For me, like many people, going to the dentist is not an enjoyable experience, and can even be anxiety producing. Dr. Behkish, and my hygienist Diane, have both went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable and made an uncomfortable time the easiest it could be. I would highly recommend this office to anyone who has anxiety visiting the dentist and wants individualized care, given with the utmost respect and understanding.

This last visit was for a mid-year cleaning with a lovely hygienist named Diane. She was fantastic. So knowledgeable. I learned a lot from her about my teeth, the best way to clean them and which products would benefit the most. The staff are great. I especially appreciate how they stay on top my benefits so that there are no unexpected charges. Also, I have been more relaxed there than any other dental clinic. I highly recommend Seaside Smile Clinic.

Dr. Phelps is excellent in not just doing the examination but also explaining what is going on inside. The office staff are great as well. Being past retirement age, I have had a lot of experience with other dentists. This office rates up there in the top two ever.

My root canal went very well, doctor & staff are kind, gentle and checked that I was feeling ok due to my anxiety level. I didn't feel a thing during the procedure and there was no pain afterwards. Great dentist.

The staff here have been so kind and so patient! And they’re also very efficient. I’ve really dreaded going to the dentist my whole life but coming here doesn’t feel nearly as difficult as it has with other clinics. Highly recommend :)

I was impressed with the level of professionalism at such a small dental office! If I could be a regular patient, I would. Unfortunately, I live too far away. Both my hygienist and dentist knew exactly was to do in my emergency and they volunteered to send the X-rays along to my regular dentist via email. Super professional. If you see this review. DO NOT hesitate to go. You will not be disappointed.

I was referred here by a friend after I had a few issues with a previous dentist. Not only is this the most comfortable business I’ve been in but every staff member is happy and kind. The hygienist was the most gentle I’ve seen and I’ve had my fair share of dental work. My husband had the same experience! Diane you are an angel! I am due back for more work in the new year and to be frank I’m excited cause I know my teeth will be absolutely perfect and my wallet and family will be much happier with this wonderful place. They also have the most adorable kids area and it’s such a calm and warm environment!

Had excellent hygiene visit today with Vera. She explained everything beautifully and gave great personalized tips on how to improve my oral health. My teeth feel so clean! Fantastic hygienist. I also appreciate the expert care from Dr. Behkish, Dr. Phelps and their team. Great office, I highly recommend them. Thank you.

Wonderful experience, met Dr. Behkish when she was practicing in Qualicum Beach. She is truly a wonderful dentist. Happy to continue with her at her new practice in Nanaimo. I highly recommend Dr. Behkish she is gentle, kind, and truly cares that you are comfortable. My husband needed a filling and met with Dr. Phelps and had a great experience also. The ladies at the front counter are super friendly and even laughed at my husband's jokes. Also Mike the temp hygienist is friendly gentle and great to deal with. (Good luck with your new career) If you are looking for a new Dentist, give Seaside Smile Clinic a call. They are the best 👌
