My English is not very great so please forgive me. Dr Irinakis is a very good doctor with very good skills and bedside manners. He is the No1 implant doctor for a reason. I had very good experience with excellent implant result. I am so lucky.

I heard about Dr Irinakis at my church. A couple of friends spoke very highly of him so I requested from my dentist to refer me to him. He is a lovely gentleman with good manners and an engaging personality. He never stops smiling. He took care of my implant needs and those of my husband's too. I am thankful for his services and his patience with me, as I can be difficult...at times. This is the office you want to be at for your implants. A.

I've known Tasso for over 10 years as a colleague of mine. He's an amazing person and professional who puts his patients' needs ahead of everything else. A true care-giver to the core.

Enjoyable and rewarding experience. Dr Irinakis and his lovely assistants kept all the appointments light and easy. Even offered me a lovely yogurt one time after surgery when I was a little dizzy. I have only nice things to say about this office. Thumbs Up for sure.

Dr. Irinakis and his team are simply outstanding. Beautiful office. Lots of modern technology. Comfortable waiting room and dental chairs. Tough parking though. Extremely knowledgeable. He has done studies and research on the actual subject of implants and sinus bone regeneration, which was the reason I was seeing him. I went online and checked our his research before seeing him. I would not proceed with any treatment without getting an opinion from him first (or a second opinion as was my case).

my daughter and I saw dr Irinakis in Courtenay A little while ago. My daughter is extremely anxious with dentists. And to be frank she was quite rude & aggressive because of her stress and gave Dr. Irinakis a very hard time. However I was impressed by how well he handled the situation and kept keeping everything under control while still treating her with respect and patience and never letting go of his smile. It made me feel very comfortable in choosing him to treat my daughter. I told him afterwards in private that in all my years of visiting various doctors with my daughter I have never come across a health professional who treated her so nicely and with such respect. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Here is my first experience that won me over. I'm there for my consultation and arrived 20min early. I am the last patient of the day. About 15min before my appointment time, the receptionist tells me that Dr. irinakis is running a little behind. Within 5min after that, Dr. Irinakis himself comes out of his surgery to profusely apologize himself to me for the slight delay (which ended up being only 12 minutes). I was so impressed that he stopped his surgery to come out and ensure that i was informed by him personally. He explained later when I was in the room that a complication occurred and it had to be addressed and that he was again sorry for the delay. I was won over right there and then. So respectful and never looking down at me. From that point on, he was always on time (or "on doctor time, aka within 10min) and the quality of his work was unparalleled. I had some gum grafting done and I cannot imagine any other periodontist in the city offering that kind of connection i felt with him and his team.

What a wonderful office and enthusiastic Team! This office makes you feel comfortable from day 1. Always smiling and thoughtful of your needs. Dr. Tassos has certainly surrounded himself with capable coworkers and you can see how highly they think of him. That alone tells me I am in the right office. I have just recently have my first series of procedures and it has been going very well. No Pain; No need for painkillers after the 1st day. Great experience thus far. M

I am a colleague of Tassos. I've worked with him for about 10 years now (from before his new office on Broadway) It is without any reservation that I can tell you he is simply the best in our city. I have never had a single complaint from my patients. On the contrary only praise and thanks for sending them to him. And on top of that, he is a fantastic educator as I have taken courses of his and have attended numerous of his lectures. I do use occasionally other periodontists and they are certainly skillful but honestly Tassos is just in a different league. DMD.
