerned the fee would be more expensive. Surprisingly, I found their fee is very reasonable. Dr. Zaeimdar was very kind, knowledgable and explained to me all is needed for my teeth and gum. What was interesting to me, was that other dental options never gave me the options VDSC gave me. I decided to trust Dr. Zaeimdar and do the treatment. I believe I got the best treatment there was ALONG with a reasonable price!
