My 1 and only experience with them was fine. However, my career consists of me being on the road. When I have time off at home they are unwilling to compensate time to fit me in and always have me booked 6 months since 2013. If you are like me and work on the road and can get a call for work at any moment in time, I do not suggest this place. They are completely useless to have as your steady dental provider.

Glenn has been my dentist since I was young and even tho I actually don't live in Kamloops anymore, there is no other dentist that I would rather see and have traveled into Kamloops just to see him. He's always super happy and enthusiastic. The receptionists and hygienists are all very personable too. The facility is immensely clean and polished, just like my teeth are when I leave :)
