Dr. Barkman and his team were so kind and patient with me. It's been over a decade since I've sat in a dentist chair, and I was nervous walking in but I left so grateful. It was a very relaxing environment with him and his staff. I had 2 teeth extracted within 25 minutes. No other teeth were damaged and it was completely painless. He talked me through everything he was doing and made sure I was comfortable though it all. I'll 100% be back for the rest of my dental work.

Very friendly staff, always great appointment reminders, really great about insurance. The hygienists are so lovely and the dentist is gentle (which is honestly so appreciated)and he explains things so they make sense. Options of care are given and nothing is ever pushed on you. I always have a good experience every time I visit.

I am usually a white knuckle dentist patient,but I was quickly calmed down by all the staff at Barkman Dental Studio. Extremely friendly staff as soon as you walk through the door,to the dental hygienist,to Dr Barkman himself. I highly recommend this whole team at Barkman Dental Studio. 10 ⭐️

This is an awesome Dental office. All the staff has always made me feel very comfortable. Laurie, the hygienist is the best I've ever had. I don't see the dentist very often but when I did need him for a tooth repair or exam he was great. I would highly recommend this team

Highly recommend Barkman Dental. Even in the past, before renamed, it was a great dentist office. I've had bad experiences at a last dentist, and had taken about 8-10yrs away from going. And had a lot of work to be done. The level of care and patience they took with me, in regards to my anxiety, was amazing. Not just using freezing and not caring that I could still feel it, and continue on like I've had prior, acting like the amount should be good enough. Actually having patient care and compassion. I highly recommend them, especially if you have that dental anxiety.

Dr. Barkman took over Mandy’s practice. I was pleased with her and her work. Dr. Barkman just fit in when Mandy retired. Stephanie stayed on and that made it feel like nothing had changed. Dr. Barkman has allowed Stephanie to use all of her talents. Dr. Barkman has proved to be a very good dentist, worthy of his name. He is kind, gentle in demeanour and his dentistry work. I will continue using The Barkman Dental for my dentistry needs. I recommend the team for all who want to come.

Absolutely the best dentist and staff I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with! Dr. Sheldon Barkman and his assistant were both so kind, patient, knowledgeable and made my experiences quick, easy, and painless! I have a terrible fear of going to the dentist, but they laid my fears to rest, and now I've even booked another appointment to go back! I would highly recommend Barkman Dental to anyone. A special thank you to receptionist Stephanie for making me feel so comfortable and getting my husband and myself in so quickly. You are so greatly appreciated. :)

Best dentist I ever had the pleasure attending to! Very kind, patient oriented and highly professional work. Can and will recommend to anyone who needs dental work, check ups really anything done! Dr. S. Barkman is one of the most genuine, kind and thoughtful persons I've ever met. Nothing but perfect!

I am probably the patient that most dentists dread. I have a strong gag reflex and am very uncomfortable in the dentist chair. As a result I hadn't seen a dentist for about about 10 years or so when I started a series of appointments with Dr. Karkan. Dr. Karkan and her assistant were very patient with me and did their best to make my visits as stress free as possible. In fact after a few visits I was almost relaxed during the procedures. Because of my dental neglect I needed extensive remedial work. Dr. Karkan explained my options and costs. It took some complicated procedures on her part but she saved me from needing dentures. I am 100 % satisfied with the treatment I received at Corona. The cost was well within the estimate given to me . Highly recommended. Cal Paley

Was in to get what I thought was going to be a complicated extraction. They got me in right on time. And to my surprise Dr. Karkan had no issues getting my tooth out. It was a overall quite relaxing experience considering the scenerio. It's a comfortable atmosphere with a very welcoming staff. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new dental office.
