I have been coming to Bayside Family Dentistry for a number of years and the staff have all been pleasant, professional and accommodating. I have had two occasions where emergency dental work was needed and both times I have been fit in on the day. Suzanne Cairns and her team are fantastic. They are all very friendly and warm, and make a dental visit a lovely experience!

Had an incredible experience with Dr. Jeannae the other week. So kind and helpful and she detected my grinding problem before even I did. One round of TMJ Botox and I'm feeling so much better! Telling all of my friends and family about Bayside Family Dentistry now!

Emma Fletcher

THE BEST dental care I have ever experienced. Every member of staff I met was helpful, professional and friendly. I was put at ease, as every step of treatment was explained to me by Dr. Suzanne. Her knowledge and conduct was exceptional and she quickly finished my treatment without any problems. The practice itself was spotless. I would recommend using them to anyone.

Dr. Suzanne is an absolute delight! From the moment you step into her office, she makes you feel completely at ease with her warm, caring demeanor. Her gentle approach to every procedure shows just how much she values her patients' comfort and well-being. Visiting the dentist used to come with a sense of dread, but Dr. Suzanne has completely taken that away. She listens attentively explains everything throughly, and is genuinely committed to providing the best possible care. I can't recommend her enough!
