I had 4 implants done by Dr Irinskis and he did a fantastic job. He was very professional and met all the questions and concerns I had. I was very comfortable while the work was done. He made sure I was ok when I wenf home to. I also have to say that I had a problem on a long weekend with my little girl and I had no one to call so I took the chance and called him and he helped me out. That is what I call a overall perfect customer service and I would highly recommend him. Fantastic work

I am humbled by your lovely review. It is rewarding to see that lovely patients like yourself appreciate the the effort some of us periodontists make to accommodate and help out our patients when in need.
I'm also glad you decided to call me as I give out my cell phone to all my patients but not everyone feels comfortable to text me or call me when they have a problem.
Thank you for your most kind review again.

I live in Victoria and my son is a dentist in Vancouver. When I had to have one of my molars extracted and replaced by an implant my son told me that Dr. Tassos Irinakis was the specialist to see. Tassos was able to skillfully remove my tooth without any pain and with no complications afterwards. Even better, my son explained to me that Tassos spent a little extra time to extract my tooth using a special technique so as to minimize damage to the surrounding bone. As a result of his skill and patience, I did not need to have a bone graft for my implant. When it came to the placement of the implant, Tassos did a great job again as I had no pain during or after the implant surgery. Now I just have to wait to for the final crown. Being from Victoria and only being able to visit Vancouver on certain days, Tassos and his receptionists were very accommodating with my schedule. I would highly recommend Tassos without any reservations. – CD Low

Chuck,
It has been nothing but a pleasure to work with you and your son on your case. You are by far one of the most easy going patients I've ever had and I"m just thrilled that you have had a positive and fulfilling experience.
I'm looking forward to the final crown by your son!

I used to travel from the Island to seek treatment from Tassos. That's how good his reputation is. My treatment was completed years ago and I am ver pleased. I'd recommend him to anyone. I just saw his picture in the newspaper in Courtenay, where my children live and decided to check out his ratings. He is absolutely deserving of every one of them.

I had an older front tooth implant recently removed and replaced by Dr. Irinakis. The procedure to fix the problem was further complicated by extensive bone loss, which resulted in a significant bone graph and gum graph, not a real fun scenario. This was however, completed very efficiently and professionally by the very amiable and upbeat personality of Dr. Irinakis and his support staff made the entire experience as pleasant as possible. I am very thankful that I was referred to Dr. Irinakis to have this procedure done and would not hesitate to recommend him and staff to anyone who requires this type of dental care.

I love working with challenging and highly esthetic and demanding cases. I'm just so pleased that you were happy with the outcome. I know some times the path to success can be a little lengthy and demanding but it is certainly worth it in the end.
Thank you for your most kind comments.

I had two implants with Dr. Irinakis. The experience was great. In the first beginning that I was nervous about the surgery. But his professional and confidence put me at ease. The result was great, I had two new crowns that look like my natural teeth. And also some times that my schedule was tight and he always tried his best to find time slot for me. I really appreciate his service and willing to recommend to my friends.

I received a series of gum grafts by Tassos in the past and I agree with my co-reviewers that it was a great experience. Even though gum grafts were described to me from friends as an experience of horror, i did not share the same view when mine were complete. Tassos did an excellent job in minimizing my anxiety and taking measures for me to be comfortable and feel confident in my decision. I certainly recommend him.

I met Dr. Tassos Irinakis over 3 years ago.
If I had one moment to explain the nature of Tassos, it would be that when i explained my difficult situation of coming to his office during working hours, he agreed to see me twice on his days off and once late in the evening. That's true commitment to his patients. I tip my hat to him.

I've always said that we -doctors- need to take responsibility for the surgeries we perform on our patients. They experience an invasive procedure and it is our job to make them comfortable and to be Available to them when needed.
In our office at Vancouver Implant Perio (VIP) Centre, there is ALWAYS someone available to respond to an emergency.
We have 4 Periodontists in the practice and our office remains open practically all year round.
So one of us is always THERE for all our patients.
Personally, I always welcome texts and personal calls on my cell no matter where I am and whatever the time of day/night.
It is just one of the few things we do in our practice to ensure that our service is at par with the most demanding expectations.
Again, thank you for your most kind words.

Dr. Irinakis made a terrible experience (having to lose my first two teeth ever) turn into a great alternative. Down to earth and clearly a master of his trade. I'm in the health industry and he kept me comfortable by explaining in detail every single step of the my treatment. can't say I have a single complaint. Positive experience and if i need implants again, I'm certainly going to him.

Beautiful personality, approachable, takes his time with you, true empathy, great skills, honest character. No BS from him. But the thing that surprised me the most was how easy it was to text him or just call him on his mobile phone. No wonder he's so successful and reputable. I recommend him to anyone looking for quality and true care.

I honestly feel it is our responsibility as surgical professionals to Be There for our patients and to certainly be only a "phone call away" in order to alleviate concerns and anxiety. Texting and calling is always -absolutely always- welcome.
