Dr. Alex R. is indeed a very nice person. However he gave me the most painful cleaning I've ever had in 10 years. Yes everyone has a different pain tolerance but this comment is in comparison to my own other experiences with other hygienists where I had no pain. He also mentioned cavities to take care of. I've been to another dentist since then and this second dentist said everything was okay, nothing to do. He's probably okay but he does not deserve 5 stars.
Great dentist and staff! They really care!!
A very knowledgeable and professional dentist! Trains students at UBC how to do root canals, so must be pretty good at his job. Also very accommodating when it comes to emergencies.
I went to see Dr. Alex for a dental check-up and cleaning and had a very negative experience. I'm quite surprised to see such positive reviews after my visit. It was extremely painful, Dr. Alex gave me a pain scale to indicate when he should stop (5 or above) and when I requested I felt like my pain was minimized and the level of pain continued with my input pretty well disregarded. I was recommended for braces, possible jaw surgery and replacement of most of my fillings. I visited another dentist afterwards (I would never go see Dr. Alex again and requested my X-rays and information be transferred) who was surprised about these recommendations and found them completely unnecessary.
I found his manner to be uncaring and uninterested in my comfort or experience. I left holding back tears, in significant pain and would never recommend this dentistry office to family or friends (not even someone I dislike!).
I was charged 10% (I think this is the correct number) on top of the provincially set fees for the work done, and it was explained that it is because of higher rent in Kitsilano.
It looks from the reviews that other people have had different experiences, which I hope is true. It was a truly awful dentistry experience from start to finish which was really disappointing.

- Friendly workers.
- Great work.
Been going to Accord Dental in Kitsilano for over 5 years now. Even after I left the city, I still make the trips to Accord Dental every time I have a dental appointment. Before I started seeing Dr. Alex, I had dental problems left, right and center. Now, I'm as clean as a whistle. Thank you Accord dental team!
Absolutely excellent experience (as much as seeing a dentist can be). Dr. Alex's knowledge and work are exceptional however I believe the office's best quality is they actual care for their patients. They don't see you as just a pay check and after some of my experiences it is extremely comforting to have found someone I can trust. Now I can move on to finding a trusted mechanic and my life will be complete. Seriously though, great experiences with the entire staff and, I cannot believe I am about to write this, I might actually even look forward to my visits.
After doing some traveling, I have to admit that I haven't seen a good dentist like Dr. Alex. No hidden fees, Dr Alex takes time to explain his work and quotes and more over does an excellent work. My dentist in France, even really got amazed with his work.
My teeth look great and way better than before (sorry for my dentist in France). Years ago Dr. Alex changed old silver fillings with newer white ones and they still look very good to this day (you cannot even see them).
I had to have a special work done (receding gums), today I am glad that I followed his advice.
Last time I returned to Vancouver, I made sure obviously to make an appointment with Kelly, his very professional and pleasant receptionist.
For those reasons, I can just recommend this dental clinic which I miss greatly abroad.
