    I have dentist anxiety. Dr. Winnie made sure I was comfortable at the chair and explained to me every procedure. I left the clinic smiling and teeth feeling much cleaner.

    I saw Dr. Shuit for the first time yesterday. I’m a nervous patient yet she and Sherry had me right at ease within minutes. I’ve never, ever felt as comfortable as I did with a dentist as I did with Dr. Shuit. I highly recommend Dr. Shuit and her team :)

    I went to Dr. Winnie Shuit's clinic for examination and cleaning. She examined my teeth thoroughly and made great suggestions on how to improve my dental health; she also did my cleaning and was very considerate when some of my teeth were very sensitive. The overall experience was very good!

    Doctor is the best. She knows her stuff so well. I am happy that I had an amazing experience in Canada as an immigrant. It’s important to be humble and patient and she possesses both of the qualities.

    Dr Shuit and team were very engaging. They performed a much better examination and review of my checkup than I had ever received before. I have a good understanding of what I need to do to address dental hygiene beyond just "floss your teeth regularly".

    Overall really good service and accommodated based on my schedule, shout out to Brenda. Dentist Dr Shuit and the dentist hygienists were great, all very transparent, and really took the time to explain things to me to a degree I have not experienced before. Learned a lot about my teeth, and had the best experience at a dentist so far.

    Dr. Shuit is very professional. She would patiently explain what she is about to do and what I should expect before performing any check or procedure. I like dental offices like Dr. Shuit's because she is the only dentist (plus two hygienists and few staffs). I can get personal and consistent care that's far better than big dental offices with different dentists working in shifts.

I got cleaning and X-rays done and my wisdom tooth was coming out and infected and they helped me with cleaning it out and getting the pain down a bit. They sent me home with stuff to help clean out my wisdom tooth with until the extraction. Will absolutely be back
