Sunshine Dental Clinic

It had been a bumpy road trying out different dentists over a decade until a UBC dentistry professor recommended Dr. Tao. I truly can’t say enough about how impressed I am with him and their entire team. From the very first visit, it was clear that this practice operates with the highest level of professionalism. Every member of the staff is courteous, organized, and attentive, creating a seamless experience from check-in to check-out. Dr. Tao is not only kind and compassionate, but also exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable. His attention to detail, gentle technique, and ability to clearly explain procedures made me feel completely at ease and confident in the care I receive. It's rare to find someone who combines clinical excellence with such a warm, reassuring presence. Whether it's a routine cleaning or a more involved treatment, I always feel I'm in the best hands. I’m grateful to have found a dentist who genuinely takes pride in their work and consistently delivers outstanding care. Highly recommend to anyone seeking top-quality dental service in a supportive, professional environment.

We moved to Burnaby 19 years ago and Dr. Tao has been our dentist since then. Even after he moved to Richmond and opened Sunshine Clinic several years ago, we didn't mind 45-minute drive and still exclusively use Dr. Tao's services, simply because we trust his skills, experiences, professionalism and integrity. Typically dental visits could make you feel anxious and sometimes scary, but for us the visits to Sunshine Clinic have always been worry free and pleasant. The staffs are very kind and friendly, the way how Dr. Tao talks makes us relax, he explains details of the treatments and answers our questions patiently, and he chose the most appropriate rather than the most expensive solutions for us. After each session, every single items on the bill are clearly explained, and we never needed to deal with our insurance company directly, the clinic normally takes care of everything. We are very grateful for having Dr. Tao available whenever we have dental issues.

Dr. Gary Tao is the best dentist my family ever had, we had been his patient since 2002, we could not be happier with this decision. He is extremely caring, thorough and, patient and knowledgeable. The thing I like the most about him is how genuine and caring he is, willing to give me and my family as much time as we need to go over a treatment and why we are getting it. You will get call back whenever you are having questions and concerns, even during his time off. I highly recommend this dentist to you and to your families, it will be the best decision you ever make!
