Testimonials

testimonials Dr. Douglas
The reason I chose Ocean Orthodontics was because of Dr. Kanani’s referral and my first impression of Dr. Douglas. I find Brent approachable, professional, unpretentious, and friendly and his opinion on my treatment and the time he took to answer my questions meant I trusted him.

The Staff
All the staff are extremely professional and dedicated and it was a pleasure to meet them all, particularly Lou-Anne with whom I spent most of my appointments. She has a steady and gentle hand and made me to feel very welcome and comfortable. I think all the staff are excellent – I don’t want to miss anyone out and believe I was treated by another two women both of whom were equally adept at making my visits quick, comfortable and thorough.

General Experience
Terrific! A very well run practice (that inspires great confidence) with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Meticulous attention to detail and genuine interest in getting me the result I wanted. Thank you, thank you, thank you :-)

Many thanks, Dominic

I have always wanted braces since I was young but was afraid of the pain and having to wear head gear like my friends in school. I went through years of insecurities with my crooked teeth and having “bunny” teeth and being called “Japanese Rabbit”. I got really good at keeping my lips very close together when I spoke and covered my mouth when I laughed. Having the “bunny” teeth became my trademark and it was “cute”.

Finally, I decided to get braces when I turned 31 years old. I was new to the city and I wanted to find the best orthodontist in BC. I talked to some friends and one friend of mine had just finished her treatment at Ocean Orthodontics. I booked an appointment and met Dr. Douglas for the first time. Dr. Douglas was wonderful and gave me several treatment options and explained to detail and the fact that he uses the newest technology in Orthodontics. I was amazed at how far the technology has come with braces.

After I had my first appointment, I booked to have my braces. The team at Ocean Orthodontics are very professional and made every visit a comfortable one. Anytime I needed an adjustment or to clip a poking wire, I was always fit in right away. It was fascinating to watch my teeth straighten out by each passing month. I was also surprised to see how many people today decide to get braces at a later age. I was worried that I would be seeing a room full of young kids in the dental office each month but was surprised to see many people older than me getting braces. The days and months went by very quickly and I finally had my braces removed last year. Dr. Douglas even removed by braces in time for my Mom’s visit to BC. I was elated to see how Dr. Douglas and his team had transformed my teeth.

Now, I practice how to smile with my teeth and tease my sisters that I am now the one with the straightest teeth in the family. We all have insecurities but this transformation more importantly is that oral health affects a person’s overall health. I want to thank Dr. Douglas and Orthodontics team for their kindness and dedication to making beautiful smiles.

P.S. Thanks to Lou-Anne, I have a mold of my old teeth for the memories. My sisters joke that I should place it on Mom’s mantel as decoration.

Love, Esther Wu

At Ocean Orthodontics everyone is really nice and easy to talk to, you don’t feel like you’re at the normal “dentist”. It is more open and you feel more at home and everyone makes conversation with you, making it more comfortable.

Wow, the view is spectacular! The staff is consistently upbeat and committed to helping me out. Thankfully there is no elevator music!
