We were lucky enough to get into Metral Dental. As its one of the only other pediatric dentists in the Snuneymuxw (Nanaimo) region. We see Dr. Chen and he is a delight. A very good example of what trauma informed care looks like for children because they acknowledge your child, inform them, and, in doing so, make them feel safe. I highly recommend Metral Dental and, in particular, Dr. Chen for dental care for your family.
